Here's The Thing: Debbie Reynolds And Robert Osborne
Alec revisits “The Golden Age of Hollywood” with one person who was at the heart of it, and another who keeps it alive today.
Alec talks with Debbie Reynolds about “Singin’ in the Rain” – her co-stars, the rehearsal process, the whirlwind of excitement the movie generated. Debbie describes the slow death of the studio system.
“Everything was done for us, the makeup, the hair. They'd send cars for us. We were very spoiled. We didn't know what to do when they dropped everybody when television came.”
~Debbie talks frankly about her relationships with men and money.
Alec also visits film historian and host of Turner Classic Movies, Robert Osborne. Osborne details the unlikely adventure in Hollywood that led him to his current profession as the ambassador of a bygone film era. Lucille Ball, Bette Davis, and Olivia DeHaviland all play supporting roles in the story of his life.
