"Oh, honey, I've got sheet music and gorgeous gowns and a good underwire bra." ~ Debbie Reynolds as 'Debbie Reynolds' in Connie and Carla

Today we focus on the inspiring Debbie Reynolds! Not only has she created 'Kathy Sheldon', 'Molly Brown', and 'Bobbi Adler'... to name a few. She also gave life to Princess Leia!

However it is with some sadness that today is the finale of her auctioning off her historic collection of film history. It is a down right shame that nobody was able to help this amazing and magical woman to put together a fantastic museum.

Here's to you Debbie!

"All a woman needs is a good bath, clean clothes, and for her hair to be combed. These things she can do herself. I very seldom go to the hairdresser, but when I do, I just marvel. " ~Hedy Lamarr
