This week Debbie Reynolds sadly passed away at the age of 84 – just one day after her daughter, Carrie Fisher, died.
Reynolds was a much-loved actress, singer and humanitarian.
Here are some of her best quotes:
1. On seduction
The Telegraph, 2014Women were far more seductive back then – and far less obvious than they are now. A woman should be like a treasure chest. First you should have to find it, then locate the key, and if not, have a key made to fit. It shouldn’t be easy.
2. On body image
The Telegraph, 2014Really thin is not attractive. I was always little but my mother was not a skinny lady. She had big boobs and a divine, voluptuous figure. I think everyone should get over the whole thin thing.
3. On her daughter
Debbie Reynold's memoir, Unsinkable, 2013Carrie is my child, and I love her with every ounce of strength I possess. If love alone could cure our children, they would always be well. Since I can’t, I will do whatever I can to make her life less difficult.
4. On Frank Sinatra
Debbie Reynolds, FacebookHe was so much fun - and a great kisser. I found that out in The Tender Trap.
5. On work
Debbie Reynold's autobiography, Debbie, 1988Singin’ in the Rain and childbirth were the two hardest things I ever had to do in my life.
6. On mornings
Debbie Reyold's memoir, Unsinkable, 2013I'm not a morning person. I'm barely an afternoon person.

7. On happily ever after
Entertainment Weekly, 2016I only had radio growing up, so I loved going to the movies. I always had a thing for a fairy-tale ending.
8. On her Life Achievement award
Entertainment Weekly, 2016Every moment adds up to a life, and that’s why I am here with you for an achievement award that they say I’ve earned. The golden era of Hollywood. Fortunately, that’s really my life. My life is golden.
9. On Las Vegas
The Late Late Show, 2014I like Vegas because it’s fun, free and people have a good time there.
