Unsinkable is the definitive memoir by film legend and Hollywood icon Debbie Reynolds.

In Unsinkable, the late great actress, comedienne, singer, and dancer Debbie Reynolds shares the highs and lows of her life as an actress during Hollywood’s Golden Age, anecdotes about her lifelong friendship with Elizabeth Taylor, her experiences as the foremost collector of Hollywood memorabilia, and intimate details of her marriages and family life with her children, Carrie and Todd Fisher.

A New Fan = Fabulous Life Story

During Covid-19 I am reading/listening to more biographies. I liked Debbie Reynolds and I love classic movies., now I am a big Debbie Reynolds fan. This book is terrific. It’s perfect as her narration made me feel like she was having a conversation with just me. I appreciate how the first part of the book starts out at the later stage of her life and almost 1/2 way she gives all the details of her fabulous journey in a career in entertainment. She’s honest, she gives plenty of teaser tidbits on other celebrities from back in the day, she’s a joyful person. What a family! I have since listened to Todd’s book and Carrie’s too. Todd’s is fantastic, -what a life.

What a life.

I listened to this after watching the HBO documentary. She had quite the life and I am so happy I was able to hear it from her own lips. What a consummate professional she was.

Hollywood Royalty in All Her Sarcastic Glory

I so loved Debbie Reynolds. When I was a little girl I'd watch her movies on the Sunday Family Film Festival and would sing along with her and she was just such a bright, lovely light. AND she was mom to one of my all-time favorite actresses so bonus points there! Debbie Reynolds was a tough cookie, had a big heart, was a consummate professional and lived to entertain others. She was Hollywood royalty and til the very moment of her death wore that crown divinely. Was she perfect? Nope, and she admits it. Here she talks about the more important events in her life; the heartbreak she experienced at not fulfilling her dream of a true Hollywood museum comes through in her narration. I always appreciate when an author narrates their own books and I'm so glad she was able to do that for Unsinkable. I find her voice pleasant and felt a mix of delight and comfort listening to her talk. To the naysayers who think she sounded awful or spoke with forced or odd inflections...have you seen any of her movies? She always had that pseudo-trans-Atlantic Hollywood delivery. And for Pete's sake she was, what...80??...when she narrated the book? Go narrate a book when you're 80 and let's hear how you sound, good lord. Hey if you're a fan of Debbie Reynolds, get the book, it's a good read/listen

Pure Debbie Reynolds, funny and interesting!

I loved this autobiography and it was an extra bonus that it was narrated by the author. She is witty, self-deprecating, and full of great stories from Hollywood and her adventurous life. If you are looking for a good celebrity read, this is a great choice.
