Publisher's Summary
In this frank and witty autobiography, Debbie Reynolds shares her vivid memories of her public and private life: her widely publicized and turbulent marriages to Eddie Fisher and businessman Harry Karl; her experiences with other stars like Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Bette Davis, Shelley Winters, Glenn Ford, Robert Wagner, Fred Astaire; her hard-won and enduring relationship with her son, Todd Fisher, and daughter, actress Carrie Fisher; and the fabulous success of her later career in nightclubs, television, and theater. This recording is a unique documentary - the story of Golden Age of Hollywood from the perspective of a survivor, an act of courage from a woman whose screen performances have touched us all.

Her to be second husband gives here a diamond pin in the shape of a swanjust because they are going to the ballet....but, of course, later steals all her money.t.

Sadly VERY abridged
A very disappointing product as there are huge gaps in the narrative and we miss out on so many important milestones in Debbies life. It’s like an audio “Cliffs-notes”. Thankfully, we have an unabridged Debbie in her second memoir, UNSINKABLE. The woman - and her legacy- deserve much more than this truncated version. Hopefully, one day, the unabridged version of MY LIFE will be available.

Wish it had been unabridged!
Had some audible interference for a short segment of the recording. I've read this book entirely and got it just to hear Debbie Reynolds tell some of her story. I love her and she did not disappoint, me. Just wish it had been a full reading.

Told like only Debbie Reynolds could do!
The story was told by Debbie, herself. It was as if she was sitting here chatting away telling her life's story in a very personal way. Her description of happenings gives the listener the opportunity to use your imagination and can picture it all!! Such a talented lady that had quite a sad life when it came to love.

To much cut out
This book has so much cut out from its written format I hated it. Read the book not the audible one.

Abridged Too Far
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The whole book.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The parts were good but jumped all over the place.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
None stand out as they noticeably cut from one period to another.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Debbie: My Life?
Perhaps the whole book in two parts or just the whole book.
Any additional comments?
Look forward to the unabridged version,
