Debbie Reynolds Performs At Drury Lane Oakbrook Terrace 8/6-8/9
As the star of more than thirty motion pictures, two Broadway shows and two television series, as well as dozens of television appearances, Debbie Reynolds continues to captivate audiences with her unforgettable performances. This legendary star shines once again, August 6 through 9, at Drury Lane Oakbrook Terrace, 100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace, IL.
Reynolds' career began unexpectedly when she won a beauty contest at the age of 16. Two of the contest judges were scouts from Warner Brothers and MGM. When they heard Reynolds' show stopping rendition of Betty Hutton's "I'm Just a Square in a Social Circle," they took an interest and launched a career that would land Reynolds in the spotlight for life. Reynolds made her screen debut with June Haver and James Baron in "The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady." A subsequent performance in a Busby Berkley musical, "Two Weeks with Love," convinced the legendary Louis B. Mayer to choose Reynolds for the leading female role in what became one of the greatest screen musicals of all time, "Singin' In The Rain," starring Gene Kelly and Donald O'Conner. Not yet 20, Reynolds proved her performing talent and went on to act in more then 25 films, including the Academy Award nominated, "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." Her career skyrocketed as she became a leading lady in musicals and comedies, and performed on television and in nightclubs.Videos
