Debbie Reynolds (born April 1, 1932) is an American actress, singer, and dancer.
Initially signed at age sixteen by Warner Bros., Reynolds' career got off to a slow start. When her contract was not renewed, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) gave her a small but significant part in the film Three Little Words (1950), then signed her to a seven-year contract. In her next film, Two Weeks with Love (1950), she had a hit with the song "Aba Daba Honeymoon". However, it was her first leading role, in Singin' in the Rain (1952), that set her on the path to fame. By the mid 1950s, she was a major star.
Other notable successes include Tammy and the Bachelor (1957), in which her rendering of the song "Tammy" reached number one on the music charts; and The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964), for which she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. She continues to perform successfully on stage, television and film to the present day.
Reynolds' first marriage, to popular singer Eddie Fisher, produced a son and a daughter, actress/author Carrie Fisher, but ended in divorce in 1959 when Fisher and her former (and later) friend Elizabeth Taylor fell in love. Her second and third marriages also ended in divorce, each time ruining her financially.

They say you've found somebody new
But that won't stop my lovin' you
I just can't let you walk away
Forget the love I have for you
Guess I could find somebody too
But I don't wan't no one but you
How could you leave without regret
Am I that easy to forget
Before you leave be sure you find
You want her love much more than mine
'Cause I'll just say we've never met
If I'm that easy to forget
Guess I could find somebody new
But I don't want no one but you
I couldn't leave without regret
Your not that easy to forget
Before you leave be sure you find
You want her love much more than mine
'Cause I'll just say we've never met
If I'm that easy to forget
