![]() ![]() Which iconic costume sold for $5,520,000 and broke all records at her memorabilia auction?ĪND SO MUCH MORE! I know, right?!?! I've always like Debbie and am thrilled she is still around to share more memories and anecdotes, in addition to continually working. ![]() Who tried to punch her in front of a large audience? Which Rat Pack member was an outstanding kisser? Who came to the rescue of a sick Carrie while Debbie was away in another country? ![]() Who did Debbie discover jumping naked on a couch while singing opera? Here are some other things you will find out about: Fred Astaire took her under his care while she was training for Singin' In The Rain and showed her the more flawed side of him. I loved the story of when she would faint on cue to avoid being yelled at by a certain director until he learned how to talk to her humanely. There were times when she performed at her Hotel and Casino for free, just to entertain and interact and save money for the debt machine that was her Las Vegas dream resort. She refers to herself as a 'Girl Scout' and horrified when she witnesses Elizabeth and Mike Todd beat on each other and being chastised by all when later told it was a form of foreplay. This is one of the reasons she decided to continue with her story as there is still so much to tell! At 81 years old, that's a lot. Carrie tells us in the forward that Debbie has a remarkable memory and that stories come all the time. Okay, what about the scoop you ask? There were many things I didn't know. ![]()
