The vivacious actress, singer and dancer who entertained audiences in musicals such as Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and Tammy and the Bachelor (1957), passed away at the age of 84 on 28 December, one day after her daughter Carrie Fisher passed.

Reynolds became a sensation after starring with legendary hoofers Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor in the immortal MGM musical Singin’ in the Rain, and received her only Oscar nomination for playing the title role in The Unsinkable Molly Brown (1964). Reynolds’ recording of Tammy spent five weeks at No 1 in 1957 and was nominated for an Academy Award for best Original Song.
