Debbie was rushed to hospital after suffering a stroke, just hours after it was announced her daughter and ‘Star Wars’ actress Carrie had died, at the age of 60, having suffered a heart attack on a plane last week.

Her son Todd Fisher simply told Variety: She wanted to be with Carrie.”

Debbie first rose to fame in 1952, when she played Kathy Selden in ‘Singin’ In The Rain’, at the age of just 19.

Following this, she enjoyed success in films such as ‘Bundle Of Joy’, ‘Tammy And The Bachelor’ and the biopic ‘The Unsinkable Molly Brown’, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for her portrayal of the titular character.

Her final acting credit was in 2013, when she starred opposite Matt Damon and Michael Douglas in ‘Behind The Candelabra’, playing Liberace’s mother.
