Actress and singer Debbie Reynolds first turned heads with her role as vaudeville singer Helen Kane in Three Little Words for which she received a Golden Globe nomination, but her breakout performance came in 1952 when she starred with Gene Kelly in the classic musical Singin’ in the Rain.

In the 1960s, she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance as the titular American socialite, philanthropist and Titanic survivor in musical biopic The Unsinkable Molly Brown and later voiced the eponymous spider in the movie adaptation of E.B. White’s classic children’s novel Charlotte’s Web.
