I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like growing up in that family. Absolutely nothing about it would be considered 'normal.' Sure the money aspect would make life easier but beyond that? You can keep all the rest of it.

Debbie was indeed very rich, but her husbands did their damndest to take away her money. Debbie Reynolds was married three times. In addition to the hotel bankruptcy (She owned The Clarion in Las Vegas, which filed for bankruptcy in 1997), Reynolds had other money problems throughout her life. One of her husbands gambled away her money.
In addition to Eddie Fisher, who famously left her for Elizabeth Taylor, Reynolds was married to Harry Karl, described as the president of the “largest independently owned retail shoe store chains in the country.” They lived in a lavish home called “The Embassy."
The New York Post said, though, that Karl “squandered” $100 million of Reynolds’ money. Reynolds’ third and final marriage to Richard Hamlett ended just as unhappily. The New York Post said he also played games with her money: “He had retooled their finances in nefarious ways. He had backdated deeds to their shared properties transferring the estate to his girlfriend and his brother so that they wouldn’t be included in his holdings when it came to determining divorce settlements.”
May she RIP. |
