A quartet of film folk stroll along the turf on Epsom Downs, on June 5, 1957 during the 178th Derby Stakes in England. Left to right, Mike Todd and his wife Elizabeth Taylor, singer Eddie Fisher, and his wife actress Debbie Reynolds.

Remembering Eddie Fisher

I guess Eddie Fisher (who passed away Wednesday) and Elizabeth Taylor were the "Brangelina" of their time. I like this 1957 photo because it foreshadows the marriage musical chairs that followed.

Fisher's music was pretty tame by the standards of the rock 'n roll tidal wave that followed. Like a lot of today's teen heartthrobs, it isn't really about the music.

But it's still fun to get in the time machine. How ironic that Fisher sang "I'm always hearing wedding bells" in 1953.

Anyone remember "What's My Line"? Eddie and
Debbie are the mystery guests.

If they had put as much effort into their marriages as they did the musical chairs their families would have been healthier for the world to see. Not easy to do even for the average Joe family in america but very important to society. What a messy world these stars lived. They didn't make one or two big mistakes but more than a several peoples mistakes over and over. But after all these years our society has gotten so use to these behaviors that we don't care. Just becomes a fun thing to read and watch. We love you Debbie. With the death of Fishing I am sure old crap is being put out into the public to torment you again.
