There was a time when Hollywood starlet Debbie Reynolds’ autograph loomed over Las Vegas.
The actress-turned-businesswoman owned the Debbie Reynolds hotel-casino in the 1990s, a spot that included a showroom and a Hollywood museum. Decades earlier, her name hung over the Strip while advertising a history-making residency at the Riviera.
Reynolds even joked about her place in it while performing in the showroom.
“She used to tease about that in her show,” Reynolds’ son Todd Fisher said. “She said, ‘When I die, I want to be stuffed and put in a museum.’ Well, we didn’t stuff her but we did put her in a museum.”
