“Fred Astaire was retired when he worked in ‘The Pleasure of His Company,'” she recalls. “They were lucky to get him to play the father part. He only had a little dance at the wedding. He said to me, ‘You don’t worry about dancing. Just relax and let me lead you. Let me guide you.”‘. And Reynolds did. “I just floated around the table,” she says. “We didn’t make one mistake, at least not that I remember. We did it in one take.

Hollywood’s latest tribute to Reynolds, 82, was a presentation of the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award on Jan, 25, and daughter Carrie Fisher did the honors, During a visit with Reynolds in her cozy guest house on Fisher’s property ballet glass tile pendant w/ matching rubber adjustable necklace in Beverly Hills, she sips a cup of tea and is joined on the sofa by her fluffy white Coton de Tulear dog, Dwight, Reynolds is brimming with stories about the Golden Age of Hollywood and she even performs part of “Moses Supposes” from “Singin’ in the Rain.”..

Her career began when she was signed by Warner Bros. after winning the title of Miss Burbank at age 16. She was an uncredited extra in the 1948 film “June Bride,” and then she was cast in the 1950 musical “The Daughter of Rosie O’Grady,” playing June Haver’s younger sister. “Jack Warner said, ‘What am I going to do with the kid? I am not going to do any more musicals,’ ” Reynolds recalls. But MGM was doing musicals. Warner casting director Solly Baiano drove her in his Cadillac — “I had never been in a Cadillac,” the actress recalls — to MGM, where she met with producer Jack Cummings, who cast her as singer Helen Kane in “Three Little Words” (1950).

“Mr, Mayer saw it,” Reynolds says of MGM studio chief Louis B, Mayer, “He called Jack Warner and said, ‘Thanks for sending me the kid, I am going to use the kid.’ ”, She played a more substantial role ballet glass tile pendant w/ matching rubber adjustable necklace in the 1950 Jane Powell musical “Two Weeks With Love,” appearing with newcomer Carleton Carpenter, Their performance of the novelty song “Aba Daba Honeymoon” was such a hit that MGM sent the two out on tour performing between movie screenings..

“They wanted us to learn how to perform on stage,” Reynolds says. “We did five shows a day. We would sing, like, three numbers. It was fun.”. Reynolds moved quickly from supporting roles to playing the female lead opposite Kelly and Donald O’Connor in “Singing’ in the Rain.” It was producer Arthur Freed, she says, who was willing to take a chance on her, even though she wasn’t a trained dancer. Reynolds laments the lack of movie musicals today. She doesn’t consider “Into the Woods,” based on Stephen Sondheim’s Broadway classic, to be a musical. “It’s a tribute to his lyrics,” she says. “It’s brilliant. It’s a tribute to his creativity, but that is not what I call a musical.”.

Reynolds got to show her dramatic side in a few films, including 1956’s “The Catered Affair” with Bette Davis, ballet glass tile pendant w/ matching rubber adjustable necklace Ernest Borgnine and Rod Taylor, The shoot was not a pleasant experience because director Richard Brooks hated her, Reynolds says, “I was dating Eddie Fisher, and it upset him,” she says, “He called me Little Miss Hollywood, He didn’t think I could act at all, and he didn’t give me any chance, Bette Davis really helped me and coached me and got me along, Everybody was nice but Richard Brooks.”..

She also had issues with Charles Walters, who directed her to her only Oscar nomination — the title role in the 1964 musical “The Unsinkable Molly Brown.” “He didn’t want me — he wanted Shirley MacLaine,” Reynolds says, adding that contractual issues prevented MacLaine from accepting. “I have often stated that Walters came to my house, met with me and told me of his disappointment. He said, ‘You are totally wrong for the part.’ I said, ‘No, I’m not. I am exactly right for the part.”‘.

She credits her acting coach at MGM, Lillian Burns Sidney, for working with her and co-star Harve Presnel every night, “All the training at MGM came to be a great help for me on ‘Molly Brown.’ ” she says, Six weeks into the production, Walters changed his opinion, “He came to me and ballet glass tile pendant w/ matching rubber adjustable necklace said: ‘I have to admit that I was wrong, You are playing the role really well, I’m pleased,’ ” Reynolds recalls, “He directed me very well after that.”..
