LOS ANGELES — She had a bold name, but Debbie Reynolds had an even bolder personality. Her screen presence was largely one of an irrepressible, unpredictable energy, all pluck and sass, and she seemed to live her life that way too. Real-life, off-screen personal drama only fed back into her work. She seemed an entertainer and… … [Read more...] about Appreciation: Debbie Reynolds lived a bold life on screen and off

The Latest Lie From Trump’s Alt-Reality
The Latest Lie From Trump's Alt-Reality By Dick Polman You never hear the term "black liar" anymore.
