Debbie Reynolds
In 1932, on April Fools’ Day,
you entered this world, and are still with us today.
Your original first names were Mary Frances.
Your birthplace was the city of El Paso, Texas.
In Burbank, California, you won a beauty contest.
This started your career many consider among the best.
Warner Brothers and later MGM placed you on the big screen.
In many films and television shows, you would be seen.
It was here you were given your new name “Debbie”.
You have possessed uncanny talent along with great beauty.
Your act contains fine music and funny comedy.
Among your hit songs is the fifties classic “Tammy”.
A friend of mine dragged me down to Atlantic City.
After seeing your act, I now consider myself lucky.
I thank wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for information I obtained to write this poem.
