My Favorite Movie Star

Debbie Reynolds won my heart when I was twelve.
The Unsinkable Molly Brown, her role.
Her spirited acting did into my imagination delve.
Her voice and expressions shone on a grassy knoll.

Raw enthusiasm and dreams bubbled from Molly’s soul.
Reynolds portrayed her well; the character is woven in my mind.
Whether she was rich or poor, or burning up the bankroll,
I remember her well as through my memories I rewind.

She has played in several other movies over the years.
Choosing characters with valuable messages was her voice.
"A Gift of Love", the Daniel Huffman Story brought me to tears.
An actress with talent and values makes her my choice.

There have been many great actresses since movies began.
Stars like: Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, and Sandra Bullock
Brought in big bucks because of each supportive fan.
But with Debbie Reynolds, I remain awestruck.
