A Wimple in Time

In 1966, at the height of Deckers' success, Debbie Reynolds starred in a saccharine, Oscar-nominated Hollywood musical version of her life story.

The producers weren't to know how things would later end: with Deckers depressed, destitute and dependent on alcohol and tranquillisers, killing herself with her lesbian partner in 1985.

I knew she had left the convent but had no idea it all turned out so badly. I still listen to the LP.
