82. When Debbie Reynolds Met Eddie Fisher

Fifty years before the Brad-Jen-Angelina love triangle, there was Eddie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, and Elizabeth Taylor. In the early 1950s, crooner Eddie Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds were officially known as “America’s Sweethearts.” They were also best friends with actress Elizabeth Taylor and her husband Mike Todd, and were even in each other’s weddings.

After Mike Todd tragically died in a plane crash, Eddie went to comfort his best friend’s wife (and wife’s best friend) Elizabeth Taylor. He ended up spending the night—and starting an affair that scandalized the nation.

Did Elizabeth feel any remorse for ‘stealing’ her friend’s husband? “I don’t go about breaking up marriages. You can’t break up a happy marriage,” she said. “Debbie’s and Eddie’s never has been.” Join us as we read through the “lore” and history of this infamous love triangle that rocked the end of the 1950s.
