Debbie Reynolds to receive SAG Lifetime Achievement Award

Legendary Hollywood star Debbie Reynolds will receive the SAG lifetime achievement award at the organization’s 21st annual ceremony in January.

Reynolds, 82, is an Oscar, Emmy and Tony nominee, having won acclaim for her roles in films of the 1950s and ’60s like “Singin’ in the Rain” and “The Unsinkable Molly Brown,” but also went to play Albert Brooks’ mother in the more recent comedy “Mother.”

On television, she starred in an eponymous NBC sitcom “The Debbie Reynolds Show” and the 1981 ABC comedy “Aloha Paradise.” More recently, she had guest-starring roles in “Will & Grace” and played Liberace’s mother in the Emmy-winning HBO biopic “Behind the Candlelabra.”

The Screen Actors Guild’s lifetime achievement award is given annually to an actor who fosters the “finest ideals of the acting profession.” Recent recipients have included Rita Moreno, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore and Ernest Borgnine.

The SAG Awards will air live on Jan. 25 on TNT and TBS.
