In the 1996 movie “Mother, ” Debbie Reynolds played Albert Brooks’ mother Beatrice Henderson. In that film, written and directed by Brooks, Albert played a neuritic middle aged man who believes that all of his personal problems result from his past relationship with his mother. To rectify this, he decides to move in with her to work on his maternal issues. “Mother” earned Debbie Reynolds a Golden Globe award for best actress in a comedy or musical.
Albert Brooks took to Twitter to mourn his “movie mom.”
Debbie Reynolds, a legend and my movie mom. I can't believe this happened one day after Carrie. My heart goes out to Billie.
