She appeared in a cameo role in Connie & Carla<\/em>, and played Liberace’s mother in Behind The Candelabra<\/em>.<\/p>\n Debbie Reynolds received a Best\u00a0Actress nomination for her performance in 1964’s The Unsinkable Molly Brown<\/em>. A noted stage actress, Reynolds also received Tony Award nominations, as well as Golden Globe nominations for her television work.
