Reynolds' relationship with her daughter was sometimes strained. Fisher wrote a semi-autobiographical novel "Postcards from the Edge" about the experience, as well as her issues with drugs, which was later made into a film. Here are mother and daughter in 1972.

Just a day after her daughter's death, TMZ reported that Reynolds had suffered a suspected stroke and emergency services were called to her son Todd's home. Later that day, he told the press she had died. "She said, 'I want to be with Carrie'," he added. "And then she was gone."
