Debbie made her screen debut with June Haver and James Barton in "The Daughter of Rosie O’Grady". Her first big break came in an MGM musical starring Fred Astaire and Red Skelton, "Three Little Words" in which she portrayed Helen Kane, the boop-boop-a-doop girl of the late 1930’s. A subsequent performance in a Busby Berkley musical, "Two Weeks With Love" convinced the legendary LB Mayer to choose her for the leading female role in what became one of the greatest screen musicals of all time, "Singin In The Rain."
