Along with featuring Ms. Reynolds as its headliner, the hotel housed a museum of her career memorabilia. Son Todd Fisher, who designed the hotel’s theater, maintains the collection at his home, along with the possessions of sister Carrie Fisher (the STAR WARS franchise). Now he and wife Catherine Hickland are proud to announce the following:

The Neon Museum and YESCO, the 104-year-old company known for creating, repairing and maintaining internationally recognizable signs, will officially restore and relight the Debbie Reynolds Hollywood Hotel / Casino / Movie Museum “Debbie” sign. The massive 24-foot-long fuchsia piece will be brought back to life thanks to an application of the YESCO Conservation Fund that was established in honor of the Museum’s 10th anniversary to maintain, repair, and improve signs in the museum’s collection and in partnership with additional donors including Reynolds’ son Todd Fisher and the Debbie Reynolds Estate. This is the first application of the YESCO Conservation Fund, making this project possible.
