For 1983's “Do It Debbie’s Way,” Debbie Reynolds invited Hollywood friends like Dionne Warwick and Teri Garr to sweat it out together. But the real star is Shelley Winters, who shows up but refuses to participate.
In Reynolds’s video, Winters shows up wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt that reads “I’m Only Doing This for Debbie,” and then refuses to do exercises with the rest of the group. Instead, she sits in the back, behind rows of Olivia Newton-John look-alikes, goofing off and heckling Reynolds. “Hey, Debbie, are your bulges supposed to hurt?” she asks. During some thrusting exercises, she jokes that she used to do similar moves in a motel; at another point, she asks how many of the women have slept with Howard Hughes (several, including Reynolds, casually raise their hands). During an ab routine, she opts to simply lie on her belly.
