Turner Classic Movies is honoring the late and great Debbie Reynolds.

Following the actress’ death at age 84 Wednesday, the network has planned a 24-hour marathon of Reynolds’ greatest film roles from 1959 to 1968 on Jan. 27. Beginning with It Started With a Kiss (in which Reynolds stars opposite Glenn Ford), the marathon will include Reynolds’ iconic turn in Singin’ in the Rain with Gene Kelly and her Oscar-nominated performance in The Unsinkable Molly Brown.
