I think Hollywood’s insistence on taking down fan content is churlish and hateful. It appears that if they aren’t directly making money from it, they don’t want to share it. Not a very nice way to thank the aficionados…

But it really isn’t. She was a comedic genius. Two of my favorite episodes were the Van Johnson episode and the Bill Holden episode (my favorite favorite was the episode where they are in Ethel’s home town…the very end is hilarious!). We will continue to love Lucy, because here show is timeless. I look forward to introducing future generations to her!

Lucy credits her breakout role in Stage Door to Ginger’s mother Lela, who started the Hollytown Theatre. This gave young contract actresses who were not getting jobs the opportunity to star in stage plays. Lela would invite all of the studio heads and show them what their contract actors could really do.

The three Astaire/Rogers pictures that Lucy appears in are:
Top Hat
Roberta
Follow the Fleet

I have also read that Lucy and Ginger double dated often with Henry Fonda and James Stewart, respectively.

Last year I worked on a coffee-table book about the I Love Lucy series. There was not much text but lots of photos and a sound button to push to hear lines of dialogue. The publication got delayed so I am not sure when it is due for release, but it helped me relive all the episodes again. It’s amazing how much of them I retained even after all these years. The Harpo Marx and William Holden episodes are my favorites. Thanks for remembering Lucy.

New generations will discovering the joys of I Love Lucy one hundred years from now. Here’s an idea…drop Lucy CD’s on Iraq and Afghanistan. I’ll bet our Lucy could charm even the most hate filled extremist.

I love the ILL tv show, especially when she and Desi went to Hollywood and all the antics that ensued. That fake nose with William Holden is priceless! Lucy was definitely an example of hard work, talent, and business savvy.
