Brock Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 One had brains, looks, talent, impeccable timing, foresight, business acumen, financial solvency, the wherewithal to foster a strong empire bolstered by the right people, a stellar and enduring presence on the international stage, the right stuff to still kill in a network war, a clear and tasteful sense of ability, pride in being a clear beneficiary of American immigration policy, and an unabashed, honest and unapologetic appreciation for a good wig. The other wants to be President of the United States. And clearly has a lot more to learn. https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2016/01/08/trump-may-have-learned-from-lucille-ball/IfMKLsivtw9TJ5glJp5c3K/story.html#comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted January 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I went to an exhibition this afternoon entitled: "Andy Warhol: Stars of the Silver Screen" which featured not only his famous portraits of Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, etc, but a lot of the celebrity memorabilia he collected over the years. There were two Lucy items featured, including one framed photo autographed to "Gerry Paperlogg", which might be my new favourite name, and a candid shot of Lucy getting off a bus in the 70s with everyone else's faces blacked out. Unusually, for some inexplicable reason, this last shot is hanging beside a glamorous photo of Pia Zadora! There were also shots of Ann Miller partying with Patti Lupone (to be a fly on the wall!), an inordinate number of Margaret Hamilton portraits, correspondence between Andy and "Miss Ginger Rogers" (this is how she was billed, and her envelopes self-addressed), and my favourite: a large photo of Liz and Mike Todd at the races with Eddie and Debbie and Debbie has been ripped off the end of the photo and scotch taped back on. Lol Poor Deb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenorman Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Watched Lucille in the Flip Wilson Show, [9/16/71] last evening; Ed Sullivan and the Osmond Brothers, other guests; Weiskopf and Schiller, skit writers; when Desi said she had 'bird legs', he wasn't just whistling Dixie! Other photos of Lucille do not reveal how thin she was in 1971. And, I'm amazed, even in the day of hot pants, they would put a 60-year old woman in same; oh, well, glad I got to watch it on Aspire channel....

JoeySanJoaquin Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 The Talk featured Carol Burnett and she told the s at the end of my name Lucy story. And she told it beautifully! Loved her entrance wearing the "man bun" thingy on her head! Seems to be her go to story this go around. Fine by me, she tells it with aplomb. My only disappointment is -- as usual with how they parcel out time on talk shows this daze in that she barely got a segment.... Also, her almost-to-be-expected Tarzan yell was a little weak but I give her a pass, she's only what 80 some odd?? I also loved they showed a clip from The Gary Moore Show, since that really is what got her her first major exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenorman Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Just viewed: ABC Good Morning, America - George Stephanopoulous (whatever! you get the idea) interviewing Josh Brolin (son, guy married to Streisand); senility settling in; who will be playing in a new film about a villainous millionaire Hollywood type (Mannix; Maddox????) and a photo flashed of Lucille and Desi with this guy; just thought I'd mention it here. Anyone have information on this 'guy'???? I think the film is Hail, Caesar! I'd like to know about him....thanks! JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 "Hail, Caesar" involves Eddie Mannix who was an MGM executive who hushed up celebrity scandals. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Mannix Tilda Swinton plays Hedda Hopper in the movie. Who would have guessed that Hedda Hopper would be a big role for Oscar winning actresses 50 years after her death? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 This made me laugh -- I'm glad I wasn't the only one with The Club Election in mind during the Iowa Caucuses.

Although Tilda had been previously credited on IMDB as "Hedda Hopper" in Hail, Caesar!, she does not actually play Hedda. Swinton plays twin sister rival gossip columnists who are obviously modeled on Hedda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I didn't catch the name of this recent theatrical movie that was playing on HBO. Looks like a very gritty movie that has something to do with drug deals. Scene: man knocks on door of slum apartment. Woman inside has television on, though she's not paying any attention to it. The sounds of the noisy neighbors mostly drowns out the audio coming from the TV but something sounded familiar. Then the camera panned the room and on TV: Vivian Vance and Williams Frawley standing side by side in a scene from "I Love Lucy Christmas Episode"-----in black-and-white! Lucy was never shown but you could hear her say "I think that branch is too long, Fred. Go get your saw." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have guessed that Hedda Hopper would be a big role for Oscar winning actresses 50 years after her death? I just saw "Caesar" and I had to explain to my fellow movie companions that Eddie Mannix and (mentioned but not seen) Joseph Schenck were REAL people. During the time period depicted, Mannix would have been 60 and looked nothing like the dashing figure of Josh Brolin. I only know Mannix from his "fixer" history. Don't know how accurate the movie portrayal of his job was, but I didn't know he was involved with production. Several years later, Mannix's wife was having a semi-public affair with much-younger George "Superman" Reeves which makes his mysterious "suicide" all the more questionable. The bit where Frances's scarf gets caught in the moviola: Did they see the "Life with Lucy" premiere with the pasta maker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 I just watched the first part of the O.J. Made in America documentary series on ABC and kept expecting to see something from his Here's Lucy appearance since they showed quite a bit of his television work. They did not, but in the closing moments of the show they had a picture of Desi Jr. grooving at the Daisy nightclub, the spot where O.J. met Nicole.

Luvsbway Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Lucy finally popped up in the third part of the OJ doc. They were talking about how his house was a shrine to him and showed film of pictures on the wall. The promo shot from Here's Lucy was shown hanging on the wall.
