leenorman Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 This was a radio show. Lucy played opera singer Grace Moore. This was probably the second broadcast of the night that was done live for the west coast. Thanks, Harry; maybe I won't have to 'investigate' as suggested in my just prior post; any details you can give us about this radio show; and its relation to the 1950's Desilu TV series? Thanks if you know. Loving you, JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I found Katharine Hepburn and Esther Williams DVD box sets on sale for $10 each today featuring Easy To Wed and Without Love. Good deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ky_monroe Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi all! I'm super new here and was referred here by Shelly (Luvsbway). I am hoping I can have a couple questions answered about two signed checks I just purchased and received in the mail! Any help from the experts is very much appreciated. I got them in one lot on eBay. One is signed by Lucy and dated December 1955, and the other is signed by Desi and dated January 1953. Can I be 100% sure these are authentic? I've taken a few close-up photos of each check. Shelly confirmed for me that yes they are authentic, but I figured the more expert opinions the better! Is there any reason I should question the authenticity? And, under Desi's signature where it should say "countersigned" it has a typo and says "cuntersigned." (A pretty bad type I know). Should I be worried about that? There are also a couple signatures on the back of each check, including DeDe's on the back of Lucy's. I'm so sorry, I don't know how to make the images smaller!! And I don't know why they're turned sideways! Thank you so so so much! X -Ky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Welcome to the Lounge! I don't think you have any reason to second-guess the authenticity. Maybe that wondaful typo increases the value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Glad to see you got them. And a second welcome to the lounge. Our newest member did make me think of something. How did all these checks start making it into the collectors market? I believe it was in the mid 90s I first saw them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ky_monroe Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Thank you so much for the welcome!! I'm really glad to be here! A Marilyn collector I talked to also told me not to worry about the typo. Bad as it is, it's pretty funny, haha. And I was recently wondering the same thing too, did they all start being auctioned off at different times or who even released them?

UKlucyfan Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just scored my for Lucy item since forever ago. I recently got a modern high that played 78s as well as standard records. I got it fixed up but didn't have 78s. On searching around I found the Desi Lucy single 'Carnival In Rio' going cheap on ioffer. It arrived today and is AWESOME (I had heard the song before on CD) I'm so psyched right now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 For Christmas I got the book Lucy's Palm Springs. Apparently this is an updated version. I know very little of this book, but it should make for an interesting read. Anyone read this new version or the old one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it at various establishments over the period of couple years I lived there, even prominently displayed at the local hardware store(!) of all places..but much as I would have like to snag a copy, I was unemployed and couldn't justify the purchase, especially given it seemed from what I recall to be a bit on the "cheesy" side...for lack of a better word. That being said, I'm happy you got gifted it and hope you enjoy it. Would love to hear a review of it once you've read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted February 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I found these beauties at a Toronto movie poster store today — and the entire shop was 30% off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted April 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I found this weird plastic promotional beerstein in a flea market this afternoon. I had no idea such a thing even existed and I wonder how they were distributed — did they come in boxes of Budweiser? Was it a promotional studio item? Hmm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie2 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 I find Swing Out, Sweet Land to be so fascinating. It rallies back and forth from kitsch to schlock to genuine inspiration. It's probably a good representation of the values of a certain side of Vietnam-Era America; Archie Bunker sang the praises of the special on an episode of All in The Family. I want to know how this behemoth was produced, how much money was pumped into it, and what kind of ratings it got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKlucyfan Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 I got a dvd today of the Bob Hope 100th anniversary: Bob Hope on tv. It had a huge publicity shot from critics choice in the front and back. The surprise was Lucy wasn't on the dvd at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I found this poster at a flea market this afternoon — I had no idea Desilu had a Canadian sales arm. Now to find out where it is! The poster reveals nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, yes, but the only vice regal suites are in the provincial legislature — none go that high — and in the Canadian Pacific hotels, so definitely not the permanent location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
