vivfantoo* Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 What a fun read! Thanks so much for posting it. He certainly was in the right place at the right time for a lot of his big career breaks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Nice! Wish I could find a lot of the reviews he did for the Hollywood Reporter. A few of them would be great for a book I'm researching. I contacted the Hollywood Reporter and they told me their archive only goes back to 2006. Pity for us 90s investigators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivfantoo* Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 VBagley, maybe you could contact him directly at/through TCM. He seems like a really nice guy -- maybe he would be willing to provide you with copies of his early reviews? He's such a big fan of Lucy, plus so many people helped him throughout his career that maybe he would do that. And wouldn't it be cool if he did? Best of luck with your book! You know we are all going to want to read it when it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click on the contact button, it gives an address where you can write to him. (Snail mail, but it's a start!)

Good luck! http://www.robertosborne.com/ Robert Osborne is great about responding to mail, too. When I met him in Jamestown in 2006, he was completely charming and I was thrilled to have my picture taken with him. To surprise me for Christmas, my mom sent him the picture of us and told him how thrilled I was to meet him and that I was a huge fan of Lucille Ball, old movies, and himself. She asked if he would autograph the picture so she could surprise me with it for Christmas. He did so quickly and I received a lovely note and autograph that was one of the best Christmas gifts I've ever gotten. My senior thesis in college was about Myrna Loy and the image of women - particularly wives - in Hollywood movies of the 1930s. I always wanted to contact Robert Osborne about it, even just to tell him what I was doing, but unfortunately I never did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Thanks for the heads-up. That was great. It was wonderful seeing Carole and Tom featured as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I loved every minute of this special. Robert Osborne is one of the nicest, charming, and fascinating people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The clips and tributes were all wonderful. It was great to see Carole and Tom included and I loved all commercials, early TV appearances, and home movies included. I was so hoping they would include the clip of Lucy raving about Robert on Dinah and I was thrilled to see that they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yes it was a wonderful and entertaining interview. Robert seems happy and I hope he is. Alex Baldwin deserves a little credit too.

Lucie and Carl Reiner were the other guests. Lucy and Robert were on Dinah! together in early 1980 as well alongside Dick Van Dyke, Fernando Lamas, and Dennis Christopher.

JoeySanJoaquin Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining interview of Mr. Osborne but if I'm being honest, Mr. Baldwin would not have been my first choice for the job....As interesting a life as he's led and all the famous folk he's known and been friends with over the years, I really would have enjoyed at least a "peek" into his private (love) life; yes I KNOW it's "none of my business" but since I feel almost as if I know the man, I'd sincerely like to know about that part of his life, too. He seems to be happy and content. I certainly hope he truly is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Absolutely sensational interview, loved all the Lucy stories, but again irritated by the D E _Z_ I mentions, hope they learn his name spelling before I die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leenorman Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Robert speaks about Lucy at the TCM Film Festival: Brock - Do you have the dates and locale of the TCM Film Festival? Thanks, if you do. This interview is nice; but, hard to hear; I really liked the re-play of the Baldwin interview the other night; channel-surfing and came onto it by accident. Loved his many mentions of Lucille. Loving you, JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Finally got around to watching this. Nice back story for the audience on the RKO theater and then why Lucy wanted to do one too. Nice to hear that bit at the end about the Seesaw party. Bob seems to be the only one I've ever heard mention that he heard Desi call Lucy "mamma". He mentions it on a 90s Joan Rivers Show too.
