Was this just a typo that cropped up? I’m not familiar with whatever idiom the title came from. “Lucy, Legal Eagle” is the official title, according to the original script. https://www.historyforsale.com/lucille-lucy-ball-script-signed-circa-1986/dc226784 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Dame Diana Rigg has passed away at 82 https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-54106509 This is a kick in the guts. She was one of the first celebrities I became a fan of as a child. I used to stay up to watch her introductions to Masterpiece Theatre. What a terrible loss.

She was one of the first celebrities I became a fan of as a child. I used to stay up to watch her introductions to Masterpiece Theatre. What a terrible loss. The grief surrounding her passing is very palpable and I’m sad to say I’m not super familiar with her work. We were definitely always a Masterpiece household but with her leaving in 2003 I’m too young to remember her hosting gig. Her performance in the film version of A Little Night Music was more than Oscar-worthy, and I consider her “Every Day a Little Death” to be the best I’ve heard. I was in NYC when she was playing Mrs. Higgins at Lincoln Center and considered going, but was too lazy to walk/too cheap to pay for a cab (on top of ticket prices) and now I regret it. I think I’ve seen one episode of the MTM-style sitcom she did in the 70s and am tempted to seek out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 She played the Evil Queen in the Golan Globus Snow White, one of the more loyal Grimm Brothers adaptations. She was a knockout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty likely, they were probably both taped here in Burbank at what used to be NBC Studios, where Carson held court for years. Currently known as The Burbank Studios after being acquired a few years ago by some conglomerate after the NBC / Universal merger and Tonight (with Conan) moved to Universal next to the famous theme park.

Luvsbway Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Ann came as a shock. Watching The Prom last night and Nicole Kidmen's number brought to mind how fabulous Ann was doing Fosse's work. Loved, loved her in All That Jazz. "Pretty Pictures".

I'm still waiting for MeTV to do an on-air tribute. Looks like it's not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
