JoeySanJoaquin Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Read Dick Van Dyke's last book, from 2010 today, only one Lucy mention. He says that when he first met Mary Tyler Moore, he thought she had a little bit of Kate Hepburn in her but he thought she had limited comedic skills and certainly was no Lucille Ball. But years later, she won him over. Dick's a terrific writer, gets to the point, no useless details. He goes over his entire career, films, tv shows, his family, his drinking problem and a great chapter on his idol Stan Laurel, absolutely loved the easy read and interesting book. Great recommendation! Have the full title of it?? I just finished reading the WUNDAFUL book by Jennifer K. Armstrong, "Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted and All the Brilliant Minds Who Made The Mary Tyler Moore Show", all about what it took to get the show on the air, behind the scenes/network interference, cast interaction, etc. etc. It's a fascinating read for anyone into show biz, the workings of television, behind the scenes stuff, and/or one of the all-time best sitcoms, ever. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy4Arnaz Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Was wondering about the Lucy magazine release, even started talking to the vendor that brings them to the store.There is one out on Johnny Cash right now and it looks pretty good which makes me look forward to the future release of Lucy's.

C L A U D E Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 I`ve been dying to ask both LuvsBroadway and Annaleigh if either or both have Rickee`s great Lucy book about her clothes on the show. It`s so nice to see these beautiful gowns in color for a change. The thing I hate about sketches for clothes though is that sometimes the sketch looks better than the final product.

Well, it might be a bit short but it is breathtakingly beautiful to see Lucy in all those gorgeous outfits, in detail and in color too.

I wanted that book when it first came out but never got it! Seeing I was how young! Maybe it's best I didn't get it then, I probably wouldve played with the dolls! Haha. But like Shelly said they can run up to $50 these days! I absolutely love paper dolls. They are absolutely lovely and just so different in today's standards.

Dizzy4Arnaz Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Not new but I recently found 'Laughs,Luck and Lucy' and 'For the love of Lucy'. They also had 'Lucy at the Movies' fairly cheap but after glancing at it , I am still not into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
