LucyEths Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Yep! Just picked one up at the news stand. Skimmed thought it and I'll just say it's worth getting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chedderchester Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 One fact that seemed quite wrong is that it says Lucy gave birth to Lucie 3 MONTHS before they started shooting. Ummmm, how about 6 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I happened by a news stand at 1.30 this morning as they unpacked them. It's a great little book. I hadn't seen five or six of the photos in it. (Some slightly different angles than usual) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 It's nice to see one of these magazines contain a complete episode guide. That's a nice touch for those who may not own the Andrews or Fidelman book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeySanJoaquin Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Can't WAIT to get my hands on one since it sounds like it's well done! Guess that'll be the highlight of my w/e looking for this latest release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickee Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 So glad they put this out, but yep, always a few errors that is to be expected. For the record: pg 11, Lucy died at 77, not 78. Pg 24, bottom right photo is from 1954. Pg 75, middle left photo is from 1946 on set of "Lover Come Back" and that of course is not her mom. Upper left shot is Desi from the early 1940's, not 1955. Shot with Liza and Desi Jr. is from February of 1972. On page 91, lower left shot is not from 1957, it is from "Ziegfeld Follies", 1944, film released in 1946. On page 93, lower left, while this Vivian from 1955, it is not actually backstage, it's on the set of "In Palm Springs" episode. The interesting part is she is holding a May 1955 McCall's magazine (which is used in the episode) which has actually has an article written by Vance, "I Don't Run Away Anymore." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will the publishers of these magazines learn to look to communities like this (and contributors like you) to double check the facts? I say all active "Lucy Lounge" members team up to prepare the ultimate comprehensive (and accurate) tribute magazine(s) for the 70th anniversary in five years time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice idea...but to have to wait five more years troubles me -- who knows who'll be where when??! Besides...66 is a nice even number! Wonder how this whole 5-year marker thing ever got started?? We sure have some crazy traditions when you stop and think about it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock: Don't have any newsstands around here that I know of; don't get out much; would you please pick me up a copy of this Closer; tuck it in your bag and I'll buy it from you this summer (plus, a tip of a second margarita as well at Taco?) That would solve my difficulty looking all over town. I didn't see it at Dollar General. Thanks if you can; and I would be so grateful!!!!! If I find one in the meantime, I'll let you know; but, just in case, donchano!!!! Loving you, JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRickyII Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I want to know more about the hawt romance between Priscilla Presley and Tom Jones. Tom Jones was Elvis's buddy. I've heard the rumors but not sure if they're true. She did have an affair with her martial arts trainer, though (who Elvis had hired), as the marriage was unraveling.
