Joey: You said, regarding Cam McCullough, "Hmm, going by the credits, I thought he worked all La Ball's series -- including LWL (at least the first one) yet you don't list them here, any particular reason?"

 

I probably overlooked something in my research; let me go back, and I'll check again. Thanks for calling this to my attention, though; you are THE BEST!

 

Merry Christmas EVE.....

 

P.S. While STILL 'logged on'; checked and IMDb, where some of my research is done, does NOT mention Cam in LWL; but The Lucy Book does; any suggestions where I can find more about him? I can't pull him up on wikipedia, either. Love, JK

Well frankly, depending on Wiki as a definitive resource may be a little "dangerous" as it's one of those sites where anyone can post anything on anybody and list it as "fact" when it fact it may not be!

 

One thought would be to take a quick "zip" through the various DVDs (assuming you have them) and FF through the credits at the end -- I'd almost swear he was listed for most if not all during her long reign.

 

Can't do that (well, legitimately ;)) for LWL but I can tell you anecdotely having been present for the first filming that he was indeed the sound man as he was so deaf at that point, they literally -- herself that is! -- had to yell at him loudly enough for him to hear to let him know they were ready to roll! marionstrong.gif

IMDb and the internet I found 'late' in my research; some of my entries were from various books written about Lucille, etc., and this Lounge, of course, has been invaluable. Also, internet sites have been informative; so, when I find something to add, I might be adding to something I had entered YEARS ago; it's fun and addictive. I do thank you for your assistance, and pray you will keep assisting.

 

Just for my own information, why don't you tell all of us who do not know, how involved, and in what capacity(ies) you were involved in Lucille-related 'thin's'....Thanks again...

 

Loving you, JK
