Luvsbway Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Cute article. Thanks for posting. I love coming across these domestic fluff pieces that were very prevalent back in the day. It also reminds me about that Byline radio interview where Lucy is complaining that some magazine implied they did this all for show. At least when you put these pieces on them together with real stories and personal photos they really did do this stuff. Most of it anyways. Obviously she had a maid so she wasn’t doing the house cleaning and I’m sure they had ranch help. That’s a lot of responsibility for 2 working people that were out of town or working for long periods of time. I think one of the most interesting things in this time period was how much of a glamorous movie star MGM was making Lucy out to being, and when she stepped out she was every bit the star, but she would go home and be this really down to earth, normal person doing all the stuff around the ranch and from all those photos we’ve seen lived really modest too. There is a passage in her book where she talks about sitting around at home with friends who also had places like theirs and talking till late in the night about crop rotation, what insecticide to use, etc… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Once you have canned your vegetables you can use them later to make a salad. Lucy will teach you how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Lucy was Ann Hamilton's go-to veggie gal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenorman Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Brock: Any chance you can give me the name of the magazine and it's publication date for these articles? 1,000,000 thanks if you can; loving you, JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Do you think that the apron just is similar to the wallpaper, same color, floral pattern not exactly the same, unless Hollywood had a special shop where you could get matching ones, LOL!

Brock Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 unless Hollywood had a special shop where you could get matching ones, LOL! Maybe that was key to the success of her alleged artificial flower business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Oh geez, don't remind me of that. The woman is super rich and has this mansion, she's surrounded by REAL flowers and plants OUTSIDE but inside she has these horrible artificial things, LOL! My family went that route when they were in, in the fifties, but we gradually went with REAL things in the sixties, then, only the Christmas trees were artificial, LOL!

Brock Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Now that we have our preserves, salad, and dessert ready to go, the Beaut from Butte is ready to serve her entree and sides: NOTE: I think Lucy's recipe for whipped butter would work well in the Brazil nut stuffing.
