Luvsbway Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I find it interesting she's quoted about how comedians have staying power and then lists a bunch of people I never heard of. At least the one truth is no one is saying "Do you remembere Lucille Ball. I wonder what became oh her?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Well, she's naming the ones that were popular in HER era. You're too young, I remember all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Everyone should know Marie Dressler at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Exactly, one of the best actresses of her era. Problem is with those older stars is they should always have a photo when they do their obits as so few seem to know them by name. Didn't Marie have that great line in that famous Jean Harlow movie? JEAN SAYS: THEY SAY THAT ONE DAY MACHINES ARE GOING TO TAKE THE PLACE OF EVERY PROFESSION! And Marie cracks . . . THAT'S NOTHING YOU NEED TO WORRY ABOUT MY DEAR! As Jean looks like a hooker.

C L A U D E Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Well, I was close anyway, LOL! Great scene. Marie's delivery is Lucy worthy. Another old actress I remember is Jane Darwell, and most people wouldn't know her name but they might remember her as Henry Fonda's mom in the great GRAPES OF WRATH.

Luvsbway Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 In an article I saw in an Ebay auction it had said that due to Lucy being tutored at home she was able to graduate from Celeron High School at age 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmadluv7 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I find it interesting she's quoted about how comedians have staying power and then lists a bunch of people I never heard of. At least the one truth is no one is saying "Do you remembere Lucille Ball. I wonder what became oh her?" EXACTLY, I knew none of them (besides being introduced to them here, thanks for the video Brock) Its funny though, it wasn't the comedy movies that held the world's attention as it laughed, it was Lucy Ricardo (TV). Even though most of this is...it shows her ambition. She was, and was always willing to work- and to think, she was working up until her final years. I think generations to come, will know Lucy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Most of you on here never heard of those old ladies Lucy mentions, but older people like me do. Thankfully however, I agree with you that although young people today might not know old timers either, they mostly KNOW the great Lucille Ball.

Mmadluv7 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Yea, its 2014, but I so appreciate being introduced to the comediennes of the past. I love anything funny and nostalgic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I thought this flower shop thing was just stuff written about in mags. I never knew there was a whole shop with a name. We also need DeDe at one of her piano concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling this picture was taken on the RKO lot. It wouldn't surprise me if after this photo was taken they changed the sign to "Fay Wray's Pecan Pralines" and then to "Betty Grable's Sweet Shop and Soda Fountain."
