I can understand the line up being small potatoes, most of the superstars from her ERA are gone. Thank God Tina and Amy and Marty were there. As well as her old co stars Tim and Vicki. Poor Lucie will forever be seeing that DAUGHTER OF LUCILLE BALL AND DESI ARNAZ thing huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I love what Lucie said about Carol, but for this she sorted of needed an introduction and the introduction was why she was speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Lucie will forever be seeing that DAUGHTER OF LUCILLE BALL AND DESI ARNAZ thing huh? I know you'd think she could be defined on her own for once. Also, it's not like anyone with half a brain couldn't put two and two together and figure it out for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 That baby shower story was great. Also interesting to know Lucie was there at Mattress too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickee Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 What a wonderful salute to the "First Lady of Television Variety" as it was so aptly put. Lucie's first gesture of catching her mother's kiss from heaven and throwing it to Carol was nothing short of lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 There were a few exchanges of dialogue added compared to the CBS Salutes version. Interesting how they cut up the song. I don't know how she does it, but Lucie gets lovelier the older she gets. She looks a full 25 years younger than her actual age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 When I saw the clip was starting from the beginning I said, how are they going to chop this up because it's long. I knew they would not play the whole thing but glad they showed this clip. It's my favorite Carol and Lucy sketch. Lucie had mile long legs. She should thank her mother for those, but yes she is very well preserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely gesture indeed, I saw them throwing kisses but never got that first part. I said in Carol's thread that Lucie looks better now than she ever has and her legs just like mom's are to die for. And she speaks so well and had such a great story too, one we'd NEVER HEARD BEFORE too, which is rare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have shown more of the musical numbers of Carol's instead of those mostly unfunny ones that did now show off her talents as well.
