JoeySanJoaquin Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Maybe she didn't work that much by that point, what with her weight and probable health issues?? I don't remember seeing her in anything after TLS till her critically-acclaimed appearance in Whales of August with Bette Davis and Lillian Gish.

Yeah, that's what I thought also, heavy, with a cane but still pretty and all the talent in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy all of our Ann Sothern jokes, but where did the gag actually come from? Yes, of course, she gained weight, but she wasn't exactly enormous or anywhere close to the maternal vehicle she portrayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'm watching Lucy Helps The Countess -- I keep forgetting how much funnier the uncut version is compared to the syndicated version. So many wonderful moments were massacred for the sake of commercials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annaleigh Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Who cares if the gal gained weight! Sucks that careers go on halt because of that factor. The talent doesn't leave you once you gain the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Who cares if the gal gained weight! Sucks that careers go on halt because of that factor. The talent doesn't leave you once you gain the weight. Which Delta Burke proved brilliantly on Designing Women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember that this is a medium where young actresses who are perfect are told to lose weight or get fired, heard about one of those just today on a talk show.

What are you referring to, i.e. "the maternal vehicle she portrayed", meaning My Mother the Car? I'm lost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I've never seen the syndicated version of most TLS episodes. What moments got cut from the apartment episode? There were many little bits cut, but in the version that aired in Canada on CTS circa 2001, the most prominent scene cut is Lucy climbing out of the window to get help from the pigeon landing to climbing into the next window only to find herself racing back into the apartment -- one of the biggest laughs of the episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about all the gags thrown around in the "Alter Lucy Titles", episode guides, and mock headlines threads we've come up with.

Brock Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I've never seen the syndicated version of most TLS episodes. What moments got cut from the apartment episode? For example, our syndicated version cut the entire scene from 4.55 - 7.03 in the video below... which is a travesty. The DVDs were a revelation: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
