UKlucyfan Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 So here's a question. . When did Lucy get the title. I always assumed it was from the show however I had on a radio play today from 1947 and she was introduced as a "comedian" and "Queen of comedy" si when and how did she get that title of not from the Lucy show?

HarryCarter Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Lucy was named "Queen of Comedy" for the year 1946 by the Associated Drama Guilds of America. Danny Kaye was king that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'd be curious to hear when she was starting to be called First Lady of Television, late in her career I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title was bestowed on her based on her performance in Easy to Wed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Well that role was worth winning something. She was fantastic in it and MGM was stupid for not giving her more roles like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
