ILoveLucille Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 First off i apologize if I'm posting under the wrong topic. Admins, feel free to move or delete this post. Now, I've seen this picture going around as Lucille and I'm 99.9% sure it isn't, so does anyone happen to know who this lady might be?

Brock Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Perhaps this is the shot at the centre of the "Why do they want me to sign a photo of Ann Sheridan?" Lucy story in the Lee Tannen or Jim Brochu books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveLucille Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Now that I look at it, I think you're right. It does look a lot like Ann. Ive never read the story though. She went ahead and signed it anyways? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I've seen that same photo claiming it's Lucy. It looks nothing like her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Well, it DOES look like her. But as I look at all my Lucy books full of pictures of the greats from HER era, I am always stunned by how many other great actresses had something close to that Lucy signature look. Seems the make up and hair people at the studios did give many of the stars in Lucy's heyday some of the same or similar LOOKS, I notice that all the time.

ILoveLucille Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I can see a slight resemblence, but not enough to mistake her for Lucy. Another actress i see commonly mistaken for a younger Lucy is Joan Bennett and on occasion Joan Blondell amd Ginger Rogers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Well Lucy was trying replicate some of those looks so they have some validity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I agree about Joan Bennett, I saw a pic of her just yesterday where I thought it might be Lucy. Look at your avatar, you can see a little Katie Hepburn in the face, and yours Shel has a bit of Maureen Ohara. I've seen many others, even a very young Yvonne De Carlo.

ILoveLucille Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I see maureen sometimes as well and occasionally Hedy lamarr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Oh yes, Heddy often resembled Lucy, even in that famous MGM group picture where they are next to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreddieMertz Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 It looks Jane Russell-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Must be my now lousy eyesight, looks very Lucyish to me. Of course it IS very smallish too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveLucille Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Funny, I was just looking at the MGM picture before reading your comment, Claude. I think Brock is right about this being Ann though. Doesn't look like Jane or Lucy at all to me. Sorry its smallish, I'm still getting the hang of things here. Lol.

C L A U D E Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Well, you're doing wunnerful, wunnerful, and I love that Lucy avatar of yours, so unusual, and so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveLucille Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Thank you! I love those younger photos of Lucy. So different than what most people are used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Now admit it, can't YOU see some Katie Hepburn in your avatar of Lucy? Of course it could be as they were both at RKO at that time and the same make up and hair people helped both of them develop their similar LOOK.

ILoveLucille Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yes, yes I'll admit it. Since you mentioned it I can see Katherine in my avatar, however that is then only time I've ever seen any Katie in Lucy. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think it might have something to do with Lucy's POSE also. I can imagine Desi in Lucy but Katie, not so much, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveLucille Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Lol! Now THAT I can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
