Brock Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Lucy looks like she's having such a great time here. Hedy, on the other hand, seems like she's one step away from being off to the races throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Lucy always shows deep affection for Bob. By 1966, most of these women's careers were virtually over, with the exceptions: Lucy, Phyllis and Joan Collins, yet they all seemed so young still. I don't know that I've seen Joan Fontaine as herself. She's "grand" in the deHavilland style. Of this group, Lucy at 55 is the oldest. Joan Collins is the youngest of course. Most of these women were born in the 20s, so were in their 40s in 1966. Bob is 63. Lucy always seemed more of the era of the younger women because she peaked later than her contemporaries. One co-star missing: Katharine Hepburn from "Iron Petticoat". What's with Hollywood/TV's fascination with "Petticoat"? We had "Petticoat Junction" and "Pistols and Petticoats" running at the same time on TV. "Operation: Petticoat" and "Iron..." in the movies. Other than referencing these, I've never heard the word "petticoat" spoken in real life. I'm not even sure I know what one is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've been on the hunt for a petticoat to fill out my most perfect ILL dress. A petticoat is layers of chiffon that you wear under a dress to puff it out. Not to be confused with a crinoline which is layers of mesh netting you wear under a dress to puff it out.

Luvsbway Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 She is having such a good time. Other then Diller most were on the bland side. Lucy gave a nice shot of funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yeah, i know she had a habit for lifting his specials to truly special, she saved a whole lot of Hope specials for moi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I love Lucy here again stealing the show though Phyllis is funny too. I love her sweet, high pitched southern bell voice that sounds just like Scarlett, her sauciness and playfulness and her seriousness with a look of disgust when she said we played Dutch. Most of Bob's specials weren't special weren't her. She knew to have fun and really do the best out of a dull script. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
