Brock Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 While watching this bizarre interview with Hermione Baddley during my lunch -- I mean, the peculiar host even asks Mrs. Naugatuck how Walt Disney cast her in "Mary Hopkins" -- I was surprise to see Charles Higham drop in to discuss his new Lucy bio and its launch, timed to coincide with the first Life With Lucy broadcast: He comes on around 17.10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 UGH! Skip E. Lowe makes me bilious. What a complete and utter tool. He makes each interview he does all about himself. I saw his one with Virginia O'Brien and she could barely get a word in edgewise. Still, thanks for sharing. At least there is archival material of this sort available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a character...to put it mildly. Met him in Hollywood on a couple of occasions and yes, the conversation was always directed back by him to his life and career...but then I think he was a child "star" so he was accustomed to being the focus.. Now that he's gone, I really should read his autobiography...it's no doubt uh....riveting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to mention Lowe was the "inspiration" for Martin Short's hilarious Jiminy Glick character...and after watching this video, am reminded why!

Thanks if you can research....Love, JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie2 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 This man is absolutely bonkers. As soon as Joey brought up Jiminy Glick I could see it. I'm guessing this must have been not long before Hermione Baddeley died. I laughed at the credits when it said "Makeup: Charlene". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeySanJoaquin Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 If I remember right, he shot those at his West Hollywood home...one reason the set was so....so.... functional. If you think "Charlene" is bad how about his "boy toy" (ahem) who opened at the top with the introduction?? Here's a real (or is it "reel"?? (!)) scary find, a Lucy "connection"!!! Lookie who was in one of her better (IHMO) mid-career films: Best Foot ForwardCadet (uncredited) --at least as listed in IMDB.com. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0523049/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
