Lucyilove Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 The great silent film legend Mary Pickford mentions being a Lucy fan in a rare interview she gave in 1976 to Associated Press' Bob Thomas at the time of her career achievement Academy Award. It actually sounds kind of like a comment Lucy herself would make concerning how she passes her time: "I read a lot and try to keep up with what my fellow artists are doing, although I never considered myself an artist. I go into the garden. I watch a lot of television. The news, and I have my favorites, Mary Tyler Moore, Lucille Ball." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyilove Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Knowing how Lucy respected the greats of the industry - Bette Davis, Mae West, etc. - I'm sure she must have been truly honored by Mary's comments. Too bad she couldn't have lured her out of retirement for a guest shot on one of her shows ala Gloria Swanson on The Beverly Hillbillies.

Found an old bio of Douglas Fairbanks this morning where he was also very complimentary of Lucy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all of you GOT the reference to Miss Utah as she was in the news this week with her long rambling incoherent reply to the question they asked her on the pageant, I never watch those crappy pageants but did see it repeated again and again on many talk shows, she was fodder for all of them this past week, LOL!

Hello, Dolly! Starring Sally Struthers Winner of ten Tony Awards including Best Musical, Hello, Dolly! is one of the most enduring Broadway classics. Emmy-award winning Sally Struthers (All In the Family, Gilmore Girls) stars as the strong-willed matchmaker Dolly Levi as she travels to Yonkers, NY to find a match for the ornery "well-known unmarried half-a-millionaire" Horace Vandergelder. Featuring an irresistible story and an unforgettable score including the title song, "Put on Your Sunday Clothes," "It Only Takes A Moment," and the show-stopping "Before the Parade Passes By," Hello, Dolly! has been charming audiences around the world for nearly 50 years.

C L A U D E Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Maybe if you go see her backstage for an autograph, she'll do to you what Elaine on seinfeld did to George's character when he did not get a Christmas card from her showing her NIP. And she'll stick YOUR nose into her Barboobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
