Bob Hope is in the hospital with pneumonia.

Everyone hope for the best and watch a Lucy-Bob movie or the episode of ILL in which he guest stars in hopes of a recovery.

No! Watch Fancy Pants. As Lucy would say..."It's a dilly!"

Fancy Pants is good. Lucy really looks great in the movie. The voice of the person who dubbed Lucy's singing doesn't really go with Lucy's speaking voice, however.

Does anyone know if that's really Lucy singing in The Long, Long Trailer?

From Ask Lucie, set #6

"Q. Hi Lucie, Is that your mom singing "Breezing Along With the Breeze" in "The Long, Long Trailer?"

Lucie: That is absolutely my mother's voice in "Breezin." I thought they sounded great together in that number. You can tell that when she wasn't having to pretend to have no talent (as Lucy Ricardo) and before all the years of vocal abuse ruined her voice, she was a lovely singer. That "Lucy" high-pitched, screamy caricature, and decades of smoking destroyed that ability though. Isn't that a shame?"

So, there ya go!

It's a shame they didn't let her sing more in her early film work. She was a good lip-syncher though!

Wow! That's really her singing that? Then she certainly doesn't give herself enough credit because I've read a few places that she said she couldn't carry a tune to save her soul, but I thought her voice sounded *gorgeous* in that song. Awww, I need to rent that and Fancy Pants again. And to be perfectly honest....this is so embarrassing....I thought Bob Hope had already passed on, so I guess it's good to know he's still alive, but sad that he's in the hospital.

Best wishes Bob!
