When my great uncle was in the Korean War he told me that him and a bunch of G.I.s when they came home, all line uped to get a kiss from Lucille Ball, it was one of those things she did for the G.I.s or whatever. But he told me that it was when she was really young and she was doing "My Favorite Husband" at the time, he said she was young and beautiful and she had bright orange-red hair and big blue eyes. I was excited when he told me that story and I always ask him about it. So thats the closest I've ever got to Lucille Ball...through mr great uncle...how about you?

He must have gotten out of the war pretty early, because the war didn't start until 1950 and ILL started in 1951.

Anyway, what Mr. Roper said...my TV Set.

Hey, sorry to go O/T here, but that's a great new picture you have there, dawsongirl. The real Incredible Hulk!

Well, Doctor Banner, strictly speaking, but still... oh how much better than that awful bloody film!

Smelling her perfume on that autographed picture she sent, FOR CLAUDE, LOVE LUCY! And, when she did Lucy in London, Montreal was on the list of other cities considered, pathetic isn't it? And when this big star was rumored to have come here for a face lift, they said it was Lucy, but it was only Bette Davis! I did accost every star she ever worked with that came here to perform though! Jack Benny, Danny Kaye and many others.

The closest I've ever gotten to Lucille Ball is my TV set. I have met some of the people that worked with her like Keith Thibodeaux, Carole Cook, and Jimmy Garret, but I don't know if that counts.

It only counts if you TOUCHED them, well, did you?

Lucy Ball · 09-02-2003, 03:58 PM

Thanks! The Incredible Hulk is such a great show. Haven't seen the film, but I haven't heard anything good about it! Besides...a computer generated Hulk? Shame.

I much preferred Bill in The Courtship of Eddie's Father, he was excellent in that! Did you see that Bio they did of him, he was in so many shows i had forgotten like Martian.

Mkaleek · 09-03-2003, 04:12 PM

WOW! You smelled her perfume!?? Thats unbelievable. And an autographed picture with your name on it? What more does a person need in life when he owns that? Nothing, in my opinion.

SPLAIN · 09-03-2003, 04:15 PM

Sorry, i was kidding about the perfume!
