Back in the day when dinosaurs still roamed the internet, there was a guy in the UK who had an extensive online collection of celebrities variably dressed (I bet those running pay-to-view sites ate a lot of antacid tablets because of him). One pic he had was of Lucille topless.
Did I ever tell you I have always been attracted to red heads. Dated a couple, one other I should have pursued that was drop dead gorgeous but she dated a friend for a time and that made me hold off. Must be the Irish in me.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say I enjoyed Lucy much more in her series "I Love Lucy", than whatever she did in modeling. Lucy was genuinely funny. I loved watching that show as a kid, in the days when I really only liked cartoons.
Of course, I was probably too young to appreciate her any other way. Just sayin.
May be a looker, but when traveling through a midwestern airport on her way to a medical appointment she was the nastiest of all celebrities. Many came through there, but none were as aloof and condescending to the 'common people' as she. My dad worked there. She was a piece of work.
If you are saying the picture in the post "Back in the Day" is Lucy, I think you are mistaken.
ReplyDeleteThat is Lucy.
DeleteYep, that's definitely Lucy. Those are some really early photos but the eyes never lie.

ReplyDeleteDating is fine, don’t put a ring on it. Redheads be crazy. Asks me how I know.
DeleteNever my dish of lapsang soochong, it doesn't surprise me she was one with drive. Desilu was her baby, not Desi's.

Are you aware that Lucy was a prostitute for a few years till she met Desi?

ReplyDeleteI always thought Ball was amazing.
ReplyDeleteTurns out not only a looker, but funny and a shrewd business lady.
