It is a day late, but yesterday would have been famous funny lady Lucille Ball's 100th birthday. Lucy will always have a big piece of my heart. For one thing she and my grandmother will be inextricably linked in my memory. Whenever I see Lucy on Television I see my grandmother in her. I picture my grandmother as many would have known her, but as I never I had, a young, vibrant red head (at heart) who was full of life. I like to picture her as the woman on the screen stuffing chocolates into her mouth and stomping on grapes with her close friend Stella.
I also admire Lucille Ball for her strength and ambition. She was a funny lady that brought a lot of ground breaking ideas and themes to television. Her tv shows and movies never cease to fill you with good feelings and make you laugh hysterically. She truly put all of her heart into what she did and though she may have had regrets they certainly were not for things she had not tried to accomplish.
Here is to Lucy, who really knew what it meant to spend time laughing at yourself!
I am a real ham. I love an audience. I work better with an audience. I am dead, in fact, without one. - Lucille Ball
