    Happy BD Lucy!

    Lucille Ball was born 100 years ago today. Before she made that classic tv show with her husband Desi Arnez, she had appeared in almost 50 movies. I doubt if her comedic genius will be equaled.

    Of course, we'll never know how funny this Lucy was:

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    But guess which Lucy had a bigger impact on the human race?

    And how many dames can get away with smoking on-screen these days?

    We look back at Lucy, Vivien, 'Reeecky' and the whole cast with a bit of a chuckle...thinking how simplistic those times (and the shows' plots) were - when in reality they would probably be laughing at us.

    After 50+ years, the show is still on tv making the new generation laugh. My favorite scene was her & Harpo Marx recreated a scene Harpo did with his brother Groucho from the old movie Duck Soup.
