Monday Matinee: Lucille Ball

I finally get to start my Monday Movie Matinee's again. Today we feature the lovely Lucille Ball. She's my favorite comedian. She was a feisty and strong woman which I always admire. She still makes me laugh to this day, and I have been lucky enough to share her talents with my children now who enjoy her as much as I always did. 

Lucille Ball was born August 6, 1911 in Jamestown New York. She was a TV, Radio, Film and Stage actress. She was the first woman to run a major television studio Desilu. Some of Lucille Ball's movies include Too many girls, Fancy Pants, The Long Long Trailer Forever Darlin and Yours, Mine and Ours. She even starred in five of Fred Astaire and Ginger Roger's films whom she was a distant cousin of Rogers.

I Love Lucy is one of my all time favorite shows. I still watch episodes that make me laugh over and over. Lucy also starred in her own shows The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy and the short lived Life with Lucy. Lucille Ball was amazing. A talent that will never be duplicated. Lucy was taken away from us far too soon. Known for her trademark red hair, Lucille will forever remain in our hearts and memories for generations to come. 
I wish their love story would have had a happier ending
Always thinking up their newest plan :-)

"I'm not funny, what I am is brave"~Lucille Ball

"The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age"~Lucille Ball

"In life, all good things come hard, but the wisdom is hardest to come by"~Lucille Ball

"One of the things I learned THE HARD WAY WAS THAT IT DOESN'T PAY TO GET DISCOURAGED. KEEPING BUSY AND MAKING OPTIMISM A WAY OF LIFE CAN RESTORE YOUR FAITH IN YOURSELF.~Lucille Ball
