Another sense of irony is that Lucille Ball's performances in "Wildcat" permanently ruined her voice because she didn't use proper voicing techniques. Stage performers have to use them to avoid damage to the vocal cords. Per KZbin hearsay, heavy smoking and the high pitch voice she used for the Lucy Ricardo character also deteriorated Ball's voice.

Actually I really liked Lucille in the movie "Mame"- complaints about her age saying the soft lens helped her (so what) I didn't notice it. Also her dancing was great (remember she had a serious accident where her leg was broken in 4 places the year before); finally, her voice was panned - again did not bother me a bit - reminded me of the "talk singing"that Rex Harrison did in My Fair Lady. I loved Rosalind Russell in the movie "Auntie Mame"(non musical) earlier. She was great in that part; but I loved Lucille Ball in the musical version of Mame. People talk about her cult following that finally made this movie capture more positive attention later on. I first saw I Love Lucy in 1951 when I was 6; now at 77 I can still watch all the episodes again, which I have done during these tough political times and during Covid19. I can name at least 10 of her movies that I have watched more than once, (a lot more). Yes I am a fan but she really is an incredible performer in whatever she is in - movies, tv, radio. Should have had 3 stars on Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I agree with you but for whatever reason Lucy couldn't pull off doing 8 shows a week in "Wildcat." Right before this was filmed the show had been closed for a week so that Lucy could rest. It had been open for say a month and a half. Later at some point during the run she would collapse on stage in the middle of a performance from exhaustion. So I don't think there's any way at that point that she would step into such a high-profile role as Dolly. Besides by the time Dolly was up and running she was on her second very successful TV series. Although original Dolly Carole Channing did make a guest appearance on episode.
@LJ-ht4zsАй бұрын
@@chocolatesouljah this show followed the I Love Lucy and Lucy-Desi Comedy Comedy and her divorce from Desi immediately after. I think she was exhausted physically and emotionally but took on the Broadway play Wildcat to revive - but she was exhausted. If she had taken off a few months and relaxed - she would have been physically healthier. But I would have gladly bought a ticket to see this play. I loved Lucy in 1951 and still do now in 2024.

Lucy Ricardo was not her natural voice - the role called her to have a higher voice. In fact, during the run of the show, Desi recommended that she not give any interviews because her voice was so much lower and her essence was much more serious. Desi said best not to break character since she was such a beloved figure in I Love Lucy.

I think Lucy smoked before she was a showgirl. Reminds me of my father, who went to a top high school in NYC 12-15 graduating in 3 years. Also at that age, he worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard - took up smoking at age 12. (He was a big kid and looked older). When he graduated at age 15 went to work in Bell Labs. Lucy was born in 1911 my Dad in 1919 - those were hard times when you did not have money. My Dad's father was a wounded WWI vet. Dad had to help support his family by age 12. Lucy went to NYC at age 15 - and when she finally got a job as a model - she sent home money to help support her family. In Hollywood when she bought a house, she sent for her mother, mgf, her younger brother, and cousin Cleo. Financially support all, til Fred had Cleo were old enough to support themselves; but supported mgf and mother till they died. I really admire people like my Dad and Lucy who put it all out there and much was expected of them and they delivered. 🥰
