I am 65, from Bangalore, India. Our TV channel used to telecast Lucy Show back in the eighties. Television was new in India, and we had just one channel. But some iconic shows were brought home by this one government run channel. My mother used to love Lucy and she would finish all her chores in time to be able to watch The Lucy Show. She never spoke English. But she understood Lucy so well and throughly enjoyed it without any of us having to explain anything. Miss my mom and her favourite shows. Thank you for posting this.

I went to Lucille Ball's memorial mass at a Catholic Church in Beverly Hills, California, in 1989. Lucie Arnaz came in with Carol Burnett. They were in the pew right in front of me. Mary Wickes, the ballet instructor, was in the pew just across from me. I could tell she was a devout Catholic as she was saying the rosary. The priest said that a "parishioner" of the church and lifelong friend of Lucille Ball arranged the mass. I have no doubt that that parishioner and lifelong friend of Lucille Ball was Mary Wickes!

@earnold1896 3 ай бұрын

Catholicism is idolatory and ritual. No religions enter heaven as they are man made. People must repent of sin from the heart, commit to Jesus ONLY and His Word, and be walking the narrow road with Him daily in order to enter heaven as He tells. (They must be born again of the Spirit).

I don't think she's so much underrated as people don't know about her anymore. She was a highly successful actress with a lucrative career , but time marches on... What I can't understand is how someone fundamentally unentertaining (Kardashians) can be so famous? Surely humanity can't have changed so fundamentally in such a short time? Even 50 years ago, people appreciated talented performers exclusively. Still do to a point, but now many are entertained watching wealthy, spoilt, surgically augmented, beautiful women self obsess - & other pointless, shallow, uninspiring content. Wtf is going on? Edit: sorry for puking on you, it just crossed my brain.

@@hensonlaura And her physical comedy was a big part of that, and I think much underrated. There was an episode in "I Love Lucy" in which she disguised herself as an upholstered chair -- which meant she had to maintain a squatting position for several minutes, and maybe even move a bit that way. It was then that I realized her talent.

If i recall correctly, Lucille Ball started out as a dancer. AS is evident in this and several other episodes of I Love Lucy. I recall seeing her in several specials in which she did waltzes and some other dances. Very gracefully too. then she would suddenly break into a comedic version of the dance. THATS TALENT!

Another fact about Mary Wickes, the instructor here: she almost played Mary Poppins. That was when Poppins was not re-fashioned into the adorable nanny that Disney morphed her into. If you read the book, Mary Poppins is not sweet and is kinda scary. I saw Wickes’ photos from her test screening.
