Happy Birthday, Lucy!

Just a little post to honor Lucy on what would have been her 100th birthday! I grew up watching re-runs of the show (probably an early influence on my current love of vintage) that they have on the channels featuring all those old shows. They just don't make shows like the used to. From Lucy to Dick Van Dyke, they managed to make shows so hilarious without have to be over the the top racy or full of language.

Lucy was such a strong woman, and so talented and funny. She had such an interesting life, I encourage you to read a biography on her, or see the public television documentary done on her and Desi Arnez. So sad that they couldn't work things out. But anyway, I hope that you have a good laugh today and watch an I Love Lucy episode, always a classic!

If you know anything about Lucy, than you'll already know that she started out as a blonde, not with her classic red hair. She looks so different, doesn't she? I often don't think of her as being one of the Hollywood beauties from that age, but she really was.

Happy Birthday, Lucy! Thank you for all of the years of laughter you brought us!

    Such a wonderful look back at Lucy's life and career. I was torn come August 6th between writing a post about her birthday and DH's, but in the end Tony won out. Perhaps next year I'll cover Lucy :)


    Tons of hugs & blissful weekend wishes,
    Jessica

    it is so strange to me how often people think she was a natural redhead and she wasn't at all. She dyed her hair all those years. I love her though. she was so hilarious.

    Wow, she looks so unbelievably different in that first photo! I had no idea she was such a knock out of a blonde bombshell. Great tribute!
