[Leaning Right]

Two things I’ve read about Lucy.

One, she was a perfectionist. Everything had to be just right on the set. That’s a good thing.

And two, she was very gracious to her fans. There is a story of a college reporter who hesitantly knocked on Lucy’s front door one day, hoping to get a quote or two. Lucy invited the young woman in, and they had a long and pleasant talk over tea.

I also heard that Lucy was a terrible candy maker. But that just might be a rumor. 😄

She also brought home made soup to the late George Putnam when he was sick

Maybe she was technically OK at her job. She just needed to step up the pace a bit. 😄

Also, I’ve heard that Ball wrote into Vivian Vance’s contract that her weight had to be on the chunkier side so as not to upstage LB.
