Opinion on Lucille Ball

"I fail to find any other Hollywood actress as diligent and as passionate about the career of acting as Lucille Ball. I admire her drive and determination, and I only wish that I have half as of these qualities as she had. Most admirable of all, she was never full of herself. She downplayed her talents, saying that she could neither sing nor dance, and she wasn't even pretty. While rehearsing for The Big Street, her dance teacher was astounded by her natural flair and grace, and she indeed had so much potential to be a great dancer. I concur she couldn't sing as well as Ella Fitzgerald or Vera Lynn, but she could carry a tune properly. And with regards to her physical beauty, there is no doubt about it."

Remember

"Lucy has always considered herself a serious actress. No matter what role she was assigned to, she would pour in her heart and soul into being the perfect character. In The Big Street, for instance, Lucy played a heartless singer, Gloria, who became crippled when her boyfriend pushed her down a flight of stairs due to jealousy. I would give her acting full stars! She was so convincing as a bitchy woman, one would find watching movie weird because Gloria was so different from Lucy Ricardo."

Opinion on Lucille Ball

"Before Lucille Ball, there was never another beautiful woman who could act in comedy. In my opinion, she was the first and the last comedic actress of that scale."

Opinion on Lucille Ball

"Many people have a penchant to think of Lucille Ball as being a comedic actress. She became insanely famous after I Love Lucy, and remained so in The Lucy Show and Life with Lucy. She has been associated with being the screwball redhead some time before jumping into television, where she already showed comedic talents with movies such as The Next Time I Marry, Du Barry was a Lady, Fancy Pants, etc."
