My Icon!!!

You know what is just crazy in my opinion?  There is not enough honest material on one of the best comedians that ever lived.  Yes, I’m referring to the first lady of television, Lucille Ball.  I grew up watching the famed and popular, “I Love Lucy” along with watching a few films that she was in co-starring Desi Arnaz, but I guess the truth is just haunting about her.  I mean, can’t there be anything good about her?  According to the facts, she was a very depressed individual.  When the divorce was final between her and Desi, things just got worse for her.  She became rude and demanding when trying to make “The Lucy Show.”

 

I find it really sad.  It’s a shame that someone as beautiful and talented as Desi Arnaz (who played Ricky in the show) was a womanizer and an alcoholic, especially after Lucy would not agree to “I Love Lucy” without him as her husband.  I find it said things fell apart for them because I know that she would be more revered today if everything wasn’t so “personal” and “hush-hush.”  I mean, she was a great businesswoman, but look at how her daughter turned out.   After hearing her, I must confess that she is one of the worst singers I have ever heard and she makes a living defaming her mother that basically gave her such a comfortable and padded life.  I find that sad, disgusting and just disheartening.  The family is torn, the memorabilia is just not out there.  The facts aren’t out there as they should be for someone who brought so much happiness to hundreds of thousands of people, it’s just treated like, “Oh, that was someone that made me laugh,” and that’s it.  I mean, that’s my take.  Maybe you disagree, but to be honest, I can’t seem to understand why this has to happen where “times change,” or whatever.  Well, in my view, anyway. 

The thing is that she still makes me laugh and I will forever cherish and treasure such an icon as she was before her death in 1989.  She was a beautiful, talented woman who was quick witted and knew what she wanted and how to get it.  Classics never die and she will always be enjoyed by me!  I Love Lucy!!!!!!!!
