[QUOTE="Chris2, post: 309626, member: 495"] Some people aren’t meant to be doing the same job that they once excelled at well into their 70s. I believe Lucille Ball was in this category. She lost her timing, she lost her ability memorize lines (she’s always reading off cue cards in Here’s Lucy), and she lost most of the inflection in her voice. The last decent role she had, to me, was in Yours, Mine, and Ours. She’s warm and appealing in that movie, and she looks good. Everything I saw her in after that was kind of sad. [/QUOTE]
