[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 386639, member: 5079"] I think Lucille Ball has been portrayed four times on screen; not counting various parodies of Lucy Ricardo (Gilda Radner; Jane Curtin; Debra Messing; etc.) Gypsi DeYoung in THE SCARLETT O'HARA WAR (1980) [ATTACH type="full" width="408px" alt="1705862977696.png"]50706[/ATTACH] (Lucy wasn't yet a redhead circa the late '30s) Frances Fisher in BEFORE THE LAUGHTER (1991) [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705863179543.png"]50707[/ATTACH] Rachel York in LUCY (2003) [ATTACH type="full"]50710[/ATTACH] Nicole Kidman in BEING THE RICARDOS (2021) [ATTACH type="full" alt="1705863274690.png"]50709[/ATTACH] Every one of these portrayals miss the obvious: [B]Lucille was gorgeous[/B]. The only one that comes close is Kidman, but Botox ruins the effect. The rest look like Carol Burnett in Lucy Ricardo drag. [ATTACH type="full" width="416px"]50711[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
