It's the Western Highway Victoria. I'm returning home to Adelaide from Hobart Tasmania. I've pulled over to fill the gal up with juice. A small boy rushes over, his face beaming "Oh wow, what a car!" he enthuses, grinning broadly. Then, looking at the face painted on the rear he adds these innocent words..."Who is Lucy?" Well, this is for you and your age group kid;
Who is Lucille Ball? Only one of the best comic geniuses of all time...and all done without a single word of smut or profanity! It was also done in front of a live audience with NO 'canned' laughter.

Lucy with Harpo Marx - brillaint!
In the Fifties getting messy like this (below x 3) was unheard of for a big star.
What a talent this woman was!
Not from 'I Love Lucy', next is a clip from Lucy's movie 'The Long Long Trailer'; the first three minutes or so show Lucy at her best.
The Long Long Trailer's theatrical preview.
Back to 'I Love Lucy' and honestly, could you see any modern TV star doing anything like this today?
Such fond childhood memories; but now it's time for bed.
