The Late Great

A renowned red head,
Although the color is questionable.
She seems to always have antics…
To pull off on the silver screen.

Her hair isn’t the only thing…
That leaves a lasting impression.
She has those exquisite eyes…
And that stunning figure.

When I think of her and her exploits…
I’m reminded of my most notable experiences,
Especially those moments of chaos…
When I realize I’ve been so hysterically funny.

She is the one and only,
The great comedian of her age.
And I will say it one more time…
I love Lucy – she is truly great!

You have described her perfectly Regina. I love to watch her too. I met both her children Lucy and Desi Jr. on one of my flights. They were both very sweet and unassuming. Actors in their own right. I am sure this wonderful entry will do great! : )

That would be something else - to meet her children. She is definitely a favorite of mine and I've often compared myself to her with my own antics. Thank you so much for your kindness and I hope we get to know each other through our words here. God bless you always.

Lucy, with flaming hair that blows up her personality! And arm in arm with a passionate Cuban. Hollywood humor! A candy wrapper, wine stomper and cute as could be mother-to-be and a friend of the friendless, the original Thelma to Louise, etc... Thanks for the memory.

My sister-in-law and me used to have plenty of funny experiences in their own right and we often referred to Lucy and Ethel and also Thelma and Louise. Thanks for your sweet comments and I hope to see you often - writing and reading :) Many prayers and blessings.

I knew who she was with the opening line. Nice tribute to an hilarious lady.
