Ability is of little account without opportunity. – Lucille Ball
How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we’d profit from them. – Lucille Ball
I am a real ham. I love an audience. I work better with an audience. I am dead, in fact, without one. – Lucille Ball
I’m not funny. What I am is brave. – Lucille Ball
(About meeting Desi Arnaz for the first time.) It wasn’t love at first sight. It took a full five minutes. – Lucille Ball
I’m sometimes scared of everything that has happened to us. We didn’t think Desilu Productions would grow so big. We merely wanted to be together and have two children. – Lucille Ball
You spell Bob Hope C-L-A-S-S. – Lucille Ball
If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do. – Lucille Ball
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age. – Lucille Ball
A man who correctly guesses a woman’s age may be smart, but he’s not very bright. – Lucille Ball
In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by. – Lucille Ball
In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by. – Lucille Ball
It’s a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy. – Lucille Ball
Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world. – Lucille Ball
Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don’t rush; otherwise you’ll look like a patchwork quilt. – Lucille Ball
Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work – and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t. – Lucille Ball
(About Audrey Hepburn) She’s a tomboy and a fine comedienne. You’d never think of her being able to do my type of comedy. But she can. She has great energy, frail as she looks. But, well, she’s so beautiful, so ethereal, it would be sacrilege to put her through it. – Lucille Ball
Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead. – Lucille Ball
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’ t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself. – Lucille Ball
The more things you do, the more you can do. -Lucille Ball
I hate failure and that divorce was a Number One failure in my eyes. It was the worst period of my life. Neither Desi nor I have been the same since, physically or mentally. – Lucille Ball
I regret the passing of the studio system. I was very appreciative of it because I had no talent. – Lucille Ball
Women’s Lib? Oh, I’m afraid it doesn’t interest me one bit. I’ve been so liberated it hurts. – Lucille Ball
I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can. – Lucille Ball
I will never do another TV series. It couldn’t top I Love Lucy, and I’d be foolish to try. In this business, you have to know when to get off. – Lucille Ball
I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done. – Lucille Ball
You see much more of your children once they leave home. – Lucille Ball
I’m happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways. – Lucille Ball

Even those of us who work from home have hectic days and aren’t altogether unfamiliar with stressful moments. As someone who works online, entirely from the comfort of her home, I’m very thankful to have the opportunity to do so. However, I’m always shocked when people think I’m a stranger to stress simply because my work is within my home rather than outside of it. Oh, well, nature of the beast I suppose.
This morning was, shall we say, one of those mornings, so at lunchtime, I escaped with an episode of I Love Lucy from my dvd collection. That Lucy – she’s a day saver. It put me in the mood for an I Love Lucy post on Hollywood Yesterday, so here we go.
I rounded up some really cute (extra cute) I Love Lucy merchandise. If you collect Lucy items like I do, you’re really going to love these.
If that last I Love Lucy mug isn’t in my kitchen within two weeks, I’m going to be completely and utterly destroyed. Memo to my family: You’ve been put on notice.
The following scene’s from the episode of The Golden Girls titled A Little Romance. The episode first aired on December 14, 1985. Wow, has it really been that long?!?!
In this episode, Rose is dating a Psychiatrist, Dr. Jonathan Newman. She has kept him a secret from Dorothy, Blanche, and Sophia because the good doctor (played to hilarious perfection by Brent Collins) is a “little person” and she doesn’t know how they’ll react. The great Billy Barty (My Three Sons, Get Smart, The Waltons, 1978 The Lord of the Rings…) makes a memorable cameo in the episode.
In the scene below, Dorothy and Blanche are in the living room grilling Rose about her date when Sophia comes in… as Sophia usually does, at just the right time.
Dorothy: So, um, where are you going? Rose: Out with a friend from work. Blanche: Is it the same friend you’ve been out with 5 times in the last 3 weeks: Rose: Yes. Blanche: Alright, spill it. Who is he? Rose: His name is Dr. Jonathan Newman. He’s a psychiatrist at the Grief Center. Blanche: Soooo, you’re seing a psychiatrist?!?! Sophia: (entering the room) It’s about time.
For the first time in 33 years, Mary Tyler Moore and Betty White will appear onscreen together. As a longtime fan of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, I’m over the moon.
TV Land has announced that beloved and acclaimed Emmy® award-winning actress and Oscar nominee Mary Tyler Moore (“The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Dick Van Dyke Show”) will guest star on the second season premiere of TV Land’s hit sitcom “Hot in Cleveland” on Wednesday, January 19th at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Moore will join the sensational veteran cast of Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick and Betty White. “Hot In Cleveland” is written by Emmy® Award-winning Suzanne Martin (“Frasier,” “Ellen”) and produced by Emmy® Award-winner Sean Hayes (“Will & Grace”) and Todd Milliner of Hazy Mills Productions. The premiere episode will be taped at CBS Radford, the same studio where “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” was taped over three decades ago.
Moore’s guest appearance will be the first time in 33 years that she and Betty White have acted on screen together since the groundbreaking hit “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” went off the air. Moore’s role in the sitcom will involve White’s character Elka, who in the season one cliffhanger, was arrested.
About Mary Tyler Moore:
Seven-time Emmy® Award winner Mary Tyler Moore holds a special place in people’s hearts as a symbol of female independence and strength, both in her work and personal life.
Her first taste of success came as Laura Petrie on “The Dick Van Dyke Show” from 1961-66. During the 1970s, she starred in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” which garnered twenty-nine Emmys® during its seven-year run, including four for its star.
Moore then transferred her talents to films including Ordinary People for which she earned an Academy Award® nomination, and Six Weeks, for which she had the joy of co-starring with Dudley Moore. The highly acclaimed comedy Flirting With Disaster won positive reviews for the film and its stars.
She made her dramatic debut on Broadway in Whose Life Is It Anyway? in which she portrayed a hospitalized quadriplegic fighting for control of her own destiny and was honored with a Tony Award. In 1988, she played Mary Todd Lincoln in the NBC mini-series Gore Vidal’s “Lincoln,” again earning critical praise and an Emmy® nomination. Many television movies followed including Stolen Babies for which she won a seventh Emmy® Award.
In portraying the murderous Sante Kimes in the CBS movie “Like Mother, Like Son,”she once again reminded the audience of her vast range. The movie aired in the spring of 2001 and ranked number seven of all primetime programs the week of its broadcast.
In 2004, she starred with Dick Van Dyke in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “The Gin Game,” on PBS, and for CBS television, an adaptation of the Anna Quindlen book “Blessings” in which she played the 82-year-old matriarch. In 2006, Moore starred in the CBS made for television movie, “Snow Wonder,” and also appeared in a guest-starring role on FOX’s “That 70s Show.”
Moore was seen as a guest-star on NBC’s “Lipstick Jungle” in 2008. In a multi-episode arc on the series, Moore played Joyce, a retired high-powered exec who forces Wendy, her studio-head daughter (played by Brooke Shields), to re-evaluate the work vs. family dilemma. Having blazed a trail for working women back in the 70′s and 80′s, Joyce challenges Wendy’s idealistic notion of “having it all,” leaving her overachieving daughter in a tailspin.
She was last seen in Peter Calahan’s dark comedy Against The Current opposite Joseph Fiennes and Justin Kirk. The film premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
In 2009, Moore’s book “Growing Up Again” was published by St. Martin’s Press. The book is an in-depth look into Mary’s life with diabetes. The book includes conversations with remarkable people who live with the disease and those who work on the frontiers of medical research. All of Miss Moore’s profits for the book were donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Moore is the International Chairman of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). She was honored in 2007 with the JDRF Humanitarian of the Year Award. She is also active in numerous animal welfare organizations and funds scholarship programs in the arts and academics.
Filmed in front of a live studio audience, “Hot in Cleveland” is executive produced by Emmy Award-winner Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner of Hazy Mills Productions and is helmed by Emmy® Award-winning Suzanne Martin (“Frasier,” “Ellen”) serving as executive producer, show runner and writer.
“Hot in Cleveland” revolves around three fabulous best friends from LA – novelist Melanie Moretti (Valerie Bertinelli), eye-brow archer to the stars Joy Scroggs (Jane Leeves) and former soap star Victoria Chase (Wendie Malick) – who find their lives changed forever when their plane, headed for Paris, makes an unexpected landing. When the friends discover that life is better for them and that they are hot in Cleveland, they decide to stay. Starting over together, they rent a house that happens to come with a very opinionated caretaker (Betty White).
Mark your calendar, buy the popcorn, put the Diet Dr. Pepper on ice, and kiss your troubles good-bye!
I would ask, “Do you love Betty White?” but that seems like a pretty lame question. It’d be like asking a 5 year old, “Do you love Santa Claus?” Everyone (me included) adores Betty White. If you think about it, she’s one of the rare celebrities that seems to resonate with everyone. The fact that she doesn’t have enemies or “haters” is a testament to the comedic legend.
It’s just further proof that she’s a very special person and quite the American jewel.
Her late husband, Allen Ludden, once remarked that White had been one of the pioneers in silent television. That is just barely an exaggeration, because she got her start in Hollywood on Television in 1949 and has not been off the tube for any length of time for the past 46 years. Best known for her roles as Sue Ann on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and as the terminally naive Rose on The Golden Girls, she has had four Betty White Shows, starting in 1950, as well as a show close to her animal-lover’s heart, The Pet Set. She also played minor, recurring characters on The Carol Burnett Show and its spin-off, Mama’s Family, and announced the Rose Bowl parade for 20 years. Additionally, she was a frequent guest of Jack Paar and Johnny Carson and appeared on innumerable game shows. She knows everyone in the business, although her affection for them one and all, while perhaps real, cloys after a time. This behind-the-scenes look at television since the late 1940s, with its dozens of photos, should delight fans.

From Library Journal
White’s portrayals have always seemed good-natured, whether she was playing Sue-Ann Nivins on The Mary Tyler Moore Show or Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls. In her entertaining and insightful autobiography, she comes off as upbeat and good-natured in real life. White started out in early television on a five-hour-a-day live show called Hollywood on Television and has had “steady” work ever since. Here she chronicles her experiences on many hit series and several short-lived series, plus her two marriages. She writes with particular care and poignancy about her second marriage to Allen Ludden, which lasted a blissful 18 years until Ludden’s tragic and untimely death. White’s love of friends, family, work, and animals comes shining through these pages, as does her high-energy pleasant personality. This Hollywood autobiography can be highly recommended for all public libraries. -?Judy Hauser, Oakland Schs., Lib. Svces., Waterford, Mich.
