Thoughts, links, and project updates

I just got through watching “Lucy and Desi” It was a documentary about the couple and the media empire they started together. I had no idea how dignity they really were in Hollywood. If course, I’ve heard of “The Lucy Ball Show” but I just always thought of it as just an old show from the 50’s…. and never gave it much thought. I also didn’t realize that Lucy and Desi were divoy after being married 20 years and had their own studio…. Where several shows were filmed.. Their daughter said they were married to their second spouses longer than they were married to each other. They had two children, who gave interviews. They played tapes that Lucy had recorded a journal of sorts on…. I thought that was pretty neat. Lucille Ball was born in 1911 and died in 1989. Desi was born in 1917 and died in 1986. What a story!

Joan Collins is in her 90s and still working. What an inspiration. She’s made two recent movies, “A Murder Between Friends” and “My Dutchess”. The latter being about Wallis Simpson..

A couple of months ago I stumbled onto a reality TV show that Latoya Jackson did. I watched an episode where she  moved into a hotel while she looked for a house to buy. She was also exploring getting back on the dating scene… She had not been on a date since 1996, 14 years when this aired in 2010.

She’s such a neat person. You can watch episodes on YouTube, I’m not sure how many there are though.
