Lucille Ball has a moment.

And a pretty wonderful one at that.

Lucille Ball

“Dance, Girl, Dance “

Remembering Debbie Reynolds (1932-2016) on what would have been her 91st birthday. In late 1969 through early 1970 Debbie Reynolds starred in 'The Debbie Reynolds Show'. The show lasted only one season. During the shows' run, a tabloid manufactured "feud" between Lucy and Debbie also made it's run. Fueled mostly by reviews calling Debbie's new show "a pale imitation of I Love Lucy" or more personal criticisms like, "a second rate Lucille Ball", Debbie was hurt by the insinuation that she had ripped Lucy off. What reviewers and tabloids failed to report was that the primary reason for the similarities between 'I Love Lucy' and 'The Debbie Reynolds Show' was that the show was created and produced by Jess Oppenheimer with writing contributions from Madelyn Pugh Davis and Bob Carroll, Jr.. But yet, Debbie bore the brunt of the blame. One entertainment news article from that period seemed to come to Debbie's defense, but still omitted the obvious: 'The last thing Debbie Reynolds expected from the critics when she started her new Fall TV show was that they would say it was a pale imitation of early Lucille Ball! The truth is...if there is a similarity between the two actresses it is because they both have a lot of the same sense of fun, the ridiculous, the zaniness. The plots in Debbie's show were about a married couple with two adult friends and that in itself would make for familiar situations in many of the old Lucy and Desi shows. Since when has anyone on TV not set out to copy a successful show!' —article, 1969. #lucilleball #debbiereynolds #tabloids #fued #imitation #critics #reviews #happybirthday #ilovelucy #desiarnaz #classichollywoodactress #classichollywood #similarities #copycat #waynelvslcy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqf2NfPu7OR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SIX FAN ARTS SERIES PRESENTS -- DIVAS & FICTIONAL CHARACTERS.

NOTE: Posted all of these individually these past few months, but the Grace Jones mashup piece was damn near impossible to find, and I never did manage to locate it.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1000x1245 -- Spotlight on the complete Six Fan Arts Series "Divas & Fictional Characters" by Russian pin-up artist Sveta Shubina, c. 2021 -- which one's your favorite?

Anyway, if I had to pick a top three, and in numerical order, they'd be: "Brigitte Spellman," "Bettie White," and "Lucille Flintstone."

Jumping in this #FaceYourArt @instagram challenge with some of the portraits I’ve been creating lately. I’m quite happy with the range of characters I’ve created, from tv stars to pop music icons, Broadway stars and trailblazing old Hollywood legends.

Portrait Artist, Muralist and Scenic Artist Jaroslav ‘Jerry’ Gebr 1926 - 2013 Gebr was head of the Scenic Arts Department at Universal Studios. His paintings appeared in many films and television shows such as My Fair Lady, Camelot and The Sound Of Music, Psycho, The Sting, The Towering Inferno, Fantastic Voyage, Columbo, Murder She Wrote, and of course Here’s Lucy. In Season 6, Episode 1 “ Lucy and Danny Thomas” Lucy schemes with a starving artist to fake his death, hoping his paintings will begin to sell, until the artist wants to paint Lucy herself – nude! The painting of Lucy is now at the Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center in Jamestown, New York.

Another stop that Lucy made on her Jamestown trip on February 6, 1956 was at Bigelow’s Department Store, a place she hung out at frequently during her youth. Writers incorporated the 'Bigelow's' name into many Lucy scripts for her series as a place for the Lucy character to shop. The store is no longer in existence, but I was able to find a trace of it on what was once part of the original building in an alley. While there, '...the couple was whisked away to Bigelow's store where another capacity crowd awaited them. Lucille accepted a pair of Siamese kittens from Fred Bigelow and promptly gave them back again. She had heard that the store manager was already fond of the kittens.'—Jamestown Post Journal, February 7, 1956. #lucilleball #desiarnaz #ilovelucy #departmentstore #siamesekittens #gift #regift #storemanager #hangouts #jamestownny #scripts #waynelvslcy #bigelows https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVckT_PtXx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
