Happy 100th birthday, Lucy!
Aug. 6th, 2011 02:18 pmGoogle has a really cool tribute up. Go check it out! (There are six clips total; you have to keep refreshing to see them all. ETA: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sylverwind tells me you can also do it by turning the little knob.)
Hallmark Channel is airing the Hollywood episodes of I Love Lucy right now, which inspired a thought: Lucy -- at least as portrayed on the show -- was the ultimate fangirl. It isn't a modern phenomenon at all! We may think we're obsessed because we write fanfic and create fanart and make tribute videos. But getting into a staring contest with William Holden, or trying to sneak a grapefruit out of Richard Widmark's yard, or stealing John Wayne's footprints? You don't generally get that sort of thing now.
That I know of. :-)
