"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, 1989
"Be proud, Lucy, of your legacy . . .The sun never
sets on Lucille Ball. All over this worried world
tonight, nations of untold millions are watching
reruns they also watched the first time around.
Joy requires no translation. God wanted the world to laugh,
and He invented you. Many are called, but you were
chosen. Clown you are not. All of the funny hats, the
baggy pants, the mustaches and the wigs, and the pratfalls
and the balcked-out-teeth--they didn't fool us for one minute.
We saw through all the disguises, and what we found inside
is more than we deserve."
--Sammy Davis, Jr. 1984 (to Lucille Ball)
"There's no dream she wouldn't reach for, -
and no fall she wouldn't take." --Walter Matthau, at the
Kennedy Center induction explains the
essence of Lucille Ball and the
universal appeal of Lucy Ricardo
