My Aunt Margie was one of several elevator operators in a department store in NYC (maybe Macy's, I don't remember) back in the early '30's. Lucille Ball was her coworker, multitasking as a model to make ends meet while auditioning for acting parts.My aunt told us that she was the most beautiful woman she'd ever seen in person. Funny, too.

I love Lucy is still best show ever. These show will never be match or touch. I love Lucille ball natural humor and style. I'm Californian and proud of Hollywood. Rest in peace Lucille ball you are miss so much.
