August 6th would be Lucille Ball's 100th Birthday, but unfortunately she passed away in 1989. For an over-the-top writer like me, Lucy's always been a real inspiration.
Lucy inspired legions of folks, including other celebrities.
“God wanted the world to laugh and He invented you.”
— Sammy Davis Jr., speaking to Lucille Ball at a 1984 tribute in her honor
I've described my writing style as similar to "I Love Lucy" except that the hero is Lucy and the heroine is Desi.
Happy Birthday, Lucy. I bet you're just making 'em laugh on a bigger stage now.
