Between the hair, the marabou and the jewelry, one wonders if there was any room on the set for actual furniture?

Miss Peggy Lee




Diamonds, furs, falls, and a Vaseline-covered lens are a girl's best friend.

We'd Like to Propose a Toast


"She was drunk. She showed up at ten o'clock in the morning for the first read-through, and she was bombed. She was drinking straight vodka from this silver flask, and she was drinking it in front of the kids. She was saying all the words, but it was like she was a robot. About lunchtime, Joan passed out cold, and that did it. As soon as she woke up, I fired her." - Lucille Ball on Joan Crawford
