Lucille Ball is so gorgeous.

Riley Gaines comes to mind. She's in the midst of her struggle, but I'm so impressed with her every time I see her, especially in that we're living in an absolutely wacko time in history and in that she has braved physical peril to continue fighting against men taking over women's sports. I know this isn't the direction she had planned for her life, but she took up that mantle and continues to fight.


Edit: The poll didn't show up for me until after I posted my reply. My computer is doing funky things today.  9999hair out0000

   Riley Gaines added because she is fighting with those that pretend to have Balls AND the wonderful suggestion from @AllThatJazzZ

   Lucille Ball produced Star Trek at Desi-Lu Studios after all the major Studios turned it down.

In 1953, it was revealed that Ball had registered to vote as a member of the Communist Party on a voter registration application from 1936

Another fun fact. Desi Arnez was a Republican.

A Republican, he was one of many conservatives actors in Hollywood who lent support to the elections of Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan.

I have heard that she did renounce her communist party registration later in life

I suppose the time she was registered was in the 1930s. A lot of American journalist and labor leaders thought that communism was the bees knees, and Stalin was the man at that time

They even lied and covered up Stalin’s cruelty because they so believed in him and what he was doing and attacked anyone and tried to discredit those telling the truth about the Stalin regime

Part of who we are. When we believe in somebody or something so much, we become defensive and protective if uncomfortable facts about that person or cause are presented

Lucille Ball was a business visionary who changed the business of television by realizing there would be increased future value of her show if episodes were recorded on tape, so repeats could be syndicated for future revenue.

Lucille Ball monitized future value for television shows by creating syndicated re-runs.

Earhart crashed a lost plane with a male co-pilot.

I’m surprised the stoner option isn’t leading
