an-unconventional-lady:Lucille Désirée Ball ♥(August 6, 1911 - April 26, 1989)“I’m a Leo. I was born on a Sunday, August 6, 1911. Unfortunately, everybody knows my birth date because I told the truth when I first came Hollywood. I’m known among comediennes as a stunt girl who will do anything. Red Skelton flatters me by saying I have the courage of a tiger. I don’t think it’s a matter of bravery; it’s just doing what comes naturally. I do know that if an actress has the slightest aversion to pie in the face or pratfalls, the camera will pick it up instantly. The audience won’t laugh; they’ll suffer in sympathy. Perhaps my willingness to be knocked off a twenty-foot pedestal or shot down a steamship funnel goes back to my earliest, happiest days with father. I knew he was going to catch me; I wasn’t going to get hurt.” -- source link
