Lucille Ball, from I Love Lucy, was tossed out of drama school in New York when she was only 15 years old.The reason? Her instructors claimed that the future madcap comedienne was too quiet and shy.
I don't know if you know this...but I really do love Lucy. "I Love Lucy" remains my favorite show of all time, and I still cry from laughter when I watch some of those shows. Part of the reason I love Lucille Ball is that in many ways she was very shy, but learned to compensate with humor. Not that I can relate or anything. ;)
Boy, her Teacher didn't know her very well did they? I love me some Lucille Ball. I know I am probably in the minority but I did love her in Auntie Flame, I mean Auntie Mame!
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.
