What you see below is the text of an interview I did with Laura Wagner of Classic Images, a wonderful newspaper that is a treasure for anyone interested in classic Hollywood and television. This interview ran on its Web site in May-June 2008. Keep in mind these screen caps were taken from my Mac desktop...so that link at the beginning won't work, for example (and for once, I ain't resposible for any typos — they can't be changed, anyway). Laura, by the way, is also an author and if you love Lucy, you'll love her book, Killer Tomatoes: Fifteen Tough Film Dames, which features our favorite flaming redhead. Enjoy!

Take me home, please.
