Lucy's Advice To Marie Osmond

"You know what Lucille Ball told me?" says Marie, who's dressed in a black lace flounced skirt and high-heeled boots, her shoulder-length dark hair backcombed, the distinctive beauty mark by her left eye punctuated by the flash of dangling earrings.

"I was about 16, and she said: 'Honey, you want to go far in this business? Know your lighting. The camera is forgiving to men, but not to women.'"

Lucy M.I.A. From Best of Donny & Marie DVD

DizzyArnizzy (Josh) writes:

Well, I have some disappointing/unfortunate news.

I received an early release copy of the "Donny & Marie" (Best of; Volume 1) DVD set today, and neither Lucy nor Desi are included on the set.

DizzyArnizzy also noted that Lucille Ball's name had been removed from the DVD's order page and that the set contains 3 DVDs instead of the 4 advertised. You can read DizzyArnizzy's full review (and see screencaps!) here:

GREAT news -- Lucy WILL be included on the DVD set (more info from site mentioned below)!! Desi is not mentioned, but he will probably be included on the set too, as he was included in the "preview" feature on the site earlier this year, and Paul Lynde, who appeared in the same episode as Desi, is mentioned...FANTASTIC news.
