专业书评 From Publishers Weekly
Before Lucille Ball became the first lady of television in 1951, she had made 75 motion pictures in 18 years. She traded her moniker of RKO's Queen of the Bs for TV's Queen of Comedy. Between 1954 and 1985, she made just eight more films. This overview of Ball's film career highlights each movie with its cast and credits; a lengthy synopsis; and behind-the-scenes notes about the production and its critical reception. Visually stunning and beautifully designed, this book is printed on thick, glossy paper and boasts large, crisp (and seldom seen) photos from each film. Some of De La Hoz's backstories are fascinating (Frank Sinatra originally wanted her to play his mother in The Manchurian Candidate before Angela Lansbury was cast; Ball outsmarted Columbia chief Harry Cohen by agreeing to star in 1951's The Magic Carpet: she kept her pregnancy a secret, pocketed $85,000 for one week's work and fulfilled her contract). While Ball excelled in comedies (The Facts of Life; Fancy Pants; The Long, Long Trailer; Yours, Mine and Ours), this book may point fans toward Ball's excellent but atypical work in such dramas as The Dark Corner; Lured; and Five Came Back.

Mom's Little Secret
The ceremony was arranged, the rehearsal festivities had gone well, and Kate's dad was staying up late, as usual. He sat in his favorite chair on the deck, looking up toward the stars but not seeing any of them. It had been a long day, and the anticipation of Kate's wedding was playing in his mind like a film from long ago. As he was enjoying the moment, the door opened, interrupting his reverie.
It was Kate -- an unexpected but pleasant interruption.
"What's up, kid?" he asked.
"Can I sit here for just a bit?" she asked, ignoring his question.
"Of course," Dad responded, making room. "This reminds me of when you were a little girl and you'd come out here when you couldn't sleep. You know, everything will be different after tomorrow, and that's the way it should be. I couldn't be happier for you and David."
For a bit, they reviewed the day, laughing over the hilarious family video they'd watched at the rehearsal dinner. They also shed a tear or two as both realized this would be their last night together as "Dad and his little girl." Their relationship was about to change in some indescribable, unexperienced way.
After a period of silence, Kate asked, "Dad, what's your secret? You and Mom have always been so much in love. Please tell me."
"Kate," her Dad confessed, "it's not my secret -- it's your mom's. From the day we met, she has made it her life's goal to bring out the best in me."
"What do you mean?" Kate asked.
"When we began dating, she introduced me as the last of the grand gentlemen. Your mom made it easy for me to be a grand gentleman to her. I courted her as if she were a queen; all I desired was to win her heart. After we married, she bragged to her friends that I was the best l
