This could have been an amazing collaboration. Ernie Kovaks was a tv comedy pioneer, as was Buster. They shot the pilot for The Medicine Man in 1962. Immediately afterwards Kovaks was killed in a car crash and the pilot was never aired. It would have been preferable if they hadn’t been doing something with a standard sit-com format but Kovaks was broke and needed to pay off the IRS. I don’t know what Buster’s excuse was. I think he just liked being around Ernie. What wonderful, surreal stuff they could have conjoured up together. Almost make’s me tear up a ‘lil bit.

HATS! ~ Part 1

The Headwear of “I Love Lucy”

During the 1950′s hats were a standard wardrobe item for men and women. They combined form, function, and fashion. Here’s a look at some of the amazing hats that graced the heads of “I Love Lucy.”

Right from the start, Lucille Ball made hats comedy by wearing a lampshade on her head to transform herself into a Ziegfeld Girl. The same moment was later recreated on the series itself.

For Lucy, nothing was worth than shopping with no money to spend! Mrs. Mumford wasn’t shy about tempting Lucy into buying a new hat.

Lucy went to great lengths to conceal the price tag of her new hats from budget-conscious Ricky! Gulp!

When Lucy noticed Ricky wearing his hat to breakfast (to hide his receding hairline), she fought topper with topper!

LUCY: “It’s like having breakfast in a beanery!”

A good hat could be used time and again! This jacket was seen with and without its fur collar - from New York, to London, to Paris - fashion capitols of the world!
