I saw photos of her outside the comedy role back when I was a kid so I was aware of her real self somewhat. I used to wonder why she chose comedy instead.

Back in the early sixties was when I wondered that but later learned that she was gifted with timing and ideas. She was as funny as she was beautiful. It just took me a while to figure that out.

she maintained that her one true love was Desi, even though he was a serial philanderer.

Ms. Ball was an amazing and talented woman. Still miss her.
