My grandmother was probably the first person who I thought was beautiful. She was incredibly stylish, she had big hair, big cars. I was probably 3 years old, but she was like a cartoon character.

The first thing I think of when I hear the name of Lucille Ball is a Hollywood legend. I have fond memories of growing up at her house, but she was a different person off the set than she was on the set.

My grandmother was probably the first person who I thought was beautiful. She was incredibly stylish, she had big hair, big cars. I was probably 3 years old, but she was like a cartoon character. She'd swoop into our lives with presents and boxes, and she always smelled great and looked great.

I loved Lucille Ball growing up.

I didn't have any confidence in my beauty when I was young. I felt like a character actress, and I still do.

When I was growing up watching Marilyn Monroe, I learned that you can be very beautiful, very glamorous and very vulnerable and not give up your soul just because you were a movie star.

Growing up, I remember watching TV, and I didn't see a lot of people who looked like me, especially someone who passed as a glamorous model on a mainstream TV show.

Even my aunt Joan, hopelessly sentimental about every member of our family, admitted that I was hideous.

Lucille was a darling lady. Probably the finest comedienne in the business.

I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.
