Who Gets To Play The 'Yessss' Guy?

Here's the big show-biz news: Cate Blanchett as Lucille Ball in a biopic possibly written by Aaron Sorkin. It won't be TOO dark, since Lucy and Desi's kids are producing, but it focuses on the years they were married, which means... well, you know what it means, infidelity and stress off the air while maintaining the America's Sweethearts image in public. We know all of that. Do we want to SEE it? Here's the thing: We can remember the Vitameatavegamin and the candy factory and the Maharincess of Franistan and the John Wayne cement footprints and all the laughs and just not think about Desi's affairs and Lucy's hardened demeanor and Bill Frawley falling down drunk and Vivian Vance resenting having to stay overweight and frowsy. I'd rather just enjoy the comedy and forget the stuff I know about and don't WANT to know about. (Variety)
