. . . as played by Diane J. Findlay, a right-on-target portrayal as to stance, posturing, mannerisms and as to the overall essence of the feisty, outspoken, complicated woman. Her cold stare in his direction speaks volumes.
Seeing the real Ball onscreen will not destroy Findlay's richly textured portrayal and will add greatly to the amusement and mystique.

Diane J. Findlay's portrayal leans toward homage rather than imitation, but it’s convincing because she gets the star’s essence right. One of Lucy’s great strengths as a comedian was her readability – you could always see what was on her character’s mind. Findlay captures that quality.
Orange County Register, Paul Hodgins
Impersonating a legend as familiar as Ball is a lost cause, but Findlay looks like she’s channeling Estelle Getty in a tousled fire-engine red wig.
