was always very gracious \u2013 you would, you would get Gilda.\u00a0 You know.\u00a0 She just had this amazing persona and I think she really was akin to say Lucy, and to some degree Judy Garland, because she had this desire to be loved.\u00a0 And people really responded to that.\u00a0 I mean she was like, \u201cLove me love me love me love me.\u201d\u00a0 And that came across.\u00a0 And you know, she was, she was naturally funny.\u00a0 And she would do anything, I mean, she would bang into the wall.\u00a0 And did.\u00a0 And she said that her comedy \u2013 she once said that, you know she
