Important Poll: What was the greatest thing Ethel Mertz ever did?

Very important poll.

Willingness to have sex with the gross, fat, old coot she was married to.

I voted bluejeans.

A poll that does not include the geisha headdress with mukluks is no poll at all.

Stealing the dinner scene away from Lucy & Tallulah in "The Celebrity Next Door".

I almost weighed in on an "I Love Lucy" conundrum.

But then I remembered: I'm cool.

Ethel had so many great achievements. It’s hard to choose just one.

So many possibliities. But her greatest moment was The Chocolate Soldier performance in Albuquerque, OP. Though the leopard dress was pretty impressive!

How about her tour-de-force performance as Mary Margaret McMertz?

I prefer her early work as a serious thespian in avant-garde, off-off-Bway theatre: Brecht, Ionesco, etc.

Her greatest moment was standing up to Mrs Trumbull, who wanted the Ricardos evicted, because of their crying baby.

misreading Lucy's play script -- especially the "lover" and "liver" parts

Her performance of Shorten’ Bread.

The brilliant moment where she mimed wiping a tear away after the smarmy speech she gave to her friends and family at the Little Theatre.

Not getting cold feet during a routine souvenir hunt.

And stealing John Wayne's block in a skirt, no less.
