Lucy Arnaz, Lucy’s daughter saw Messing in makeup on the tribute episode of “Will & Grace” and here’s what happened. Turns out there has already been an answer to this question involving a different actress: Debra Messing. It was really moving.Debra Messing as Lucille Ball via Google Images searchĪt the end of this recent post: Hmm, Not Sure About Nicole Kidman Playing Lucille Ball in Aaron Sorkin Penned Biopic, I wondered what Lucy’s family thought about Nicole Kidman possibly portraying the star of I Love Lucy? As I walked away, she said, ‘Break a leg, Mom.’ Everybody just flipped out and cried. And I’m so glad we were able to make it happen.’” And then I had to go. Messing continued, “And then she smiled and she said, ‘I know how long you’ve been wanting to do this, Debra. It’s been a long time since I’ve hugged you,’ and everyone started to cry.” “Then she hugged me and she said, ‘This feels really good. “We were about to shoot the song and dance and she walked in and she just looked at me and didn’t say anything.” Messing recalled. It was unbelievable.”īut hours in hair and makeup were more than worth it in the end, when Ball’s daughter Lucie Arnaz, who gave the team permission to create the tribute and made a special cameo in the episode, saw the finished product. “They literally would like glue one hair on at a time. She, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes rotated parts during the episode, each playing Lucy, Fred & Ethel, while Eric McCormack embodied Desi Arnaz throughout. And they obviously had to do it three different days for each one of us, said Messing. There were two people working on me at the same time. Messing also transformed into Ethel and Fred for the episode, with the latter transformation enlisting the help of the hair and makeup team behind “Star Wars.” But when the wig went on, all of us just went … All of a sudden we saw her coming to life in the mirror.” “Well, it took three and a half hours to get there,” Messing told Variety’s Angelique Jackson on the “Variety After-Show.” “ put Elmer’s glue over my eyebrows so that she could draw it on and then the lips took like 45 minutes. When the Emmy-winner posted a selfie flaunting her incredible transformation last November, fans remarked on how much Messing looked like Ball. Though “Will & Grace” star Debra Messing has often been compared to TV icon Lucille Ball for her comedic timing and their trademark red hair, it still took hours for the hair and makeup department to get her look perfect for the show’s tribute episode to “I Love Lucy.”
