I miss Lucy Ling on "The View" (BEAUTIFUL PHOTO)

[Radio_Lady]

She went over to National Geographic and I've missed just about everything she's done over there.

Without her and Star Jones, "The View" will be just a bunch of young and old white chicks -- with TWO comediennes (Rosie O'Donnell starts in September)!

1. ???

That's Lucy Liu. Lisa Ling was on the View.

4. Trying to imagine Lucy Liu on The View

An idea whose time has not yet come.

11. Lucy Liu is an actress and probably not vying for that job!

5. Sorry. Well, that was the wrong photo, plus the wrong name.

This is LISA LING:



This is LUCY LIU:

The picture is one from her Ally McBeal days when she was playing a character named "ling"

9. Philosophie, I didn't know about Ally McBeal character. I stand corrected.

ANOTHER PHOTO of LISA LING -- from William Morris Agency.




ANOTHER PHOTO of LUCY LIU (She's the one with the freckles.)

10. They do look somewhat alike -- both beautiful, young Asian women.

12. Thanks for (quickly) straightening this out!

I'm sure a lot of people make this mistake. The "properties" of the first photo list LING and that's what threw me off.

13. You, too -- Raven's Eye -- you've got an eagle eye!

2. I think they will add another person

Rosie was hired to take Meredith's place. Star left after that, opening up another slot. I would be very surprised if they hire another "young or old white chick".

6. Agree with you. They will need a racially balanced group.

Look for a black or Asian woman. Hope they make a good choice!

3. I used to like watching The View ...

now I forget that its even on. When I came back to the States and Lisa Ling was'nt on there but Hasselbeck was, I lost the point of enjoying The View. And deep down inside Barbara WaWa wants to fire everyone and make the show all about her if she could ;)

8. Sorry you feel that way. She's already done many things by herself.

I used to work around the corner from Barbara Walters in the early 1960s. She was part of the "Today" show unit; I worked with director Dick Carson on the "Tonight" show.

I don't recall much of our interaction but I think she gets a bad rap from a lot of people. She broke the mold for women at NBC and was one of the people responsible for our progress. I admire her for that. Along the way, she sacrificed a lot -- marriage, possibly more children, and grandchildren. Her adopted daughter Jacqueline never had children.

I believe she lives alone in Manhattan with a dog. Oh, and a big bank account, I'm sure.

At 73, she might have more.

Here is Barbara's bio -- to me, it's pretty darned impressive.
