	BookPage Nonfiction Review: Ball of Fire
		Yes, there have already been notable Ball biographies, plus a memoir, but Kanfer astutely utilizes (and credits) them, melding their material with his own for a compelling overview of America's favorite funny lady.
		Ball was the classic survivor whose tenacity matched the talent she honed and perfected.
		As Kanfer tells it, Ball was a hot-tempered star, and she wasn't much of a mom.

	Ball of Fire: Lucille Ball (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Stefan Kanfer offers an interesting if debatable theory at the close of "Ball of Fire: The Tumultuous Life and Comic Art of Lucille Ball": We remember the show not just for its wonderful comedy but also because it was in fl and white.
		Ball was far less madcap and scatterbrained than "I Love Lucy" painted her to be.
		Kanfer's exacting portrait of Ball gives her much credit for not just comic genius -- and she was a born comedian of the rarest sort -- but also a shrewd, tireless approach to career building and maintenance that seldom failed her.

		Kanfer opens with a brief recounting of Ball's tragic childhood (her father died of typhoid when she was 3 years old) and her early career as an unintentionally starving model in New York City.
		Kanfer argues that Ball is one of the few truly enduring television personalities to emerge from the early years of television.
		Ball of Fire concentrates on the I Love Lucy show, how it came about (and almost didn't get off the ground), behind the scenes tidbits, its effect on America.

	Ball of Fire by Stefan Kanfer
		Ball of Fire tracks Lucy's pursuit of the superstardom that eluded her on the big screen and follows the actress through a series of disappointing affairs and sorrows until she meets a Cuban conga drummer six years her junior, and falls headlong in love with Desi Arnaz.
		This is the first biography to examine the legendary Lucille Ball in all her many dimensions: her personal struggles and the torments that forged a comic genius; and, at last, her posthumous influence on television comedy, on feminist scholars and cultural critics, and on the public at large.
		Ball of Fire is the definitive biography Lucy fans have been waiting for.

	Re: Why does pouring water into boiling bacon grease create fire?
		Your question illustrates why you should never pour water on a grease or oil fire (or into hot oil or grease).
		To understand why you get a big ball of flame from your "demonstration" we have to examine what is taking place.
		That atomized grease is flying everywhere and some droplets will come close enough to the flame of the stove or fire to ignite.

	Ball of Fire by Stefan Kanfer
		As a movie actress Lucille Ball was, in her own words, “queen of the B-pluses.” But on the small screen she was a superstar–arguably the funniest and most enduring in the history of TV.
		Ball of Fire gives us Lucy in all her contradictions.
		What makes Ball of Fire an unexpected pleasure–and a rarity among Hollywood biographies–is Kanfer’s almost novelistic appreciation of how Ball evolved emotionally through her 77 years.

		Although Ball reigned on four consecutive top-rated CBS comedies from 1951 to 1974, Kanfer sees a decline in the quality of her work beginning in the early '60s.
		Lucille Ball is one of the totems of America in the 1950s, but she has proved to transfer very well into the next century and into other cultures.
		At times, the two diverge, for example in discussions of the possible causes of Ball's leg problems when she was a young model and the intricacies of her early home life.
