What three celebrities would you most like to be BFF’s with?

I can't name very many people that people consider to be celebrities today. I'm pretty much stuck in the past. I like black and white movies and old tv shows. 

 This is Frances Bavier, she played Aunt Bee on The Andy Griffith show. I don't know if she was anything like Aunt Bee. I would want to be friends with Aunt Bee. I want her recipes. Besides she was just so sweet but could handle her business. 

Lucille Ball.....so pretty, so funny. Who wouldn't want to be her friend?

 

Marlene Dietrich- She was sassy! I like sassy.
