  • Lucille Ball spoke with ET in 1984 about the success of ‘I Love Lucy’ and the hit sitcom’s enduring popularity. Out of all the show’s many iconic moments, the legendary actress revealed which episode was ‘the most exciting’ for her. She opened up about her marriage to Desi Arnaz and their eventual divorce in 1960. Ball also praised former co-stars Vivian Vance (famous for playing Ethel Mertz) and William Frowley (known to viewers as Fred Mertz), admitting that she can become emotional watching reruns that stir fond memories. ‘I Love Lucy’ is streaming on Paramount+.

    She was the Original. Everyone that came after her walked in her footsteps. And Desi didn't get enough credit for changing the face of television comedies.

      They get credit, just not sure if it’s still enough. They changed not just tv comedies but TV itself.
      Desi’s 3 camera shoots and smart scripts, Desilu’s producorial tastes (Star Trek for one), fostering young acting talent that then became stars of the 70’s and 80’s, Lucy carving the path for all successful TV actresses after her, broadcasting the first network show that caught on around the entire world.
      They really CHANGED the whole industry AROUND them. Not sure we’ll see anything like that ever again.
      R.I.P. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez

      there’s a very sweet interview with Art Linklater (who himself was an orphan as a child and was married for 75 years), where he talks about how Lucy would always ask him little things about what to do with her children and he would try to help her with advice.
      She took on so many duties in her life in a different era when that just wasn’t seen yet, sadly.

    I think about how incredibly difficult it must have been for Lucille Ball to be respected back in a day when women were actively fighting to be recognized for their talent and contributions to this country and world. She not only broke down walls, she set a standard for all male and females, in every aspect of the entertainment business. Her physical comedy, her timing, her delivery, were always all on point. The people around her just made her better and those around her were unbelievable talents too. I saw a Johnny Carson interview with Desi. He was so classy and truthful. He said, I give 90% credit for our success to Lucy. It’s such a shame that they could never find the true happiness in their personal lives that they portrayed on the TV’s across the world. May they all Rest In Peace.

CBS refused to pay for the film saying it was too expensive. Lucy and Desi spent their own money on the film and then the filmed episodes belonged to them. What a genius.

    such professionalism, Im glad despite their divorce, Desi and Lucy continued as friends and remains in contact, sometimes things like that work out that way. That is the recipe of a good show, colleagues who greatly respect each other and work hard, as well as love their craft and have a knack for creating good chemistry between themselves and the characters they portray on screen. Also being on time, learning your lines properly and being able to have fun despite how hard the work is, also contributes well to a project of any kind.

    So many favorite "I Love Lucy" episodes, but the one in the shack when the train went by - when I first saw that I thought I was going to break a rib. Vivian Vance killed it. Or the episodes while they were in Hollywood - they were all pure gold. I miss the 50s.

    I am a millennial. The only reason why I know about lucile ball is through syndicated reruns back in the 80s and early 90s. It was on, and I watched because there was nothing else to watch. Today, with personalized algorithmic streaming, nobody will be exposed to anything too old or outside their bubble of personal interests. I think most classic media is going to be quickly forgotten by the new generations

    Gen Z feller here. My mom tried showing me I Love Lucy when I was about 7 years old but I wasn’t really interested. Few years back, we started a TV watching ritual every night and eventually, began incorporating Black and White shows. I pitched The Twilight Zone because it is a classic show and I have some fond memories of seeing a couple of episodes (my 3rd-5th grade teacher showed us a few, hope heaven is nice Mrs. Crockett ❤️) and my mother pitched I Love Lucy. We ended up having it alternate between nights and after a while, I suppose I gree to love Lucy just as much as everyone else. This show’s comedy is timeless and I am so glad my mom exposed me to it. Appreciate your god damn parents more, too!

  • @tomwheeler5165
    @tomwheeler5165 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The truth was Desi had a nervous breakdown from a combination of things. Desi's father belittled him because Lucy was the star and his father thought the man should be the leader but Desi was the head of the family (Lucy didnt take that away from him) and Desi was the CEO of DesiLu (Lucy didnt even go near running the company) so the only place Lucy was the leader was because she had that name that attracted the audience. If you want to know the "key" to understanding Lucille Ball, she says it right here in this interview and its one of the few if only places she said it. I made friends in this business (very loyal talented friends) which insulated her from a lot of problems (lord knows she had enough with Desi and Desi Jr but people wanted DesiLu once they built it up to a television empire and don't be naive in thinking that they would have destroyed both of them if they could get their hands on that studio...and almost did get the studio when Lucille was charged with being a communist). Lucille knowing poverty and knowing how hard it is to get work when your out of work in the entertainment industry...she worked her ass off...not just for Lucy...but if she failed...she would have had to fire Vivian Vance, William Frawley, the writers, the producers, the directors, the staff, all her friends she gave guest appearances too so they could put food on the table. People go to work and they do their job. Imagine going to work and feeling the weight of 100 or a 1000 people...and you know each one of them personally...and your responsible for keeping them employed. You can say Lucille was controlling and tough but she was a person that was a mama lioness and she was both helping and protecting the people around her...and they protected her. Furthermore, Lucy and Desi never underpaid or exploited anyone in their studio. They knew the downsides of the business and they made it known DesiLu was a family company and they did their best to run it that way.

    Such a lovely interview. This is how I’d like to remember Lucy. Not all the problems and the drama, but the nice stuff. I like hearing about her fond memories of making the show. Life isn’t perfect but I’d like to think that for a time she really was happy working with her husband, having a happy family, and being at the top of the world. I’m glad to see her focusing on the positive and fondly remembering the good times. She brought us so much joy and laughter. I can only wish she really was happy and at peace towards the end.

      Lucy was in a long term marriage which she was happy in, and had regular contact with Desi till his death. While Gary Morton always seemed blah to me - she was happy with him - the support he gave her and not the drama that was in her first marriage. Also happy that Desi had a loving supportive relationship with his second wife. Don't know much about her, but Lucy said she was lovely and good for Desi; and the Lucie Arnaz also felt very positive about her too. Lucy and Desi gave us so much in I Love Lucy - they were both intelligent, talented people. Thank you to them both for leaving us with laughter.

    That was a great question and answer about how she actually became more childlike and happy during ILL. In her interview about 8 or so years earlier with Barbara Walters, she spoke about the ILL set as a place she could "pretend" her marriage was actually that happy. It was sad to hear her say that, and you could see why she embraced the happiness that Gary Morton had offered her at a time when she most needed it. By the time of this interview, she had softened her criticism of Desi, but still made the point that his excesses could not be moderated and destroyed their marriage. It's always a pleasure to find"new" interviews like this one, and to know that she and Desi got so close again, especially near the end of their respective lives. Thanks for sharing.

    True story; while I was a manager at a television broadcast network, I made my staff of 9 coordinators in a giant room keep our tv monitors on the morning re-runs of I love Lucy, 2 episodes back to back Mon thru Fri. I did it because with the tough days in a live feed network unit it can get pretty tense. Lucy had a way of helping us all start our day with a laugh, and it helped a great deal. When new hires would come in I'd explain that those tv's had to be on I love Lucy every morning, they thought I was kidding, until existing staff would say, no she's serious. Lucille Ball was a genious, to this day I re watch that show and laugh just as hard as the first time I saw it. ❤

    He better work hard, because he stopped acting after Lucy. No shows he did was a success

It'll always be funny even though we know what's coming up because of the reruns.But in my opinion, what made I Love Lucy so great! Was that each episode was only a half hour. The audience /viewers was begging to see more.
