She'd learned from the best. When she was just one of the gorgeous Goldwyn Girls in MGM movies, she's spend her free time talking with the studio's greatest comedians, and learning from them. And she had no fear whatsoever of looking ridiculous. Unlike most actresses of the era, who insisted on always being glamorous.

Golden Girls September 14, 1985, to May 9, 1992--Lucille Ball (August 6, 1911 - April 26, 1989) . So Lucille Ball wasn't dead, but she was certainly elderly. In 1985, the first year of Golden Girls, Lucille Ball was aged 74 and would die in 1989 at age 77. If she was in passably good health she could have made a cameo, but she may not have been in such good health to even do that.
@@StevenTorrey She was in good enough health to appear at the Oscars one month before her death and had made other appearances on other shows from 1985-1988. Don't think health precluded her from doing it.
@@MollyASMR127 No, she wasn't! Her last show, "Life with Lucy" was cancelled after only 8 episodes aired. Lucy's type of physical comedy that did not address serious life issues was from a bygone era. The Golden Girls featured older people but they were sexually active outside of marriage, and dealt with issues faced by aging Americans, such as difficulty finding employment, friendship, dating, & grief over losing loved ones, as well as general topics like addiction to prescription meds, homosexuality, & homelessness. Roseanne was in its second year, and that show dealt even more with serious issues faced by blue collar families raising children & struggling to make ends meet & it was #1 for several years. Both shows were hilarious & enormously popular. TV was changing.
@@chriskay1449 She had her own show during the period in which The Facts of Life overlapped with Golden Girls, Designing Women, & Roseanne. It came on the air the same year that Kate & Allie went OFF the air. Life w/ Lucy flopped. Television was changing & the role of women on TV was changing. People didn't want to see an elderly Ball & Gale Gordon (Vivian was dead) doing physical comedy. Lucy didn't like the changes in television. Her shows never used sexual innuendo or sexual situations for comedy. Golden Girls was filled with sexual humor & situations. Her shows never dealt with societal issues. Designing Women's entire show was built on social issues faced by these women & the people they loved. Her shows never dealt with aging or addiction, the way GG did, or financial struggles, the way Roseanne did. Roseanne portrayed a blue collar family dealing with working class family problems. Lucy's writers & style of humor were a relic from the '50s & '60s
Her last show was so low in the ratings (#71 out of 74) that it was canceled after only 8 episodes. People didn't want to see an elderly Lucy & Gale Gordon (Vivian died in '79) doing physical comedy. Sitcoms like GG had so much sexual humor & sexual situations, etc. GG was ALSO about aging women, but it dealt with issues faced by aging women in the late '80s, including dating, sex, ageism, friendships, addiction, illness, & the loss of loved ones! Lucy didn't like the changes in television, particularly that sitcoms were increasingly focused on political & social issues. She thought comedy should just be comedy and sitcoms were for people to escape the real world, not a reminder of their own problems or politics or social issues. Let's face it,- Lucy's first 3 shows never made anyone THINK. They never made anyone cry. Her humor was a relic of the '50s & '60s.
Then 25 years later Bea Arthur did an autobiographical show on Broadway and said that working with Lucy on the movie "Mame" was the most humiliating experience of her life. Not nice.
OMG, no! Lucille Ball was the last of the 4 main characters in I Love Lucy to die. She died in 1989. The only surviving member of the cast, of course, is Keith Thibodeau, who played Little Ricky. Lucy Arnaz, Lucy & Desi's first child, is at least 72 now (2023).

I’ve never noticed how beautifully Bea moves, especially in the last segment.
I know, agreed. In Maude she was more elegant and in touch with her sexuality, in golden girls she wasn't, because Dororthy wasn't
@@sw9618 but both are still good shows
@@Sistermedusa1986 absolutely
Two immensely talented women. I wish that I could have seen the entire show.
Yes! I agree
This link is for a 55 minute video! Hope you enjoy ❤️
Bea looks so beautiful here.
Once again Lucy proves why she is the master of comedy. Her timing and energy is impeccable.

wow. both of them on one stage. just priceless.
I was surprise to see them together again after the movie MAME!
Otherwise known as Mamed lol

Lucille Ball had such stage presence and such beauty!
1:55 That look is so iconic.
Its that "God will get you" look
Lmao the end. That's great. I miss TV 📺like this.
What great fun! I would like to see the entire show!
Here you go. It’s 55 minutes in duration. Hope you enjoy. ❤️
@@donnadaisy333 where's the link?
Back when TV was entertaining. With actually entertaining performers.
Espectáculos con glamour y estrellas conocidas, versatilidad, lujo muy bien hecho. No como ahora pura vulgaridad
Back when we had real entertainment.
This is So Funny .
Lucy was about 70. Still pretty limber
2:01, nice miming!
i miss this kind of t.v. programs i wonder if lucy was sent a script to be on the golden girls for 1 episode
Wondered how they got on after Mame...
Do you have the full special? I'd love to find a copy for my reference archive.
The Pin-up girl and the Marine.
Then 25 years later Bea Arthur did an autobiographical show on Broadway and said that working with Lucy on the movie "Mame" was the most humiliating experience of her life. Not nice.
but the way who singing the opening cbs on the air 1978 not just mary tyler moore
1:33, haha
0:15, nice looking finger.
Pawesomw dance.
That was amazing 🤩 I've never seen that before. They're not incredibly talented
Are they still with us??
Lucy was 67 here and died at 77, she was born in 1911.

Lucy should have been one of the Golden Girls, instead of doing Life with Lucy!
Two talented actresses but woof woof what an awful number.
it ended well the 2 of them getting pies in the face
@@bigwillietheb the sad thing is that may have been the highlight of an otherwise embarrassingly awful number.

Not really, you are just used to modern crap and hip hop and rock music.
@@Shamonwhitehurst252 not at all, I listen to little more than swing music and jazz standards.
Bea Arthur was a horrible person.
No one cares what you think
did you know her?
Oh so you got to hang out with Bea? Lucky you.

I knew of her, and knew her by reputation. I knew her friends, no of any value. And I was often in the same room with the woman.
