  • PART 2. As I was going thru boxes of my old VHS tapes, I found this little gem. A wonderful vintage video from December 9, 1984. Its the Variety Club's 9th Annual All-Star Party: This year honoring Lucille Ball. Filled with her friends and family; Hosted by Monty Hall. Featuring Joan Collins, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Carl Reiner and Sid Caesar, John Ritter, Vicky Mc clure, Shelley Long, Dean Martin, Jimmy Stewart, Gary Morton, Sammy Davis, Jr. who delivers a moving tribute to Lucy, Mr. Burt Reynolds. Capped off with a special song to Lucy from her son Desi Arnaz, Jr. and daughter Lucie Arnaz Luckinbill who is visibly moments away from giving birth. Monty introduces Lucy and she gives a very heartfelt Thank You to everyone for making the evening possible.

      Imho, certain feelings were expressed in this moment, by both Lucie and Desi Jr. Watch their faces after Sammi Davis Jr. made his remarks. Lucie's "smiling" and clapping, and Desi Jr. looks almost surprised and/or upset (angry?). Does anyone know the source of her kids' angst? Even if someone asked, I doubt they'd share their stories. They respect and love their mother. Lucille Ball, truly a global and timeless legend.

    Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Sinatra, Jimmy Stewart, Gloria Stewart, Marvin Davis, Barbara Davis, Loni Anderson, Burt Reynolds, Gary Morton all at one table-now a table like that will never again be seen in the history of this world. Lucy still teaches us though she passed away many years ago that innocent clean humor, and class and being a good mother transcend all the gutter celebrities you see today who stoop to obscenities, trashy sex, drugs and false charity.
    You may be gone dear Lady but you are definitely not forgotten. Truly one of the worlds greatest class acts.

    Sammy really put perspective to Lucy’s contribution that for a few moments their worries are put aside - can one person contribute more ? I don’t think so.

    Takes me back when I was a kid, seeing all these stars. Today everyone thinks they are a star, with their smartphones and TH-cam, waiting for their silver and gold plaque awards from TH-cam to come in the mail. I miss the days when the world was simple and people had respect and cared for one another.

      I sometimes wonder is it me? I first saw I Love Lucy in 1951 and have seen it several times since then - still laugh out loud. Read Laughing With Lucy by two of her writers: Madelyn Pugh Davis with Bob Carroll, Jr. and listened to two audio books, Love, Lucy written by Lucille Ball narrated by Lucie Arnaz and A Book, written by Desi Arnaz and narrated by someone who sounds like Desi - all very enjoyable, well worth reading or listening to.

    lets be fair, Desi ,Loved Lucy with all his heart, but he drank and could not stay faithful, but you have to put the Show 'which really made her down to him. Yes Desi Arnaz was the man who invented the comedy show in front of an audience, (he knew that Lucy was better at that ) and I think her work was never as good with out him. There was no spark in'The Lucy show' He even gave her his half of Desilu when they divorced. Hollywood treated him badly,even tho Lucy always stood up for him. Racism was in holly wood, and they called him 'Mr Ball' He and Lucy invented the best sitcom, no in my opinion the best TV show ever made , it stands the test of time over 60 years since the last episode, and is as Fresh and funny as if it was made yesterday. Desi since his passing is now recognised for what he brought to TV. Yes they married other people after their 20 years together they both said that each other were the love of their lives.Gary Commented on Lucy's passing, That she had finally gone to be with Desi.

    Lucille Ball was the only "celebrity" I ever wanted to meet. Never got to, but if I did I wish I could've said the things that Sammy Davis said. Perfect! So glad SOMEONE did and in front of everyone. I grew up with an extremely abusive mother and Lucy was an escape with laughter during my childhood. She truly was a gift from God.

      What's funny about it is that Lucy hated several of these people...including Jimmy Stuart who lived across the street from her. Most of these stars were putting on an act. She was known in Beverly Hills as "Everybody hates Lucy" because she was such a cruel person. True statement.

    • @LJ-ht4zs
      @LJ-ht4zs 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@jaf8771 Not true. Where do you get your information??? I guess we can't believe all the stars who were on tv or acted in the movies with her - People like Bette Midler, Carol Burnette, Henry Fonda, Betty White, George Burns, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Dinah Shore, Bill Holden Red Skelton etc. etc. btw Lucille Ball had her original writers Madelyn Pugh and Bob Caroll, Jr come from her radio show, to all 3 tv shows ; as well as people like Gale Gordon, who also knew her from the radio show and worked in some capacity on all 3 tv shows. One does not get that loyalty for decades if your are a terrible person. She was also good friends from the 30's with Carol Lombard and Clark Gable, they also lived close by as did Jack Benny. Never heard from anybody that Lucy hated several of the people as you suggested - I guess Sammy Davis Jr also was a fool or a liar considering his tribute?
