Many of you requested it, so here is a more in-depth tour of Lucy‘s house. Hope you enjoy and feel free to comment, like and definitely subscribe.! :) ENJOY!
@@DrGariS No I just delivered mail and went to the next house. On a note Jimmy Stewart lived in last house East of her accross the street and Don Knox lived next door to Jimmy Stewart. All on North Roxbury Dr.
I was at her home many years ago. This was when the home was original to her, and actually met her as she was coming out the drive way. I really like the look of the original house better than now 🤗
I saw this house back in 1994 and took a photo when it looked the way it did when Lucy owned it. It’s a beautiful home. It amazed me that anyone could walk right up to it given what a huge star she was. I guess different times. Stars weren’t stalked back then.
I have always been such a huge fan of Lucille Ball and her TV Shows! I am amazed that her home was so available to the public. I thought it would have been more secure! Thanks for the great tour. Makes me sad that the new owners changed the house. I would have left everything original and treasured it!
I liked it better before it was remodeled it was nicer the way Lucy had it. she was a wonderful woman.Thank you for this video.Thanks for making it possible. God Bless.
Lots of big movie and TV stars back in the golden age of Hollywood actually lived in Beverly Hills. The stars who live in the LA area now are scattered from Santa Barbara down to Laguna Beach.
That’s really amazing. I now live in the neighborhood and the funny thing is that when I was a little kid I wantEd get off of the car and knock on her door and my aunt told me she would kill me if I did that. I was in front of her home and I wish I would’ve bolted for the door!!! I regret not doing that.
@@DrGariS I did knock and asked for Desi jr. it’s when Dino, Desi, and Billy were a group. The maid said he wasn’t home. Then I went to Dean Martins house and saw kids playing basketball. Trippy🐾😎
I really enjoyed your video I admired all the old actresses and actors I hope you have more videos of all the old actors that we cherished so much thanks to guys like you we get to see iconic homes thank you very much thumbs up
I saw her maid in the doorway when I was 9 years old and we were touring Beverly Hills. I wanted to hang around and watch for Lucy but my parents had other ideas. Beautiful home BEFORE they re-modeled.
I was in California in May of 1989, 1 month after Lucy passed away, it was a awesome home, and should have been restored not updated, we took a tour bus thru, wrote directions and drove back thru later, down the block is the alley way where the bum in down and out in Beverly Hills was found
Pontiac GrandPrix73 hey thanks for the comment. I know that house and it’s not far from Lexington/Roxbury but it is actually on Elevado and Bedford (I think). :)
I had Love every thing about Lucy evey one in my home as to my father he had to see it so when i was growing up i was sad when she pass but i know one day we all have to go my parents are gone that is why we have to enjoy while we are here on earth we don't take any thing with us if i see some joke about Lucy still love it favourite the never get no one like her again
We honeymooned in CA 9/89, Lucy had passed earlier in the year. We walked up from Rodeo and I recall Gary’s Bentley in the driveway. Took the family a long time to sell it due to the economy, not like the prices today. Nice walking tour!
I read somewhere that Lucy bought this house for only $85,000. It's crazy that these old Hollywood stars' homes were much cheaper back then than they are today!
Oh, the new owners completely RUINED Lucy's house. You can't even recognize it anymore! If I purchased Lucy's house, I would have restored it to its original glory, not changed it completely! It looks HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kurtsupreme Isn’t that incredible? It’s almost like having the responsibility to keep it as a historical landmark I would argue! The same owners have been there for a while though. I wonder who they are???
They ruin the house and showed it no respect when they were ripping it apart after they purchased it they were throwing everything into a dumpster a friend of mine pulled the front door from it - They also petition with the city of Beverly Hills to have the address changed because to many people were coming by and looking at it no shit you bought Lucille Ball’s home - I wish HGTV would buy it and Do a Brady Bunch on it …it’s just gross
So much emotion for me because I know the joy and dreams they had when it was purchased but it became a palace of pain at the end of that marriage. Lonely nights wondering who Desi was with that night.
I enjoyed your tour videos a lot. I loved Lucy, and I had read before how the present owners changed her home a lot after purchasing it, and that someone saw Lucy's ghost (!) standing in the driveway looking at the house probably wondering what the heck happened to it! I have tried to find out what Golden Age celebrities still actually live in Hollywood or Bel Air, but it keeps showing homes of the younger celebrities! I know Angie Dickinson does, and I'm sure there are others as well.
I haven’t seen a home yet that’s better after one of those renovations they don’t have any real feelings to them either know because my late parents home had to be after a fire never the same!!
Early '80s "Hollywood" moment, having nothing whatsoever to do with Lucy (although I did drop by her house one day....never can recall if it's 100 or 1000 Roxbury)---anyway, toodling down Sunset Blvd in Beverly Hills (quite near Lucy's house), I drove up alongside longtime talk show host/scenemaker, Virginia Graham. At a light, I commented on what a stylish, fabulous car she had (you expect me to remember? Nope!). Then, this: "It's a classic, but I like jazz!" Only in BH!! She then shared that she was on her way to her friend, "Joanie" Rivers' house!
The I LOVE LUCY episode where, on the trip to Hollywood, Lucy gets of the tour bus to steal a grapefruit from Richard Whitmark's tree was filmed at the side wall around Lucy's house. This house! It is Richard Whitmark, isn't it?
I've been there four times. Once each triip. It's a beautiful neighborhood... Not sure pretentious at all. The house facing Lucy's belonged to Humphrey Bogart. Quite interesting people.... Quite interesting times.
I remember when they renovated....it still looks bad. Sad what they did to Jimmy Stewarts place across the street. Tore it down and build an ugly dump. Worked for Patricia Barry at 323 North Beverly build by Charlie Chaplin ABSOLUTY HATE the renovation. They even cut down the magnificent pepper tree which was show piece of the backyard. SAD....
I was her security escort once. She had gone shopping earlier in the day and had a few shopping bags. Ms. Somers held on to those bags for dear life !! She was very nice and friendly. I had to laugh after she left thinking about her clutching those bags. 😁
I Like Lucille Ball, I Use To Watch Her ( Lucille Ball Show ) On 2 Of Her Epic Shows = One Show Was When Lucille And Her Friend Was On The Assembly Line Working In A Chocolate Candy 🍬 Factory 😂😂.. And The Other Epic Show = She Are Coming Down The Stairs As A London Dresser Holding Onto Her London Tall Hat 😂😂 Laying On The Stairs.. Playing Like She Was Sick 😷 Among The Other Ladies That Was Off On Both Sides On The Stairs Balcony Looking On. God Bless Her Soul 🌟 🕊 🌟 🕊. R.I.P. Lucille Ball.
It's not her house anymore. The original design and structure made it her home thus the historical aspects of this house are erased. Some things should never undergo change.
It’s still the original structure itself. The did a heavily remodeling but where it is and the bare bones are still it. I wish they never would have done it though.
I agree, the house looked so much better with the dark shutters, black front door and window boxes which gave it character and charm when Lucy had it. The new owners took away all the charm and now it just looks too plain and boring. They even ruined the landscaping.
It did look prettier, with more charm with the black&white shuttered windows. The stuco color has more of a spanish, mordern look. Drove by this many times and it was very open, no fence, with their big cars parked in the driveway, but never any Lucy!
@@DrGariS , wouldn't it have been awesome if they could have left it the way it was when she lived there AND THEN.... let fans tour her home ? That would have been an awesome tour....!!! Oh... gives me the chills just thinking about it . lol !! 💖
You wonder how interested the new owners were in the previous owners as they go about reconverting the house? I guess it is possible to be in awe of the previous, but still move forward with new concept for the house.
When I was a kid in the late 70's my Mom's car broke down in Del Mar CA and happened to right in front of Desi Arnas's Mom' s house. She helped us out. She gave my Mom $50 and called us a cab. She was so sweet. Even gave us cookies! What a sweetheart. I will never forget that.
Traci Olson Tour busses used to disgorge tourists on the cul de sac at the Houston home of GHW Bush and Barbara. Barbara in her autobiography complained because many wanted to enter her front yard. She definitely did not welcome them with cookies. The TX legislature passed a bill which allowed any street where a POTUS lived to be gated. Whenever I passed by there was a shiny police car either entering, leaving, or parked across the street. GWB lives on a similarly gated street in Dallas.
It's a shame what they've done to the exterior. It used to be SO beautiful and full of charm! I always thought that house (in it's former state with the black shutters and window boxes) was one of the most beautiful celebrity houses because it looked so homey and inviting...even though it was technically a mansion. Now it just looks like your standard cookie cutter Beverly Hills house. I also found it incredible that there were no walls, gates, or fences in the front...right up until Lucy died. Celebrities today could never get away with that kind of openness.
It’s quite surprising how little privacy these celebrities actually had as far a being so close to the street. All of the traffic noise would bother me. Thank you for such a thorough tour of the exterior of Lucille Ball’s home. How gorgeous. Wow. ❤
@@bettyschneider5268 well if he took it to the grave with him, that was only til the service was over and then either the wife took it back or if she left it, the undertaker got it 😂
They had a good life and in most cases a long life. I don't feel sad about a life well lived but yeah, I miss the actors I favored most even though I never knew any of them personally, it still feels like a loss because of the familiar faces I grew up with in movies and tv shows that came to my living room to entertain me.
Well many have claimed that Lucy hasn't gone anywhere and still see her there roaming around the house, especially after they remodeled it to I'm assuming her greatest distaste.
The now hipped roof dormers on the edge of the roof replacing the original through the cornice gable-roofed dormers now look especially superfluous now that the eave or cornice extends right through them.
I remember so well in the late 70's and 80's while living in LA and quite near to the Lucy home. While it is still recognizable it is quite different. As you say the entrance is very different and I don't ever remember the gate at the inner drive. You could always see a Rolls Royce in the drive. I was only in the house as a guest for a small dinner party once, however, I will always remember in fondly. Lucy was a great lady and an incredible talent. She will always be remembered. Now living in Palm Beach, Florida I look back on my LA days as some of the best times in my life.
I was invited in the 80’s by my best friends mom who was invited by her friend who was Lucy’s maid… I could not believe she had 2 living rooms… do you remember that?
It is the same house. They showed Lucy and Vivian walking up to the house across the lawn. It was supposed to be Richard Widmark's house, but it was really Lucy's house.
@@DrGariS { that would be incredible! Does anyone do this? I did see a small video of Streisand's house and in the basement she keeps all her toskies. Anyways did you see Lucille Ball walking out of her house with those beautiful shrubs on both sides of her? Gosh, that lovely walk. I don't think I'll forget that. Can you imagine? I saw some when I was in Cali - honestly speaking,, I'm grateful for my one BR apt in midtown. I can't imagine having so much $.🙏} did you see the house where Elizabeth Montgomery lived/died? I think it's in central B H. She was actually walking out of the house w/her husband down the stairs landing to the main road. Check it out if you haven't already seen. Thanks! R.}
Agree, agree. Lucy preservation angle aside, even, the original look was classic and charming and superior. Beverly Hills should have some renovation restrictions to preserve some of its magical grandeur.
Lucille Ball was my favorite actresses back in the day even as a child. I wanted to meet her so bad. But never had that privilege. Thank You for the Tour!

Wow Lucy was my favorite growing up as a kids . I watch her show m- f 7:00
@@lashturner Do you mean Don Knotts? I'm not being a smart-alec; I'm not very good with keeping track of celebrities. But I LOVE Don Knotts!
In those days it was a more open affair. Now its more about security gates and barriers.
I was at her home many years ago. This was when the home was original to her, and actually met her as she was coming out the drive way. I really like the look of the original house better than now 🤗
That is really neat! Did you speak to her?
Please tell us more!!!!
Another Lucky One.
Were you the paper boy??
Natalie Fox not hardly. Simply a fan visiting LA
I was a big fan of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz I still watch those old reruns Lucy's mansion house is gorgeous
Same here! It’s a beautiful neighborhood
I bet the neighborhood smells of money.😁
Have you seen THE LONG LONG TRAILER Movie She made with DESI A. Fantastic off the charts good.

I wonder y the kids didn’t keep it and make it a museum
The kids inherited all the Lucy stuff but the house went to Gary.
Yes i wonder too maybe the were going to get some of the proceeds from the sale 🙄🙄🙄
can't have a "museum" in a residential neighborhood
Faze panda crew a museum for Lucy already exists in her hometown of Jamestown, NY.
Oh I like these kind of videos.
Hey thanks. I have a few others. Enjoy!
Nice I like the way 😘Lucille 😘Ball Had It It Looked Way Better 💯And That Wall Small Concrete Was Unnecessary💯Rip 😘Lucille 😘Ball ❤️❤️❤️

Jimmy Stewarts house was on the second lot. He bought the corner lot later, tore it down an build an amazing fruit, veggie and flower garden.
Thanks for the info!

Yes this is it. :). The wall is still there :)
Reminds me of the Richard Widmark episode 💖💜😂😂😂
They used this exact house for that episode!
Lucy's original house was more beautiful and such a beautiful yard. The new look is not my favorite.

I've been there four times.
Once each triip. It's a beautiful neighborhood... Not sure pretentious at all. The house facing Lucy's belonged to Humphrey Bogart. Quite interesting people.... Quite interesting times.
The house was beautiful before. They changed it to look bland! I would not turn my head for that house!
Agree! It’s just special because Lucy lived in that structure.
I remember in 1977 it was a nice colonial.
I remember when they renovated....it still looks bad. Sad what they did to Jimmy Stewarts place across the street. Tore it down and build an ugly dump.

The house looked better when Lucille had it.
i think it was much nicer before and had so much more character. there probably wasn't near the traffic back then.
It’s not that blasé to traffic really. It’s a block from Sunset
Hermosa casa!!

All gone and soon we will be to.

Well many have claimed that Lucy hasn't gone anywhere and still see her there roaming around the house, especially after they remodeled it to I'm assuming her greatest distaste.
I was always surprised how accessible it seemed from the street. You could easily walk up and knock on the door.
I know!!! I was a little kid right before she died and my aunt told me that was Lucy’s house and I wanted to RUN to the front door and knock
That's how Lucy was able to buy this home, she walked up and knocked to see if it was for sale.
I watched Lucille Ball on tv and 💕 💓 loved her I wish she was still alive today
Me too!
I really like it before the renovation . They should have left it the way it was.
Abbgale Dillon sane here! Almost everyone feels the same way!
The now hipped roof dormers on the edge of the roof replacing the original through the cornice gable-roofed dormers now look especially superfluous now that the eave or cornice extends right through them.
Enjoyed very much the tour of Lucy’s house - thank you !
My pleasure! I’m glad you enjoyed it! :)
So much loud and constant street traffic. Busy corner.
I bet it was much, much quieter when Lucy lived there. SO many more people have cars now than there was decades ago.
It is not so busy at night at all
I liked it better before it was “modernized”.
Me too
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I grew up on Alpine Ln. just a few blocks from where you are.
Very cool! I lived on Canon!!!!
THE OLD LOOKED BETTER
Agreed!
I remember so well in the late 70's and 80's while living in LA and quite near to the Lucy home. While it is still recognizable it is quite different. As you say the entrance is very different and I don't ever remember the gate at the inner drive. You could always see a Rolls Royce in the drive. I was only in the house as a guest for a small dinner party once, however, I will always remember in fondly. Lucy was a great lady and an incredible talent. She will always be remembered. Now living in Palm Beach, Florida I look back on my LA days as some of the best times in my life.
Wow - that is amazing! I lived there and now near you also! Send me a private message! Tell us more about your visit inside the house. How was that?
I was invited in the 80’s by my best friends mom who was invited by her friend who was Lucy’s maid… I could not believe she had 2 living rooms… do you remember that?
The stark white paint was much prettier than the tan yellow on Lucy's house.
Robin Johnson I so agree with you!
That makes three of us!
You’re commentary is NOT too much! Loved it!
Omg thanks so much. What an awesome compliment. :)
Is it true this house was in the I Love Lucy Episode featuring Richard Widmark?
I believe so! I do not know if the house itself was showed but they used it as a filming location! :)
Yes it was. The wall Lucy climbed over was that wall he shows on Lexington. They do show a short clip of the front of the house on that episode.
Laurie At MySkinStudio wow I didn’t know it was that wall that they filmed. How awesome is that?
It is the same house. They showed Lucy and Vivian walking up to the house across the lawn. It was supposed to be Richard Widmark's house, but it was really Lucy's house.
I’d love to see the inside floor plan of that house!!
Me too!!!!
So would all the crooks!
Erin Dinneen 😄😄😄😄
Gosh I think it’s unrecognizable from the original. :(
Close to unrecognizable - yes!
Stucco, now out of style...I Iiked the orginal.look of the home...🤔
Mark Hoffman yeah the original is nicer too, I think. They could have done a much, MUCH better job with the remodel for sure!
The structure of the house when she was alive was absolutely outstanding!!!
Too bad there isn’t a video of it.
@@DrGariS { that would be incredible! Does anyone do this? I did see a small video of Streisand's house and in the basement she keeps all her toskies. Anyways did you see Lucille Ball walking out of her house with those beautiful shrubs on both sides of her? Gosh, that lovely walk. I don't think I'll forget that. Can you imagine? I saw some when I was in Cali - honestly speaking,, I'm grateful for my one BR apt in midtown. I can't imagine having so much $.🙏} did you see the house where Elizabeth Montgomery lived/died? I think it's in central B H. She was actually walking out of the house w/her husband down the stairs landing to the main road. Check it out if you haven't already seen. Thanks! R.}
85,000? Shit that was so cheap!!! If only they can be that much now, I'll buy one!
Right!!!!???
Love the old house
Tracy Bryson wasn’t it beautiful?
So beautiful! Thank u for sharing! I'm a huge Lucy fan! I love upper videos! Thank you
TheLindyconner so happy you enjoyed!!! Feel free to share and subscribe!!!
Beautiful home of Lucille Ball
It really is!
I really liked the house more prior to the remodel. It had so much character. Gorgeous home.
Same!
I Do Not Like The New Look To The House. I Liked It Much Better Before. They Way It Was When Lucy Lived There..
MGTOW yeah same here! It would be great if they never would have changed it. So disheartening
@@DrGariS You Got That Right
Agree, agree. Lucy preservation angle aside, even, the original look was classic and charming and superior. Beverly Hills should have some renovation restrictions to preserve some of its magical grandeur.
I have been inside Lucy's house while she still lived there, I helped a delivery man deliver for a party she was having.
James Greenfield NO WAY! What was it like? Was it when it was Lucy’s or this one!? How cool is that? Where do you live? Wow - so awesome!
Lucille Ball was my favorite actresses back in the day even as a child. I wanted to meet her so bad. But never had that privilege. Thank You for the Tour!
You’re so welcomed. She would be the top person I would want to meet too, if I could! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
I seen that home a few years ago along with Jack Benny's very cool.
You actually "seen it"?
I love love Jack Benny would love to see his house and things about the old stars
