Lucille Ball

Lucille Ball, like most actresses, was in a variety of fictional sets and structures that were in her case ( Made for TV). it is difficult to establish residency- a similar situation prevails with Prop automobiles such as the Batmobile and more soberly, various custom and production cars used in ads- Catherine Deneuve and Gina Lollobrigida have both done automobile advertising. this does NOT establish ownership of said cars.

Only 12 months.

Lucy entered into the John Murray Anderson-Robert Milton Dramatics School, New York City - alongside fellow student Bette Davis - in 1926, at just 15 year of age. She dropped out after her instructor sent a letter home, saying Lucille was wasting her time and the family's money- she had no future as an actress.

20 years.

They met in 1940 while filming "Too Many Girls", hit it off immediately and eloped the same year. Ball filed for a divorce in 1944. But shortly after she received the divorce papers, she reconciled with Arnaz. Then on May 4, 1960, just two months after filming the final episode of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, the couple divorced. However, the two remained friends and spoke fondly of each other until Arnaz's death in 1986.

Definetly not. She wasn't even alive at that time.

Frances Fisher

Yes, she had two. Her daughter, Lucie Desiree Arnaz, was born 7-17-1951. Her son, Desidero Alberto Arnaz y Ball, was born 1-19-1953.

A woman named Cassandria Carlson claims that her mother, Madeline Jane, was put up for adoption by the couple, but it has not been proved.

yes

Someone at Graumans Chinese told my friend that her footprints were moved to somewhere in San Francisco... can't find out where

The newborn (in the hospital) 'Little Ricky' was played by John Grazer, and was a one time appearance. For the remainder of the season (#2), 'Little Ricky' was played by twins named Richard Lee and Ronald Lee Simmons.

Then, starting in Season 3, a second set of twins - Joseph David and Michael Lee Mayer took the role, and remained as 'Little Ricky' for the next three seasons (#3,4,5).

Five-year-old Keith Thibodeaux made his appearance starting in the first episode of Season 6 ("Lucy and Bob Hope"), and remained 'Little Ricky' through the end of the series + The Lucy/Design Comedy Hour episodes.

I don't know the name of the song either. But...

The chorus went:

"Edward G. Robinson, Edward G. Robinson, Edward G. Robinson, Edward G. Robinson."

One of the verses may have included:

"Hilary Brook, Elisha Cooke, Sir C Aubry Smith and Freddie Bartholomew"

I believe that the tune it was sung to was "Whispering" (1920) by Vincent Rose, R. Coburn & J. Schonberger.

I saw Des O'Conner perform this song ONCE. It was sometime in the late 1960s or early 70s, on Mike Douglas' syndicated afternoon talk show, which was taped weekdays, before a studio audience in Philadelphia.

That performance remains in my fading childhood memories to this day. Though I never heard it again.

This Des O'Connor song has nothing to do with the song "Drop That Name" from the Comden & Green musical "Bells Are Ringing."

The song is actually called 'The Name Song' and it was written by Des's writer, Tony Hawes, in the late 60s. The tune is 'Nola' by Felix Arndt, written in around 1925.

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz stopped filming "I love Lucy" because they divorced in 1960 (in real-life). Because the show was a success Lucille Ball was going to do a spin-off with just Vivian Vance ("Ethel") and William Frawley ("Fred") butVivan and William hated one another so the show idea never took.

how she was rumored to be a "red". or a communist. but some say it is not true but others say that she was just a communist to please her loved grandfather.

Yes, I am watching episode "Ricky Thinks He's Going Bald" from 1952. It shows them in the bedroom at a vanity mirror with Lucy worried about crow's feet & Desi worried about a receding hairline. Behind them is a bed. At the end of the scene both of them get into the bed.

The episode is called "Lucy and Ethel Buy the Same Dress" from Season 3.

Lucille Ball was a serious smoker, as it was the harmful effects of nicotine were not known yet. She smoked her first cigarette as a pre-teenager, due to the stresses left on her, being in charge of the house at a young age. Her mother did not object, but after a while, Lucille decided not to try smoking again till 18. Throughout her life she smoked, and her show "I Love Lucy" was promoted by Philip Morris cigarettes. Her husband, Desi Arnaz, died of lung cancer due to smoking.

he died march 3 1966

Yes, until 1971, when Desi Arnaz, Jr. left the series. From 1971 to the series' cancellation in 1974 Lucie Arnaz was the sole offspring of Desi Arnaz, Sr. and Lucille Ball to star in a sitcom alongside her mother.

Seriously? She made people laugh. She blazed a trail for women in television and movie production. She inspired women to get into comedy and fight for leading roles instead of character parts. She raised two great children. And through her, Desi Arnaz Sr. was able to take his talents from the nightclub circuit to Hollywood, and that influenced Cuban Americans to get into the entertainment industry.

She was the first Hispanic on television

Desi Arnaz was Cuban. That is a Latin American nation.
