She is very unpopular when it comes to singing. It was a regular joke on the television show 'I Love Lucy'. she sang in "the long long trailer" and she sanged beautifully! she could have made a album or something....in Mame and all the others....including i love lucy, her singing voice was dubbed and replaced by someone else.

wrong. Ricky was a made up character. His Real name was Desi Arnez

Lucy was only 4 years old when her father died from typhiod fever. -Lucyexpert593

She was born an American citizen, as were both her parents. Her ancestors can be traced back to American colonial days.

Thus, by any reasonable definiton of the term, she was an American.

I Love Lucy dolls are a collectible item, but have a fairly limited audience. Their worth would depend on the style and age of the doll, as well as the condition. One way to find out a doll's worth would be to visit eBay and compare how similar dolls sold. That would be a good way to gauge the value of your doll.

Lucy became one of the great comedienines in the world. Her 57 year professional career on stage, radio, film and television. Her years in show business earned her critical aclaim and 13 Emmy Awards. Her trademark red hair wasn't around in her early years as a Chesterfield and Zeigfeld Girl and neither were comic parts. She was a shrewd business woman and still and probably always will be the leading cover on TV Guide (39 times.)

Lucille Ball was born in Jamestown, New York. I'm not sure where her home is, but I do know that there is a museum there dedicated to I LOVE LUCY. If you want to visit someplace about Lucille Ball, that would be a good idea. The Desilu Museum

I have many favorite episodes, as most fans do, but I will say some of my favorites have to do with Lucy and Ricky pulling off one of her schemes together - such as trying to break their lease by being loud! Another is a bet they make that Lucy can't weasel her way into a show at the club, and when she does, he just grins and slaps the $50 into her hand in the middle of the number - the sex appeal between them is amazing. If I had to pick two though, it'd be the one where they wind up in that shack motel where the train keeps going by, and the one where they've moved to the country and the wind is blowing is so hard. Both couples decide to surprise the other and wind up scaring the hell out of each other instead! Lots of fun and great friendship energy between them all.
