Thank you for this! If you try to find Lucy and Desi's house in Chatsworth, at the corner of Corbin and Devonshire Blvds., you should know that it no longer exists and the entire footprint was erased in 1976 to put in a housing development. A street called Tuba goes right through where their property used to be. A nearby house of 1940 vintage has been mistakenly identified over the years as Lucy and Desi's Valley home. Not true. The San Fernando Valley Blog has a treasure trove of vintage photos of Lucy, Desi, and the kids at home in their rambling ranch house in the 1940's and '50's. Their mailbox, driveway and front entrance were on Devonshire, with Corbin as the east border of their property. They were on the southwest corner. Today, this intersection is an ugly, barren corridor of street paving and cement block fences. in 1954, when they moved to BevHills, they sold their property to actress Jane Withers. Then, she sold it, and by the time of the 1976 sale and demolition, probably no one knew they were tearing down a beloved piece of Hollywood history. Also, there is a film on You Tube of Devonshire Blvd., taken from the back of a truck in about 1943, heading west. This was wide open country and citrus orchards as far as the eye could see back then. The narrator points out Lucy and Desi's house, sitting out in the middle of nowhere, shortly after it was built. Devonshire was a two-lane blacktop highway and Corbin was a dirt road! The Valley still looked a lot like this, but a little more built up, when I was growing up there in the 1950's.

My husband's grandfather used to date Lucy way back when she was a teenager living in Celoron, New York. He went off to the Navy and she, at 17, went to NYC to start her career. They stayed in touch over the years and she had an off-camera character called "Vinnie" that was named after my husband's grandfather. She would go home to NY and have her photo taken with him. When she died, my husband's grandmother sent her daughter a lovely card with note. Lucie did the same when Grandpa died. There is a Lucy museum in Jamestown, NY for those Lucy fans out there.

There is a home movie of Desi and Lucy long after their divorce, birthday party for one of the grand kids, and they were both in the pool playing with Lucy Jr's young child, and they were laughing, and then they got the most poignant look on their faces, almost sad, as if in regret. It still will make me tear up. They were a great team, glad they shared their lives with us, and thank you Jordan for the awesome vlog.

Thanks for showing a picture of how the house looked when Lucy owned it. It doesn’t even look like the same house today, which is a shame. I can’t imagine buying Lucy’s house and completely changing it. I would have preserved as much as possible - inside and out. In any case, “I Love Lucy” was the greatest sitcom in history - even my kids enjoy it. Thank you, Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel for bringing us so much laughter. It’s sad that Desi was so cruel to Lucy - that’s the part of their history that’s painful to hear and a reminder that people are often very different in real life than the characters they portray on screen, but I cherish those shows as if they were my own home movies.

I was in LA in 1990 or 91 don't remember exactly but Lucys house was for sale and had an open house. I was very 70s decorated but seemed a lived in family home. There were clothes in the closets, dishes in the kitchen cabinets. The back yard was open with a beautiful pool. I Love Lucy till today. Paved the way for women in comedy. The high walls were not there back then.

BEAUTIFUL HOME!! I loved Lucy as well and what a lot of people forget, Lucy was a real beauty when she first started out and it was only later that she started "clowning" up her looks! She was gorgeous as a model! And with Desi who was also a real talent and was also gorgeous, the two of them were one big knock out looking couple! Yeah, he was the proverbial Latin lover! The two of them started Desilu Productions which also produced the original Star Trek hit show! One of the first real POWER COUPLES before they parted ways! Thanks for sharing~

I'm a huge Lucille Ball /Desi Arnaz fan. I own every CD as well. My 10yr grandson and I watch "I Love Lucy" every weekend (at his request) when he comes over. He also can quote lines from "I Love Lucy" which cracks me up. I've been by the house years ago. After seeing this vlog I think I'll take a day and drive up to LA and show him the house. Their relationship was a heartbreaking love story. Several days before Desi passed Lucy talk to him on the phone. Lucy told him in 100 different ways "I love you." (According to their daughter). I'll be planning my little road trip soon I'm only 146.5 miles away 😊

Thanks to Jordan and Lauren for a great vlog. I really found this one "fun" as I think everyone loved Lucy. I know first hand how cool it is to spend time with Jordan . Some day I will have the chance to meet Jah. Appreciate the time you take to share with us. Love to you.....

The house looked better before the remodelling ! why would anyone change such a historical landmark?

Nobody could top Lucy..She is the best!

Hi from Ohio Everyone this is so wonderful to see Lucy's & Desi House back in the day I meet Desi Arnaz Jr. he was doing a play in Dayton ,Ohio in the 70's at a meet and greet very nice young man . Sending Good vibes from Ohio ; ) to everyone

They were bad at the end of the marriage but they became friends once they divorced. And I've always heard that Dezi considered Lucy the love of his life and he was full of regrets about the things he did to ruin the marriage.

Lucy and Desi were terrific performers to be able to make hilarious episodes while being at each other's throats! Knowing that, I appreciate what they left us even more. ❤️👏

AWESOME....AWESOME..Always Loved Lucy and Dezi. Met him in the 1970s. In New York city. He was very nice.

I Love Lucy...hands down the greatest sitcom of all time. I watch Lucy in order every night. Can't go to sleep without it.

I love Lucy!!! Truly one of the best of all time. She was one of the first movie stars to move to television. She was one funny lady and the comedy still holds up today. One thing l didn't know was the communist aspect. I liked the house better when Lucy owned it. It had the window boxes and foliage growing on it which is more of a classical look than plain tan stucco. Great vlog and great cohost.

I'm from Buffalo and I've always wanted to head down to Jamestown to pay a visit to Lucy's gravesite. I've traveled past the cemetery many times but haven't had the chance to stop in. This was an interesting view into a private side not many people got to see. Thanks

Great vlog, thank you Lauren for suggesting and participating!

Lucy also transformed a part of Paramount Studios so her kids felt like they were home.

That really touched my heart how you said Lucy was sad when they were renovating her house. They seen her ghost. I lost a home I love due to two family members....trust me...I know how she feels! 😢💔🏡

Some tidbits i know about Lucy and Cher. Lucy and Desi employed Cher's mother Georgia Holt as an extra, she was a model, singer/actress. She was a striking and still gorgeous blond who can be seen in a few episodes. Cher and her sister appeared as extras as children on Ozzy & Harriet. When Sonny & Cher made their big breakout as singers in 1965-66, Georgia overheard Lucy raving about them....and Georgia said oh Lucy that's my daughter, Cher. Lucy insisted on meeting her and they became very good friend....playing backgammon in the 1970's at a Club Called Mr. Pipps in B.H. When Cher decided to divorce Sonny, she went to Lucy who offered her advice as she had been thru the same thing with Desi. (cheating husband at the height of their career) There is also a funny story about how Lucy and Cher were at a party with Johnny Carson in attendance, this would have been during the Watergate years. Lucy and Cher were laughing and joking about Nixon, and this made Johhny made and he admonished them....Cher never appeared on the tonite show with him. on another note Lucy's next door neighbor was Jack Benny who they always heard playing his violin. Jimmy Stewart lived down the street for Lucy. One year he decided to plant a vegetable garden. He must have over planted or had a large yield that year as he late would take baskets of produce up and down the street trying to give it all away....Thanks for the video. Great job as always.

I always watch I love Lucy that show was the best show .she made the show . And her buddy Ethel I liked her .

Favorite show and role model to me. I love learning more things about her! She's so amazing

She deserved so much more than what he gave her and did for her I LOVE loved I love Lucy plus a few other things id seen her in she truly was beautiful and hilarious!!! So sad he couldn't have treated her better !!! But you know the saying the heart wants what it wants even though it ain't always good for us !!! Blessings!!!!

I've seen this house in person, took a movie stars tour and saw all these celebrity homes ...btw jordan thank u so much for the heart and the sweet response , i'd love to meet u and jah someday cause u do such nice vlogs , i know u moved to Vegas and sure hope you're happy in you're new home 🍹😍

Stunning Mansion with lovely prefect gardens. Totally love the stain glass window. Great seeing Lauren I hope you 2 had a blast.

Thank you for this! I appreciate anything Lucy related, & can't wait for the Chatsworth location!!! 👌

That was really interesting and your enthusiasm... look at that building wow is that the statue of liberty it's cute like a big boy that's what is part of your appeal you have this youth like innocent enthusiasm and passion it gets people excited

I remember seeing some of the photos and home movies on television from this house. So great to actually see it! This was a great vlog (as usual!) and Lauren was awesome! I love Lucy!!

That’s awesome that Lucy used to hand out Halloween candy! Great video!

Jordan, your vlogs are always delightful. Nice touch with your friend there. She looked great! You've also demonstrated that you've got an eye for interesting details with that paper blotted with lipstick.

Seen a few of your vlogs before. Just subbed. You did an excellent job. Most enjoyable!! Sending love out to the memory of Lucy and her surviving children and grandkids. I loved the Here's Lucy show with Desi and Lucy Jr's.....miss those days!!!

when i used to go sight-seeing in Beverly Hills Roxbury Drive was always one of my favorite streets - Rosemary Clooney, Peter Falk, Jack Benny, Ira Gershwin, Agnes Moorehead, and of course, Lucy and Desi's house all within the same block of each other - later on Madonna owned the home at 1015, which was previously owned by Diane Keaton and hollywood legend Betty Grable - Lucy and then husband Gary Morton still lived there at the time and, as always, we respected their privacy and never even thought of doing anything more than just driving past the residences on Roxbury - it was, and probably still is, one of the most famous street in Beverly Hills

I love lucy! My favorite comdienne. No one like her. Thanks for this awesome vlog!

In developing the three camera system, the producers balked at the cost. Desi said he would pay for all of it, BUT he would own all the rights to the system, as well as the films they produced.

Very informative. I never get tired of hearing about Lucille Ball. Thanks for the excellent coverage and the pictures.

So happy to see this! I love lucy! A true icon 👍👍

This has to be one of my favorite videos yet. Thank you Jordan!

I live in Jamestown, NY where Lucy's from. Originally, I am from Virginia and when I first moved up here, in 1977, Lucy would come up, every year and go to Jamestown High School where my children all graduated. We have many bldg's, the sides w/big murals and of course we have the museum and Comedy Store. Yes, Lucy is, was and will always be The Queen O'Comedy!!

I know this is a old video,but I love it! I really Loved Lucy. I still watch her.I was able to get to New York to see her childhood home and museum. Thank you for redoing this Jordan

Cant believe they ruined the outside...hopefully someone will remodel it back someday

God bless Lucille Ball..there will never be another like her. Jordan i am a new subscriber and as long as you keep doing videos like this,i will be here til the end all the way. Give Jah an extra hug for me haha that little one is EXACTLY like Scoob's (Jah's could be twin). They both look the same and have same characteristics. I have been binge watching your videos all weekend long and you have some pretty interesting stuff documented man. Take care and looking for the next adventure.

thank you Jordan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so wonderful. we all love lucy!!!!!!!!

Wow I really loved this one. My mom really loved Lucy alot.

Excellent video and great narration. Thank you

your video is so stupendous...You give us all the details and you are a great video person...thank you for all you do....am singing up for your updates... enjoyed this tremendously....

Awesome as usual thanks Jordan

That window you mentioned was the bay window that looked out from the living room. The backgammon room was off of the kitchen. Up above the living room was Lucy's bedroom. Her bathroom motif was red, of course. She had an huge, sweeping living space upstairs toward the back overlooking the backyard and pool. To the left of her house lived Jack Benny. To the right, across Lexington - Jimmy Stewart. I know I sound like a smart aleck - but I enjoyed your video as usual, J. Thanks to you and the hot brunette for loving Lucy.

GOOD MORNING JORDAN AND JAH!!! I LOVE LUCY... THANKS.

She was beautiful and he was handsome and they were good together. i love the show.

Jordan?! You got some 'splaining to doooo! Lucy is from Jamestown,NY 50 mi. From Olean,NY ( Capone's "little Chicago").everything in Jamestown is "Lucy". A music store there ripped me off on a drumset when I was a hardworking kid. Michael Pare (Eddie and the Cruisers) is also from Jamestown. Lucy and Desi had the first soundstage in Hollywood. Love all this nostalgia.thank you Jordan. Jah!

Hey there! I'm a new subscriber who lives in West Hollywood. Just found your channel and LOVE it. I've lived here since 1985 and love to walk the hills and stairs looking at old houses and checking out historical sites. Where is that building at 2:10 located?

Thanks for giving a nice tour and history of Lucy. Very talented actress ❤️

Loved this ! Nice to see a fellow lionheart on the vlog ! Good job love the storytelling ! You’ve an advantage being tall being able to look over the fence . You always notice the fine details In things . I actually watched the super bowl but still didn’t understand the rules lol but it was fun to watch. 👍🏻🦁🎥🎬😎💙🏈👍🏻

just today i ran across your vlogs. i love them! i'm an old person and i remember many of these people, watching them on t.v. while my mom ironed - LOL! . how great to see their homes and get a perspective into their lives. thanks for this.

Loved this episode! Thank you

Loved it !! Love all your videos. Well Done

I love Nathan & Al’s pastrami sandwiches and pistachio cake. We used to eat there after my eye dr appts every four months or so. I grew up on I Love Lucy and have about 48 favorite episodes recorded. I am also enjoying old interviews on KZfaq with Lucie Arnaz, Richard Keith, Desi Jr. and old radio interviews that Lucille Ball had done in the mid 1960’s with fellow acting legends from the movies and Broadway. Thanks for taking us through memory lane Jordan and always a joy seeing Jah in the mix. Also thank you to the pretty young lady lion heart fan who filled in a couple details too. ❤️🙏🏻🐕‍🦺🌴

one thing i read about Vivian Vance,she had a phobia of forgetting her name and address.She use to keep her name and address in her coats pockets.

Interesting Vlog again Jordan, a beautiful home from what can be seen, according to some, she loved the place so much, I've heard that Lucy' spirit can still be seen hanging around the place at times. Thanks again

Great vlog. Learned a lot about Lucy I didn't know. Thanks for sharing this.

Lauren is beautiful! Great vlog, as usual

Great job to both of You! Very entertaining!

Just visited this beautiful home thanks to you Jordan. Also visited Hollywood lake park great place. Great channel!!

I have always loved Lucy. She was the best of the best. R.I.P Lucy

I'm actually reading Lucy's autobiography. Great vlog!

Lucille Ball saw their next door neighbor walk past the window of her mansion AFTER he committed suicide earlier in the day. This is one of the HOLLYWOOD ghost 👻 stories that was going around.

Thank you Jordan enjoyed it. Loved your friend Lauren she's so nice & pretty! Huge Lucy fan this was very interesting. Take care

I do love Lucy !! I've got to share this on Facebook with my family and friends . I remember watching a special about her life along time ago . I had forgotten about it until I watched your​ vlog . I remember them saying that her and her I guess siblings would dress up and put on skits when she was growing up . The acting was always apart of her life . I also remember watching , " The Lucky Show after her and Dese got a divorce . She played a single mom with three kids . I love that show too . Wow.... Jordan , you have an amazing life !! Getting to go see these places is awesome !! You're living the dream that many of us would love to live . Thanks so much for sharing this awesome vlog !!! 🐕💗

I love you blog's. If you ever get to Jamestown NY i highly recommend visiting the Desilu Museum. Its fabulous

- They took the writers from My Favorite Husband, as well as Pepito Pérez the clown who was Desi's friend, he helped Lucy with all these bits. - CBS not only saw people loved them, they were also worried about them going to NBC, since NBS showed interest in them. - Both wanted to get a divorce, though Lucy wanted it to come from Desi, this time, so he did ask for a divorce, letting her know they will tell people she asked for it. - I heard somewhere, it was Desi's idea to put wheels at the bottom of the cameras. It was because of Desi that Reruns came to life. He was the brains behind I Love Lucy. - The house itself had another section with 2 windows on its right side, from old photos. - The ranch house isn't there, unfortunately, if you did go to see the place, share a link :) - No, Lucy didn't consider Gary to be the love of her life. Gary knew Lucy loved Desi, he didn't even try to compete him. Lucy said: “Desi was the great love of my life. I will miss him until the day I die. But I don’t regret divorcing him. I just couldn’t take it anymore.” I talked with someone who actually played with her backgammon on her last year of her life

Enjoyed this a lot!

Nobody ever gave Desi much respect but I guess he showed them! One of the richest men in hollywood when he died.

If you get a chance to visit Edelweiss Chocolates in Beverly Hills, I believe you can tour the back room where the chocolate factory scene was filmed for the candy -making episode.... (I think you'll need to make a reservation prior)

Loryin has a beautiful sweater. Love the vlog on Lucy!

Great video !! I went by this house back in 1985 on the "Stars homes tour" . It would be great if you can go by their Chatsworth home, I wonder if it's still there. Enjoyed watching !!

I like the way you two presented this, wonderful info shared.

Thank You So Much!!.. Great Video, As Always!!!!!!!

Good morning Jordan another excellent video hope all is well and once again we all enjoy your videos

I recently found your channel and I'm really enjoying it. When Desi had his ranch in Corona, California, I was growing up in nearby Norco. I can remember us driving past and seeing it. This was in the 60s.

Well thanks! I did learn more about Lucille Ball. I grew up watching the reruns and still enjoy it today when I see it. That show still holds up and is so wholesomely entertaining. Lucy was a beautiful lady as you show in her pics.

❤awesome video. Totally enjoyed it. Please also thank the young lady helping you. She was great.❤😊

Im spoiled, after seeing the inside of Barbara Stanwyck's house and John wayne's boat! I thought i would see the inside of Lucy's house!!!

This is awesome love it thanks😊

I’m actually remodeling the inside of the house. It’s a really nice home, I’ve found old letters and pictures of Lucy and her husband. Really beautiful backyard and historic place.

Very interesting...you did a great job on this and it was fun to take the tour around the house. I have passed this house many times and never actually saw the back yard before. Thank you so much for this video. ;)

You are one of my favorite KZfaqrs !! Love lovee your videos !

This was just great!! Thanks for so much information. Lovely lady you had helping you!

Nice video! I heard Glenn Danzig live in one of Lucy's old house in Cheviot Hills.

Thank you for sharing! I learned a lot about Lucy!

New subscriber! Love your little pup. Love your videos! You should have wayyy more subs!💖💖💖

Jordan I think you are so adorable and your little buddy is so cute! I think that the way you conduct these vlogs is respectful.I like hearing stories of old Hollywood and Standing where they stood but I do it in a way that pays tribute to them!

Great video Jordan and your guest host was awesome too!

Awesome video!

Loved this vlog. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you lauren.thank u for doing the vlogs brotha i enjoyed it

All the houses were open with no gates or high walls , we were there in 1977 and took a bus tour. All the stars these days have high walls

Fabulous! Thank you!
