I worked on her property in Toluca Lake as a sub contractor for about 6 weeks. On our first day at lunch she came out on the porch and said, "I don't want to see another lunch sack on my property! ". Then she said, "Lunch will be served in the dining room every day at noon. I'll have no arguments. ". She was such a lovely and gracious lady. R.I.P. Lucy.

I watched Lucille Ball every single night as a kid on Nick at Night. I loved this lady. She was so talented and unbelievably ahead of her time comedically.

Lucille Ball teaches a very valuable lesson: be yourself and your gift will make room for you.

You may say whatever you like about woman like Lucille Ball but you simply just cannot deny that she was the original trailblazer for not just women in comedy but also women in Hollywood. Miss Ball was the Einstein, the Mozart, and the Shakespeare of comedy 🤪🥰♥️

I didn’t realize how gorgeous Lucy was until I was at a small museum to her. She was stunning in every hair color.

YAY!!! Ms. Karine, you made my night! I'm so glad you did Lucille Ball! Yes, Lucille wasn't a natural red-head and she had a hard hard rise to stardom yall. I found this out years ago and it broke my heart. It's why I go so hard for her because she really had to work hard and walk through the trenches to get to be the Lucille Ball that we all know and loved. She had her demons like everyone and was a uh...*ahem* "freak in the sheets". It was said she was a swinger and loved sex a LOT. About the sex part, she admitted it later in life, during her last years. Also, would yall believe that at one point, people (generally male executives) didn't think she was beautiful, even during her stardom years. They said she's not beautiful or sexy, but she's funny. I personally thought she was gorgeous.

My great aunt (who was an absolute knockout) was propositioned by Desi Arnaz when she was a young woman at a night club in LA. She said "But you're married to Lucy!" His reply, "She's out of town." 😱 She did not go home with him and when her girl friend who was with her at the club asked why not, my aunt said, "Lucy is a red head, what if she kills me!" She told me that he was very handsome and charming but it was creepy that he would so easily cheat on his wife.

Lucille Ball was/is DEFINITELY a pioneer in her own right. She will always be a trailblazer as a comedienne as well as a producer especially in the 1950s. Desilu would spawn classic tv shows such as Star Trek and Mission: Impossible. She looked even more glamorous as a redhead. Staying a redhead would serve as a wise move considering Mrs. Ball would become one of the most recognizable icons in the world. ❤️

The first Woman My Soul Connected with as a child I used to reenact everything she did she is my first Hollywood Love 💕

I LOVE THIS WOMAN! Nothing I find out about her could never change that fact. Her SOUL was on fire! Such a happy part of my childhood, she gave us SO MUCH LAUGHTER. I LOVE Lucille Ball.🥰😍❤️

I read Lucy’s autobiography years ago, and I think she lied a lot when she was younger. If I recall correctly, she told people she grew up in Idaho because she thought it was more exciting. Not sure if I’m remembering the correct state. But anyway, this was self professed. She reminds me of my Grandmother in that way. My Grandmother was a fun lady, young at heart, and she would tell whoppers of stories to her children just to entertain them. Anyway, that makes me question whether Lucy was actually descended from witches because it sounds exactly like the kind of story she would tell to feel more interesting.

The story with the hammer is shocking. I’ve never heard that. I’ve always found it sad that they couldn’t stay together, but if things were that bad, it might have ended horribly if they had.

Honey you have truly spilled the tea because I didn’t know any of this about Lucille! 👀😱

What a life led!!! I love finding out things about famous ladies that you wouldn't expect, and Lucy had a plethora of quality tea behind her! I'd love a profile on Carol Burnett next! 💗

I lived with my grandma as a child and she too scolded me for looking in the mirror. I’m in my thirties and I still can only do my makeup or look at myself in private. If someone is around me, I’ll feel uncomfortable or as if they’re judging me.

I live in Lucy's home town. My husband's grandmother was her next door neighbor and school chum. I asked her about Lucy and she said " She had entirely too many boyfriends." 😂 When my dad was a kid his neighbor was Lucy's aunt. He was a boy Scout and had to sell Easter candy. He went to Lucy's aunt to ask if she'd buy some. Lucy answered the door, bought the whole basket and then gave it back to my dad for his 5 brothers and sisters. She was so kind.

Lucille Ball deserved her flowers after everything she went through in the industry and her life. Between almost getting blacklisted and her struggles in Hollywood and her personal life, it’s amazing that she shaped her tv career and made a clear entryway for others to do the same. Without her, there would be no I Love Lucy or Star Trek today. One person you definitely need to research is Carole Lombard - she also was an actress and was one of Lucille Ball’s best friends.

People forget just how attractive Lucy was. They only remember I Love Lucy when she was 40 years old and dressed like a 1950s housewife! I have some of her early movies and Lucy was a knockout, a former Zeigfield Girl! While I can't speak for her singing voice, Lucy was also an excellent Dancer, while on the show they got laughs saying she had 2 left feet. And, even though she had competition from Phyllis Diller and others, no woman was ever funnier than Lucy!

Growing up without cable in the 90s, "I Love Lucy " was a staple. Always will be a big part of my life.

She’s such a comedy icon and an inspiration for comedians out there. Also, as much as I adore Nicole Kidman but Debra Messing was blessed by the Gods to play Lucille Ball on screen.

I Love Lucy and loved her more when I found out how she cared for her personal assistant I hate the term maid 😒 even after she retired. She took a stand when it came to black actors and actresses. She was a boss.

Lucille, may have gone through a lot but she ended up being an iconic comedienne! She and Desi formed and created "Desilu Productions" and she called the shots! I loved her movies and "I Love Lucy!" ❤️ Excellent video! R.I.P. Lucy & Desi.. 🙏 🎬 🙏 💕

Her and Desi's fashion games were crazy!!! All of the garments both of them wore were immaculate

I am a huge fan of the show. I literally watched the show as a girl and really admired Lucille and Desi. So sad to hear about all of the tragedies she went through. I’m also glad she didn’t go blonde because she stood out from the blonde bombshells of the time. I like that she had a personality of her own.

Lol my grandma would make us use soap if we ran out of toothpaste 🤣 a clean one of course!!

I use to love watching I love Lucy the show was so hilarious. and she was such a talented comedic actress in she was strong enough too survive in this business rip Lucille ball.

Gray is my fav color and I love taking care of my teeth and feet; everything else but definitely that too. I used to love watching I love Lucy as a kid omg

She was and is the blueprint for female comedians and even aesthetic for the time

Girl yes you did Lucy she is one of my favs. Yes give her those flowers 💐

Thank you Karine 💗. I always watched" I love Lucy " with my Grandparents. She was Iconic with her comedy.

I love Lucille Ball’s guts; she was a maverick in Hollywood and such a rare talent-she’s iconic! ❤

Learning that Desi Arnaz was a kept boy explains his vices of philandering, drinking, and other excesses. I am reminded of Nick Cannon.

77 is not exactly that young even for 2022. She still brings a laugh to my belly. Great life…she lived..

I loved seeing her on TV. She was so funny! 😂I had no idea she went through soooo much. She was such a beautiful woman. ❤

Can you do Priscilla Presley pls? Love your videos💘

As a late 70’s baby, Lucy’s show was a staple for me in my childhood. I learned so much from this video. Would love to see you cover my absolute favorite Old Hollywood Actress: Bette Davis. Also Gene Tierney. 🌹

Lucille said u want the cookie u gotta pay 💰 peridot

I know a few pisces and Leo couples that are volatile in various ways😔

A very well done mini-documentary of Lucille Ball! She was such a beautiful and veratile lady! I never knew she appeared in dramatic roles until I saw her in the movie THE DARK CORNER (1946) in which she was excellent!! Thank You so much for all of the details of her life you covered as well as the video clips and images!!! BEST WISHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was beautiful ❤

My Aunt watched Lucy reruns so much when I was younger. To this day she comes& stays one weekend out of the month. Saturday mornings we watch Lucy and eat Frosted Flakes.... Can you do Norma Miller the Queen of Swing

I never knew she had a haunted past or toxic marriage. How sad

My mother resembled Lucille Ball, so much.. I remember in 70’s watching my mother laughing this show that she enjoyed to watch. My could pass for white, but never denied her Blackness. My mother passed in 1980. When Lucille passed away in 1987, it really hurt to hear of her death on tv. I was turning 15 a freshman in High school. L O V E

Idc what she's done before stardom, she is iconic, beautiful lady

BIG LEO , MY FATHER WAS BORN 8-6

Can we get a Dionne Warwick video. She a underrated legend

So excited Lucille Ball has has landed on your Channel!‼️

I’ve been waiting for this one!! I know every I Love Lucy episode, word by word. Desi Arnaz next please. His story is very interesting.

Lucy was 28 or so she claims and Dezi was 23 but might have been younger when they met on a movie they were doing together. They had brought Dezi out from NYC were he had performed the part on Broadway

I brush my teeth everyday with Dr. Bromner's peppermint liquid soap. A little goes a long way.

Lucille Ball dated a fellow at age 14 - Johnny - who father was a mobster. But her beau wanted to be a doctor. However his father was murdered coming out of Church (sounded like a mob hit) so Johnny could not afford to go to college - and probably ended up in his father's business. Never read or heard that Lucy went with mobsters. She did say that she posed in the nude once - later regretted it. Again, needed the money for food. Did not ever hear that she "did tricks". She made good money as a model but in Hollywood there were hard times - and talked about how she picked up a nickel and ate left over donuts and used the nickel to order coffee. Also on dates she would pick up left overs while eating out and wrapped them and took the leftovers home. Also regarding the info re. the tragedy about the shooting incident. A neighbor boy came over the to be with Fred Ball, his girlfriend and the MGF. They were doing target practice and the boy was told to sit down. All of a sudden his mother out to him, and he jumped up, just as Fred Ball's friend pressed the trigger. It was a horrible accident - the way it was told left important features out. Sad.

03:24 Many of her old-time vaudeville schtick wound up in "I Love Lucy" years later. Like this swagger entrance found its way into an episode where she played "Sally Sweet, the Queen of Delancy Street."

Lucille ball before age 55 was gorgeous 😍 ❤️ stepmother vibes!!

What a beautiful lady, and her life is what I expect of anyone. Everyone has a past. 👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰 *Can you do a video on Rosie Perez and Bernie Mac.

NO,... LUCY AND DESI HAD MANY BEAUTIFUL YEARS TOGETHER B4 HE DID ALL THAT AND IT CRUSHED THE MARRIAGE. MY PARENTS WERE DEAR FRIENDS OF THEIRS DURING THOSE GOOD YEARS. AND THEY LIVED NEXTDOOR TO US IN SHERWOOD FOREST AND THEY BUILT THEIR HOUSE IN PALM SPRINGS NEXTDOOR TO OURS THERE TOO. MY AUNTIE LU. LOVE HER SO. ALWAYS WILL!!

I love all your videos :) I found it interesting that Lucy's middle name was Désirée. She married Desiderio (Desi). They were destined to be together. Also interesting, she had a brother named Fred and Fred was a character on I love Lucy. Thank you for sharing.

Desi was a kept boy…..you learn new things every day

LOVE LUCY! So beautiful, funny and quirky!!!

I suddenly felt real love for daughter Lucie. I've watched her interviews and the performance of "The Best Is Yet to Come." She seems very strong and honest. I wish her well and would love to meet her.

After all this time of knowing about Ms. Lucille Ball I never realized we have the same birthday!! Makes me love her even more.

She really was beautiful😍... I love how she didn't rely on it to get by.. These clips have floored me because I never really appreciated how pretty she was. Her beauty was rare because it was more than just suface..

What a natural beauty.

One of the greatest comedy legends of all time. I Love Lucy set the standard for sit coms. Please do a breakdown for Desi Arnez. He was a brilliant tv director.

KARINEQUEEN 👑👑👑 I love ❤️ watching “I Love ❤️ Lucy” ☺️☺️☺️

Lucille Ball's look was literally full drag

Do a CAROLE LOMBARD BREAKDOWN TOO PLEASE!

I grew up watching I love Lucy with my mom. She could make me laugh with just an expression on her face. She always did the opposite of what she was told and it got her in trouble every time. The show truly was funny . Have you checked out Katherine Hepburn?

Lucy was stunningly beautiful! And so talented!

She was ahead of her time, the first Woman to own a film studio. I'm surprised her children didn't want to take over, before she sold it.

She is my all time favorite actress. I was in the US army stationed in Schofield Hawaii between 1988- 1990. After hearing the news of her passing, my unit had a formation honoring this great lady.

She was a comic genius! And I saw her in old dramatic films and she was fantastic. ❤

My own mother reminded me of a cross between Lucille Ball and Cher, if you can even picture that. This was a lovely documentary of Lucy's life and career. ❤️ Edit : Lucy & Desi were a real love story for the ages. Opposites attracted, oil and water, but also moth to a flame for each other. It's been said by more than one Hollywood source who knew them, that [sic] if they're weren't trying to kill each other in the living room, they were trying to in the bedroom.

So Desi was a ‘kept boy’ for a rich man before his Hollywood fame, huh? Well, so was John Wayne and Brad Pitt. Allegedly. ☕️

Thank you for this because I have ALWAYS adored Lucille Ball! She has always been that chick, and she was absolutely beautiful inside and out. She's the true definition of a comedic icon. I loved watching I Love Lucy with my grandmother when I was little, and it's still one of my favorite shows to watch now.

R.I.P. to Lucille Ball: a trailblazer and comedic icon

Please do one for Catherine O’Hara!!!!

Knew a girl I went to school with that Looked JUST LIKE Lucille Ball! Such A BEAUTIFUL, LEGENDARY Actress Lucille was....👏👏🙌✌️

I may have already posted this but when my children, now adults (my youngest turned 30 years old today) were young, my family including husband and my 70 year old father would watch I Love Lucy on Nick at Night. 3 generations rolling on the floor laughing at Lucy. Good, clean, wholesome fun. As an adult I began to appreciate Lucy's beauty and as a young woman I was like "Damn, Desi is fine!"

Did you read my mind? Because I was gonna ask if you can do a video on Lucille Ball. I was born in 2001 but I love old school, classic, retro, vintage whatever is the proper word for it. But thank you for doing Lucille Ball I love her

Lucy was the first women in Hollywood I was l drawn too. I did my first presentation on her in 4th grade and was so excited to read her autobiography. This made my morning!!

I was such a huge fan of her and her show. There will never be another show like her's

Lucy was a showgirl and model in NYC it was around 1933 before she went to Hollywood. Excellent pictures in your video.

Man she was always exquisitely beautiful. While I loved “I Love Lucy” I really love her in the films from the 1940’s. She was especially good in a mystery movie “Lurid”.

My stepdad immigrated from Cuba with the rest of the family back in the late 60s. I came about later in upstate NY, being the first American born of the family. I remember growing up and watching reruns of "I Love Lucy" that came on after all the sunrise cartoons were done. She was genuinely funny, a lot of the jokes were "safe", but I also just had this feeling she was a little crazy. Her kids seemed to inherit that craziness getting into their own trouble.

I'm a black woman with red hair. I loved Lucille ball. But didn't like when my friends would tease me and called red head Lucy. I read some where she used henna to color her hair.

THANK YOU FOR LUCILLE BALL'S BREAKDOWN--- LOVED IT!!! Both she and Vivian Vance were beautiful! As a matter of fact, Carole Lombard, departed 3rd wife of Clark Gable gave Lucy advice not to do a scene with anyone prettier than herself. Hence the reason why Vivian was told to keep extra weight on herself and not to were much makeup. Lucy and Vivian became friends and that changed on The Lucy Show.

The mom of the little boy who was shot was supposedly a rather strict parent. She would yell very loudly for her son, and he would go running home. That's what happened the day he was shot. She yelled for him, and he got up to run, right when the friend shot the gun at the target.

Lucy was my the first old Hollywood star I fell in love with. An eternal comedienne and forever trail blazer such a beautiful soul omg ❤❤❤❤

Great research, thank you for posting! One correction: Ball was not 19 when she met Arnaz.

She was so talented and gorgeous! She is one of my favorite actresses of all times.

She was one hell of a woman! God rest her soul

Castor oil is amazing for skin. My kids and I use it. It helps with dry skin and it’s helping with my babies eczema. I wouldn’t use lemon long term on my skin though, too acidic

😢Amazing physical comedian and. Comedian Time never duplicated.

Please can you do Katherine Hepburn, Jane Fonda and her Fonda name?

Thank you for your Outstanding documentary about Lucy. Thank you for your Exquisite montage of unbelievably beautiful pictures. Add this fact. The Studio executive that dissed her so bad- she Bought the studio & Burned his desk.

I have always loved Lucy. We were watching old episodes of her and Betty White on Password just a few days ago. I enjoyed seeing the color photos here. In addition to being funny she was also very glamorous . Some of the fashion on I Love Lucy can be better appreciated in color. This was a really nice video. Thank you❤

I had no idea Lucille wasn’t a natural redhead. Looks like her natural hair color lol.
