Neil Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 The lyric names are sometimes hard to understand, especially when they're singing in counterpoint. Do you know them well enough to post them? I didn't know Marie Ouspenskya was mentioned. Ava "just people like you n me" Gardner was in "dubarry"?? Sabu, for those who don't know, played in a minor series of films billed as Sabu, the Jungle Boy. Interesting piece of trivia. He was married to actress Marilyn Cooper, Tony winner for Lauren Bacall's Woman of the Year. She had a great duet with bacall. "The Grass in Always Greener". Talk about an odd pairing! Sabu died in 1964 at only 39, so he did not get a chance to guest star on Here's Lucy but here is a proposed plot, a sequel to "The Carters in the Jungle" "Lucy Meets Sabu"--- When Lucy encounters Sabu in Africa, she tries on his nose ring and gets it stuck----right before he is to perform a ritual dance for the tribal chief and his new wife (Sid Gould, Vanda Barra).

Sabu was actually married to a different actress named Marilyn Cooper. When Tony winner Marilyn Cooper died a couple of years ago, it was reported she was Sabu's widow, but that was later corrected. He was married to another actress with the same name. And, yes, Marilyn Cooper was brilliant performing "The Grass is Always Greener." She also played Gooch in Mame at some point during the Broadway run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I was just watching Ricky's European Booking and discovered at least one more Oscar winner who appeared on I Love Lucy. When Ricky and the Pied Pipers are recording Forever Darling, lyricist Sammy Cahn is in the booth standing behind Louis Nicoletti (see below). I think that could possibly be composer Jimmy Van Heusen standing near Bennett Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of the 2nd group" everyone else plus one (the author of this piece). I never get tired of this episode or Lucy's very free-wheeling performance in it.
