Brock Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 What do you mean, IF IT'S TRUE? Do you actually think they both fabricated that story out of thin air? Thanks for the pic though, nice to see the man that got to see her without her regular LUCY LOOK on, LOL! If Viv's recollection is correct and the escort did indeed say he was "The King of Siam" rather than some of the other potential Asian kings from, for instance, Cambodia, Laos, or Malaysia. Somehow I think if Emperor Hirohito, especially at that time, crashed Lucy's place it would have been a big news story. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikidiki Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I know, i always thought of that, she said people came up the walk and stole the doormat, the flower pots, and she had to nail down the mat afterwards. Imagine if she had known Desi jr would get into strangers' cars and pretend to give them the real deal on who lived where to get money out of them. They often left the side door unlocked and strangers would also ring the bell constantly asking to see her. Imagine, the Manson gang killed seven people in the late sixties near her house, you would think they would get more concious of things like locking the doors after that. Are you serious? I never knew that the Manson gang killed people so close to Lucy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeySanJoaquin Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I think that's one of those "zaggerated" stories Lucy loved to tell; I find it very hard to believe that anyone famous in Beverly Hills --living right on an open street as she did -- would leave their doors unlocked at night. Just don't buy it. Now, because she had staff and she herself didn't actually lock the doors at night before retiring doesn't mean "the help" didn't bother! Come on!

They probably did lock the doors at night, but this incident happened during the daytime. Remember the story of the kook who broke into Lucy's guesthouse and phoned her from there too? Where was her 'help' then? And didn't she have some jewelry stolen from her house one time? Not all kooks and thieves come out at night ya know.

LOL I see it more as an impromptu quickie asked for by this potentate as he was driving thru L A and he just thought, hey, let's go to Lucy Ricardo's house, she'll be game for anything.

We're talking aout the early days, in the fifties, when Gloria Stewart called going to Rodeo drive going to the VILLAGE. It was a different time, a different area, but of course Lucy and Desi MOVED THERE to escape kidnapping threaths on the kids so i'm sure they were secure in a neighborhood where cops routinely stopped people for walking around at night.

Annaleigh Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ever hear some of the things she said about Desi and gary? I heard some. Can't think of any specific.

Well, what's a good mother SUPPOSED to say about a man who cheats on his wife constantly and humiliates her with these constant affairs and drinks and gambles and has all these other faults? As for the other one, i guess she saw him eliminated everybody around her that she loved fromt he Desi era, he couldn't do anything about De De though, or her kids, thank God!

Yeah, there was no such thing as being "PC" back then LOL. Makes you wonder what Desi and Gary did to piss DeDe off so much to say those things. Well...Desi and his womanizing and drinking probably didn't endear him to DeDe, but I thought she liked Gary well enough. Wonder what he did...LOL.

Well, De De, like Lucy, was one tough old broad, that generation and that New England attitude, see Hepburn and Davis, was no nonsense, take charge if you want anything done, just DO IT! I think BOSSY was the term used by her son Fred. So, when gary handed his balls over to Lucy to take charge of them, . . . well, she couldn't have admired that too much. LOL! No, i think it might have been eliminating all her old friends under the Desi regime, maybe family too, like i said earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I saw on ebay a supposed interview with Dede in Photoplay 1975 that claims Lucy is no longer happier now than she was when married to Desi.

I'm sure it's part of the fact that DeDe's daughter was Lucille Ball. She expected only the best for her daughter. Her two husbands weren't the greatest, no mother would approve. Didn't Dolores not like Lucy either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
