C L A U D E Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 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? Well, it was easier to respect De De than Dolores, she never did anything and only cared about her appearance and never accomplished anything, she was always in her own little world.

Taylor Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Yeah, Dolores was kind of a snob and not a very good mother to Desi. She always wanted him to buy her expensive things and it was never enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you recall, the former beauty queen was married to a doctor who became a politician and they had loads of accoutrements, houses, horses, fancy cars etc, she led a life of privilege and then it was all taken away from her and she had to come down to earth, until, years later, she got it all back again.

Amen. I respect DeDe to pieces. Lucy wouldn't be the woman she was without her. Desi was a good son to say the very least, used, but a great son.

The fact that Delores outlived Desi still shocks me to this day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chedderchester Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 "Lucy and Viv hadn't seen each other in several years." More like a few because "Viv as a friend" was taped just about 4 years before this, in late 1971 and this was in December 1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She made it into her 90's correct? 91 i think, then again, like Rose Kkennedy, everything was done for her her whole life. And she didn't drink or smoke cigars or burn the candle at both ends like her son did, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 "Lucy and Viv hadn't seen each other in several years." More like a few because "Viv as a friend" was taped just about 4 years before this, in late 1971 and this was in December 1975 Viv was on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast for Lucy taped in 1974 before Jack Benny's death and aired 2/7/75 so it was a year at most they hadn't seen each other.

leenorman Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Oh yeah, where she calls I Love Lucy the "biggest ripoff of her life." Do you have any idea what she meant by that remark?

C L A U D E Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Oh yeah, where she calls I Love Lucy the "biggest ripoff of her life." It was a comedy ROAST, so she was JOKING about that, everybody knows that show was the biggest moneymaker and success story Viv ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenorman Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Oh, now I get it; the comedy roast! Thanks for clarification.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I'm really hoping that with the release of at least PART of this great interview, it will encourage them to release more of her many interviews through the years. I know i saw one with Merv on the net that was being sold as part of a Merv package and it also was a great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenorman Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Watched this one, AGAIN...was that Lucie Arnaz over on the end, next to Zsa Zsa? Then, almost asked who the redhead in the red dress was; had missed it when they showed Zsa Zsa later in the program with her own hair exposed.

vivfantoo* Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Annaleigh, thanks so much for posting this video! I've never seen it before & loved it. It is such a treat to see Lucy & Viv together, chatting, in a casual setting like that. I've seen the clip Viv did at the roast, & I always thought she was only half joking. I Love Lucy was a huge moneymaker, but maybe not so much for Viv & Bill Frawley in proportion to how much the show made (& how much Lucy & Desi made).

What I want to know is why Zsa Zsa was there at all. She did nothing to add to the program and you can't understand a dang thing she says lol.

I believe it was an FCC requirement in the 1970s that a Gabor had to be featured on a talk show at least once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
