If I had one wish, it would be to go back in time and crash this party. Man! Look at all those legends.... with Lucille as the cherry on top! I'm star struck just watching :D
Sinatra was 69, Stewart was 75, Lucy was 73, Grant was 80, Caesar was 62, Reiner was 62, Ritter 36 (died just19 years later), Long was 34, Joan Collins was 51, Dean Martin was 67
What a gem you found. Lucy was a god given talent she was hands down the best actress of her time she could make you fall of your sit laughing and then she could change it to a tear falling down your face. I LOVE LUCY
Desi and Lucy became closer after their divorce - spoke regularly on the phone (weekly) co-parenting and Lucy regularly called for advice about shows. They visited their grandchildren together. Desi sent red carnations (her favorite) to Lucy on their Wedding Anniversary at least 15 years after their divorce. They both had successful 2nd marriages, Lucy to Gary Morton till she died and Desi with Edith Hirsch till her death. Seems like both Edie, Desi's wife, and Gary, Lucy's husband, accepted their close friendship. Actually Lucy and Edie played cards together and Desi and Gary golfed together. ❤❤❤❤ to the 4.
@@LJ-ht4zs Yes, Desi even met Edie be ever met Lucy. I know all. Gary used to call Desi Husband-in-law since he Desi was there a lot and Desi said he doesn't care what Gary thinks about him sending flowers every year on a few occasions. I am editing a lot article/dissertation about the , no matter what, it will be heartbreaking.
this is so beutifull all the greats in one room woow breathtaking how times were back then thanks alot for posting ❤👌👑 i will always love ms lucille balll
Wow, I don't think I remember this. Of course I was only 18 years old when this aired. Being 18, with a good job, driving in my very first car and My first broke up with my first girlfriend. Well I wasn't much into watching television at around that time. It was until the mid 1985 is when I was getting back into watching television. Thank you very much for posting this. I really enjoyed myself watching this.
This was ALL a delight to watch. Thank you for sharing ❤😢❤❤❤😀😀😀 I miss Lucy and all celebrities that night. I have been blessed and lucky to have been born in the late 1960s and appreciate all the classic movies and the legend of celebrities that have passed on.... the golden age.
My favorite male movie star of all time was Cary Grant (saw the movie Suspicion on the MIllon Dollar Movie on tv at least 7 or 8 timess from age 12-18. He looked great here at age 80. Still a handsome appealing man. Loved Katherine Hepburn, she was #1 female actress for me, except as I got older Lucille Ball became my favorite actress for all times.
I loved this hour special n it's still has alot to b said about Lucy she was amazing with all her talents especially her comedy there's only one Lucy n we will always love n miss her Lucie arnaz is special as well we love her 2
Thanks for posting this! I have seen it before but! this is a better quality picture & sound, I was able to pick up what they were saying more clearly in some of the background talk & funny I never noticed Dionne Warwick smoking really until now either haha. What makes me a bit sad though is how how rapidly Lucy went downhill in just the 5 years following this, It really makes ya think she would have perhaps been with us even longer if she would have quit smoking sooner ya know. Thanks again! :) p.s do you have the remaining ?
Yes, the smoking was bad for Lucy's voice, and ultimately took her life (heart issue). When Lucy and Desi were on tv they always smoked - at that time no health warnings about smoking - also cigarette companies were sponsors. Desi smoked cigarettes and Cuban cigars and died of lung cancer. My father died at age 61 - smoked since age 12. When the health warnings came out he was addicted to cigarettes - 4 packs a day! He was younger than both Desi and Lucy. Damn the cigarette companies for suppression the info about the dangers of smoking plus what chemicals they put in to make cigarettes more addictive.
As I sit and watch this, I'm naming in my head everyone I see .. They should of let Diana do her own song though..Her and Lucy performed together on tv before.. Dorothy, Bea Arthur,) Dionne Warwick put that cigarette down..
If you didn’t see it Bea Arthur was smoking a cigarette. I thought that the whole smoking thing was a joke on the Golden Girls but apparently not, hmm I guess you do learn something new everyday.
I do not know why they do not give credit or too much credit 4 Lucille Ball when she did her musical movie made I think she played it perfectly and she was more gorgeous than Angela Lansbury and others that played Mame she look gorgeous and her lying seated the good okay the singing that I can say wasn't that good but the acting and the way she looked and she was up and me and she had happy scenes sad see and very emotional sad scenes then she took it all the way to the bank please give her some credit I think she just loved me at her age which I'm not saying she was old old now but she wasn't and she was a little old she wrote beautiful she was radiant that you can say that for the other actresses that played Mame like Angela Lansbury I say again Rosalind Russell I think it was OU sucks some actresses played and it's not because I Love Lucy and I do she did so good from Comedy to drama or the same X so let's give it to her she deserves I love you I love you Lucy God bless you.🕯📺🕯👄🚬😇❤💋🕯🙏⭐💋🕯💙
Actually loved Rosalind Russell playing Auntie Mame (not a musical) also in that version like the other actors better - the nephew both younger and older and his wife, as well. I did not like some of the casting in Lucy's Mame - did not feel that the director gave it proper justice - unfortunately because of the skiing accident - the movie was put off for at least a year and she also could not be as agile - physical comedy - because of the severe leg injury. Wished she had not done it. Also, while I did not see Wildcat, have heard her sing the song "Hey Look Me Over," she was terrific - 1960 she looked good and sounded good, however, the 8 performances per week caused her physical exhaustion. While she did not get rave reviews her fans loved it and it was a sold out for the entire run - but due to exhaustion she could finish and personally gave back the money for the tickets to her fans. Also, since she had just gotten a divorce in 1960 - emotionally exhausting for both her and Desi - very sad. Both these productions would have worked if circumstances were different - less demands in 1960 and better casting and directing for Mame.
Wow....love this and seeing all the stars! I am such a fan of I Love Lucy! Love everything Lucy did! But I find it sad that Desi Arnaz was not there. I know they were divorced...... but they had two beautiful children together a beautiful family a history together and the amazing I Love Lucy show together! I think they were friends afterwards and they had their grandchildren he should of been there.
Joan Collins just had to upstage everyone when it came to clothing 😅😅 what a crowed of comedians... carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, B Arthur, Betty White and Lucy herself and many others !!
Bendito actores de hotro tiempo mejor que este ,,estrellas insuperables ,en el tiempo con sus películas ,ya no ay actores dela calidad de eyos que dios los bendiga por tantas cosas buenas que nos isieron pasar y sentir con sus actuaciones,,venezuela
Didn't see Hank Fonda or Van Johnson. Were they still alive? Hank Fonda and Lucy were very close, also close to Van Johnson, they did two movies together and he also appeared on I Love Lucy in their wonderful dance together - totally wonderful and brilliant. A+++
@@regannem Hank Fonda a Lucy did 2 movies together - The Big Street and Yours Mine and Ours; Van Johnson and Lucy did 3 movies together - Easy to Wed, Too Many Girls, and Yours, Mine and Ours - plus Van was on 2 tv shows I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show.
Seriously, why does everybody think Frank Sinatra is a great singer? All he does is recite the lyrics, like reading. That's not singing, it's the band that does all the music to the song.
