Elizabeth Patterson was the second oldest credited actress to appear on I Love Lucy. She was born 11/22/1874. The oldest was Dorothea Wolbert born several months earlier seen in the Lottery episode in 1955 at age 80. However Elizabeth then became the oldest in her appearance in The Bon Voyage episode in 1956 at the age of 81.

I will always Love....I love lucy, it is and always will be a classic that is simply the best..that being said shows like seinfeld and friends are amazing too, remember the 90's were very different times to the 1950's, everything was tabou then, you couldnt even say the word pregnant but you could say having a baby and you couldnt show a married couple in the same bed back then either lol...They were more innocent sweeter times .

@GoBig-jc3ir 4 года назад

@ linda ackerman I understand your comment about the difference in the times. And I do watch Seinfeld and Friends and think they're funny. But in comparison to shows like The Honeymooners and I LOVE LUCY, I just feel that they fall short on humor and context, especially because of the "tabu" stuff that the older sitcoms had to steer clear of and they still managed to be as funny as they were. But it's Ok to agree to disagree on things like this 😉 Enjoy your weekend!

@bradsmack1 4 года назад

Another great vid, Rick! Going strictly by memory, isn't Patterson's character name in "The Marriage License" ep, Mrs. Willoughby? I think it's Ricky, who characteristically mangles it a bit to "Mrs. Willoughwy." I seem to remember that, 'cause I always loved how Desi/Ricky had trouble, sometimes with names and words. BTW, I used to use Ricky's "through, threw, thruff, throw (as in cow)" routine (from whichever ep I can't remember) when I taught kiddos (you may have, too!). I'm wondering if there's something you can do with that routine, in the way of little-known info, etc, and if nothing else, highlight that scene's useful benefit for English teachers!!

He goes "N-I-C-K" , (then there's a slight pause while he listens to the operator and continues) really? With a K? Whatta ya know!" I Love that stuff. And when he would tell Lucy "Dunt make fun of my English." And she'd say, "That's English?"

@bradsmack1 4 года назад

@@GoBig-jc3ir Oh yeah, all that's really funny stuff!! Thin line they toed back then, making sure the humor was gentle enough so people wouldn't think Lucy, et al were being cruel to Ricky, or being mean. It helped, of course, that we knew they were really married, and sombreros off to Desi for being brave enough to allow his accent to be poked at for the added hilarity to the show!!

Ms. Patterson was also in “So Big” 1932 with Barbara Stanwyck. “Dinner at Eight” with John and Lionel Barrymore Wallace Beery, Jean Harlow and one of my all-time favorite actress’s Maria Dressler! Elizabeth Patterson was born in the South in 1874, she was never married and lived in the same Hollywood hotel “The Roosevelt” for over 35 years. I love that you pick other characters besides the main four and tell stories about them. I love old movies anything before 1963 and I’m crazy about Comedy sitcom‘s like I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners and The Andy Griffith Show.
