With reality, as this story proves the reality is it wasn’t innocent at all. Nothing wrong that we are more honest with ourselves today, & nearly as racist.

[@islgrl292]

@JAMES SMITH , my recollection of the this innocent “era” was the now underground racism, you know as a a child I watched Eisenhower send in troops to Little Rock, so a few black children could go to white schools. In high school I was shocked to hear blacks weren’t entitled to vote, & all that came with the Civil Rights Movement. Then their was the Red hunt of McCarthyism. This statement is the epitome of what Trump tries to sell. Tired of all the denial. I am happy our warts are showing. Decision Time for Americans. I miss the 50’s, as a white kid, but I noticed, & cared when the warts showed. I couldn’t understand, still don’t, & I shall we get into women, as in my state of Texas we are barreling backward to the those “good old days”, where a 13 year old has to deliver her rapists baby! I am dismayed with all we know how IGNORANT we are, & pine for some warped vision of the past, instead of plowing through a good future for all Americans. Thanks for the opportunity.

[@dorothyzbornak9974]

With so much respect to Nicole, it's been documented that the reason that Lucy insisted that Desi play her husband, was to keep him from cheating on her while being on the road touring with his band. And the reason the relationship didn't last was because of his cheating and his drinking...she simply couldn't take it anymore. All of this was depicted in a documentary about them that was beautifully done. And THE single most heartbreaking bit of that film, was when the two of them, already divorced, were at their daughter's house in the swimming pool with their grandchildren, and Desi's wet hair gets in his eyes. Lucy gently pushes his hair to the side...with so much love. It was gutwrenchingly sad.

[@RJS1974]

Yes this is how it’s depicted in the movie.

[@Historian212]

I thought that documentary was excellent, very touching and sad. I was never a fan of the show, but I admire all that Lucy accomplished, and also her performances in movies, especially in the 1930s. She’s in a Marx Brothers movie, and a great Katherine Hepburn classic called Stage Door. She was beautiful, sassy, and funny.

Lucy is my favorite comedienne! Their time was before mine, but I've always watched the reruns. Carol Burnett is more my time & my 2nd favorite only because of Lucy. I love that they were great friends & that Lucy helped school Carol on being in charge of her business w/no apologies. I'd heard that Lucy always sent flowers to Carol on her birthday. Lucy died on Carol's birthday & later in the day her flowers arrived. Lucy & Desi had fire for each other & genuine respect for each other. Even after the divorce & forever, they loved each other. It was beautiful seeing them as grandparents spending time together in the pool with the kids. The marriage didn't last, but the love did.

I watched the tv series as a child. One of my favorite scenes was Lucy and Vivian placing chocolates into boxes on the conveyor belt which sped up. Hilarious! I decided a long time ago that I would watch reruns of the Lucy show if seriously sick bc comedy/laughter is needed to heal.Apparently, Henry Fonda had an attraction for Lucille Ball. Too bad she didn't negotiate for royalties when the show ended. Lucy missed out on a lot of money she could have earned passively. In an interview after she married her second husband Garry, Lucy said Desi was a loser. Desi Arnez sabotaged what they worked so hard to build up bc he never saw himself having that much success...Desi needed to destroy any gains, feeling more comfortable with owning very little. What a liability he must have been at times bc of his behaviors. In the 60s, Lucy was a nontraditional (working) mother, business manager, and pioneering comedianne in a culturally mixed marriage. She was an iconic, fiery redhead! Truly unconventional.❤️

Gotta say, I turned off this movie after 15 minutes. Nicole just looked so strange and her acting was so stilted, unlike the Nicole in EVERY OTHER FILM I have ever seen her in (I am a HUGE FAN of hers. I will watch this woman read a grocery list and be mesmerized the entire time). Wait a minute, don't go away yet. A friend posted on Facebook about how great he thought this movie was, and even though he was NOT a fan of Nicole, he loved her work in this (by the way, we are all theater actors, so we have educated opinions about this). I said to him "Are you kidding?? It was AWFUL, I had to turn it off after fifteen minutes!". His reply, "Try again". After some discussion, and watching Lucy Arnaz's delightful review of the final product, I gave it another go. It was wonderful. I had tears in my eyes at the end. Nicole and Javier and the people who played Fred and Ethel were brilliant. I realized that it was just hard for me to let go of the originals, I love them so much. It's truly uncomfortable to see someone else try to be them. They CAN'T be them, no one can. But, they can tell the story, which is what they did, and they did it brilliantly. And of course, my much beloved Nicole did a stellar job, as she always does. (Except - she's getting too skinny!! Eat something, Nicole! I know you chase after children all the time, and well done on that. Eat some of their kid food! lol XOXO).
