Lucille Ball & Shirley MacLaine

[@Dennis5051]

Lucy was 66 years old at this time, she looked AMAZING....such a beauty.

[@jagdishacharya1438]

Really, I think I will take a holiday package tour @ coffin @ the 66 year. My God, pliz help me thru time machine to1966.

[@userPs91victory]

Lucille Ball will never die! 😁😁😁😁

[@annecohen8927]

Lucille Ball and Shirley MaclLaine were absolutely sensational as a dancing 'couple'. Wow, this is unforgettable.

[@KDMDiz]

Terrific vintage video. This is from a 1976 Shirley MacLaine TV special, Gypsy in My Soul. She was 42 (and gorgeous!), and Lucille Ball was 65, and in great shape. Both amazing comedians and dancers, at any age.

[@djc6nk]

I figured it was the 70's because of the bell bottoms... Shirley MacLaine is very talented... I have seen her w Bob Flosse.....

[@djc6nk]

I forgot that Shirley MacLaine had a TV Special. Lots of people were getting them at that time: Sonny and Cher, The Osmonds, Carol Burnett of course, Dean Martin. I am sure I missed lots.

[@bryanismyname7583]

Yes, they all did specials. Sinatra, Doris Day, and even the then-new crowd like Liza Minnelli, Goldie Hawn, and others. The 60s and 70s were full of those shows. Once in a while you get one now from Seth McFarlane or Lady Gaga but there are so few who can even attempt it now and get a greenlight it's sad.

[@hektoreinpad5993]

Was only 14 that year and never seen until now (but live in Sweden sooo), but this was sooo cool

[@nancyfenity9817]

Not many know Lucy started out as a model and dancer. She was marvelous whatever she did!

[@cherylmcnutt9905]

She was absolutely beautiful in those early days!

[@susanford2388]

I had forgotten what a good dancer Shirley was. Lucy is just timeless. she moves about with grace & agility.

[@robertrobbins5691]

Lucy always said she had to work REALLY hard on dance numbers. Shirley could do it in her sleep. Love both of them.

[@yournightmareracing1754]

I'm not sure when you would have heard her say that. She started as a dancer and was silk on the stage in the 40's.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@yournightmareracing1754 Lucille started as a model and show girl. I've also heard her say that. And on one Merv Griffin show, she said, "I couldn't sing, I couldn't dance. I had to be a star."

[@yournightmareracing1754]

@@akrenwinkle Good luck to you

[@akrenwinkle]

@@yournightmareracing1754 I've noticed on these boards, "Bless you," and "Good luck," seem to be the new way of saying eff-off. Am I right?

[@illnsp08]

Thks fro sharing this timeless piece! Lucy is so amazing when dancing.

[@showtunestarpower]

I hope Shirley and Lucy had a good time together on this tv special - because I'm having a great time watching them! Thank you!

[@sugarlove]

I can not stop watching it!!! Great moment!!

[@EmmaLoveJen]

I am just so impressed that Lucy & Shirley (though especially Lucy) can kick their legs so high continually. It probably has something to do with Lucy being a showgirl/chorus girl

[@LauraGarcia-lm9pg]

The beautiful legs of both divas! Perfect! They are so funny!

[@albanymike]

Lucy was born in 1911. That means she was 66 in this clip. Wow!

[@kevp9601]

Lucille Ball in Comedy Heaven, We Miss You. :'-)

[@anelyram]

I love Lucy and Shirley!

[@jajohnson7809]

Those *were* the good old days. ❤️

[@arcencielbeautiful]

Magnifique!...Shirley Maclaine grande actrice américaine...beau duo, elle sera toujours une de mes actrices préférées,c'était quelque chose en ce temps là! Muriel

[@BostonFern]

once a dancer, always a dancer... never will be anyone like Lucy, she was the best!!

[@markmh835]

For those many of you commenting on Lucy's legs at her age (66), check out Chita Rivera's dancing legs in her later years. However, NO ONE -- no woman -- wore a top hat as well as Lucy did! Such posture! A dancer never forgets.

[@30Roxie]

Imagine them as 'Velma' (Lucie Ball) and Roxie (Shirley Maclaine) in 'Chicago'...now that would be something else!

[@renarga6886]

OMG, that would be great! :)

[@itstheburnz]

Lucy could move a bit, not really dance, couldn't sing...what are you talking?

[@deshaunx776]

Brent Edwards Are you crazy?? Lucy was a FANTASTIC dancer

[@IsThisLife09]

Two women with the best legs in the business :) I never realised Shirley was 5"7 until recently, even taller than me! Ah, you gotta love 'em!

[@cinbur4362]

literarylady, and Lucille Ball is taller!!

[@cynthiacook1646]

Look up Cyd Charisse, she was as good looking and had the legs just as she had when she was a lot younger, also.

[@TheJunebox]

those were real women.....real artists!!!!!! good video!!!! =D

[@pocm100]

bring back those good old days!!!!!!!

[@jameswilson1360]

Shirley MacLaine is the LAST GREAT STAR...…..!!!!!! Such a Talent...…!!!!!

[@anoldprestonian]

I remember seeing this on television back in the 1970's and I've never forgotten it. Great to see it again. So funny!! Why is there no REAL TALENT like this any more??

[@Kassova100]

Bravissima!! Dancing was amazing. Lucille Ball was quite a tall woman. And Shirley MacLaine and Lucille Ball performed so well together. Thank you for posting this video that was so entertaining and very enjoyable to watch!

[@kaidgardner2922]

Lucy is great always.

[@myocdtv7935]

I love these ladies!

[@frankensteindracula1]

I just loved this video of Lucille Ball and Shirley MacLaine. Enjoy the weekend Timothy. Keep up the good work.

[@Peorhum]

What a pair of legs!!

[@dawndipierro373]

Peorhum I couldn’t agree more

[@bonnieoles4212]

Peorhum, I was thinking the same thing!!

[@justme_66]

Lucy had great legs in her prime, still did at 66, just got too skinny, not bad tho

[@suzannerossiter1682]

Was just thinking that.

[@jobirgheidi]

Love these two. Real entertainers. It was a pleasure to watch this video. Thanks dudaidoj.

[@worker999alltime3]

THE DIAMONDS NEVER BE OLD!

[@jayfredman4385]

A lot of actresses got there start in musicals back in the chorus. Lucille Ball was no different. She was a song and dance girl when she was in her twenties.

[@lucyproffitt8274]

Two of my favorite ladies

[@clarrisawilkins7039]

I have been looking everywhere for this clip.

[@anirey7725]

lucille ball unica

[@MatthewPippin]

All the way until the end. You should check out here appearance with Bob Hope at the 1989 Oscars just before she died. She had beautiful legs. She was always just beautiful to me all around, anyway.

[@mariatadeo975]

Greats personalitys. I love lucy bell, she is realy extraordinary

[@cmcb09]

There's a cute anecdote from a few years before she passed, went to a party wearing a gown that displayed her legs. Noticed a young guy observing them quipped with “not bad for an old broad huh?”

[@2012leandra]

the shorts may be a little short for any other 60 year old women but lucy is not any other 60 year old women she still looked good

[@clarrisawilkins7039]

The Official Second Season of Lucille Ball's second series The Lucy Show, is coming to DVD on July 13, 2010! If you haven't seen the Lucy show it is so funny! And the second season co-stars Vivian Vance(Ethel)! Also it's in Color!

[@osvaldonakaya7533]

Adorables!

Lucy and Shirly were great people. And i love Lucy's show it was called,I Love Lucy

[@dorarebelo673]

Bring back the good old days. No kidding! :)

[@DeepaChand-lx5mr]

Only Lucy would have the cofidence to agree to dance with a much younger ❤Mclain ,known for her dancing skills and come away looking as good as her

[@dawndipierro373]

This is *GOLD!*

This after lucy broke her right leg in 4 places just before she made in 1974, and it was held together by pins and nuts for the rest of her life

[@dawndipierro373]

@@deepachand9689 Oh wow. I did not know that. God bless though.

[@stevedale8611]

I knew Lucy some....can't fathom she had the staff of color removed. No matter what you say can't be....She and MacLaine were hardly the best of friends, but the segment worked out and MacLain, I believe, earned an Emmy for this special.

[@QueenlySweetpea]

What do you mean by " staff of color " ?? :/

[@angelgstag]

That is the biggest LIE that has been written about her. Where in the world have you read or seen that?

[@EyelessRaven]

Bumping an old thread but I have to say something. I own a lot of Lucy's later shows and you can see "staff of color" onstage with her in many of them. Please cite a source.

Oh My God!!! Her legs have GOT to be fake. I was just thinking. How is she like 70 and have better legs than I do at 14. Then I remembered. Oh ya. She lived in a time of thin and BEAUTIFUL showgirls. And I was born in the time of McDonalds and Burger King.

@breezy501 Regarding your comment regarding the Shirley MacLaine/Lucille Ball clip three months ago - the year was 1977.

[@dudaidoj]

hahah I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching! ;)

[@renarga6886]

How the hell did that woman not age??? She was 66 when she made this video, still she looked better than Shirley, who was younger than her!

[@larryshaver3568]

I've often wondered that too

[@ethannielson942]

It’s called a diffused lens (and an experienced cameraman), a very good make-up Artist, and very careful lighting. Lucille Ball in person at that time looked markedly older in person than she did on camera.

[@angelgstag]

@@ethannielson942 She looked fantastic. I don’t care about the lighting and diffuser. It looked great on television! Most importantly...that dancing and moving was ALL HER and she was 66 years old! CLASS like no other.

[@rickhatch1]

Lucy could do anything.

[@MikeA15206]

Awesome!

[@storybellz]

You are right, she does look kinda like Lily Tomlin in this. But then again, I've noticed that she looks kinda like---or a lot like---Lily Tomlin in everything...

[@QueenlySweetpea]

Did you know that Shirley is Warren Beatty's older sister ..

[@margearetwilliams3779]

Both have nice legs and beautiful...

[@Jadespaniel]

OMG!!! SOO Hilarious!!!! Thanks for this! it made me laugh a lot!

[@rebaismyhero]

How did she not make it as a showgirl? SHE IS WONDERFUL!!!! Shirley is just absolutely, as sharon osbourne would say, FAAAA-bulous!

[@JudgeJulieLit]

Actually Lucy in the '30s and '40s did make it as a showgirl. At KZbin see a clip of her starring onstage in an early '40s film, dancing the "Jitterbug Bite." Then she was tall and slim, but indisputably shapely.

[@MirkodiWallenberg]

These are really old time professionals that could do it all sing, perform, act, comedy, drama, not like the fake so-called stars of today. Do you see Angelina Jolie and Sandra Bullock do this routine??? Think not!

@Italiabeefy I'm old. Way old. So old I remember this from network TV in the 70s! Lucy was a genius - on I Love Lucy. But I agree with who ever said that Beyonce, Janet and Madonna are in the same class as Lucy and Shirley! As singers and dancers. Without a doubt!

[@tommoclement]

Love both. However, poor sound.

[@kakacardinaledecampos4245]

[@jimrebr]

Shirley studied ballet from childhood through her teenage years, when she got too tall to be a ballerina.
