Whatever Happened to The "I Love Lucy" cast? (Jerry Skinner Documentary)

[@mwhyoungevity8090]

I remember these shows as a child when I thought life was eternal. Now I'm 57 and I realize life is fleeting and so short from a physical point of view. Thanks for the insight on these wonderful creative people Jerry. For awhile, some of us will not forget.

[@mariyaa111]

I love the voice of the narrator!!! He sounds like a sweet grandfather who could tell you stories about the good ole days ❤

Jerry is a great guy. I chated with him once on-line. He was at one time a Private Detective by trade.

I Love Lucy is my all-time favorite show. This is a really fabulous documentary - so informative and well put together. I think any criticisms in the comments section is because we have become accustomed to everything being so fast -paced in terms of the action and the narration. This was a refreshing change. I am eager to check out more of your work, Jerry.

Your videos are always well researched and fascinating Jerry but you've surpassed yourself with this gem. I recall as a child my parents watching various Lucy shows. I think that she was a groundbreaker in terms of American comedy crossing to Britain. Happy New Year Jerry.

Thank you! I liked the show in reruns as a kid, but really like them even more now. NIce narration! Keep it up.

[@debbiebouvy-kruger5787]

This was a very lovely video. Thank you Mr Skinner for creating such a loving tribute to America’s favorite 4some. I thoroughly enjoyed this & learned so much.

[@LemonTubeAmiga]

I probably wrote this already on another comment, but I only really got into Lucy last year after I started watching Mission: Impossible, and found out she green lit the project, and Star Trek, even though both shows were making a huge financial loss, she kept those going for many seasons. After finding out that she made these shows possible, I went back and watched many of her wonderful screwy B&W movies, and found so much fun in those that I kept watching them. I think I heard she was good friends with Ginger Rogers, and they were in the same acting school, and became friends. Dont know if I remember this correctly but it would account for their similar comedy timing and funny faces. I've never seen one episode of I Love Lucy, but yes she pioneered the camera and studio techniques that TV shows use to this day. What a marvelous lady! Thank you for this timely documentary and insight into the lives of all those who made this happen. It seems her impact on Television is second only to Hedy Lamarr, who invented mobile technology, GPS and WiFi.

[@JerrySkinner1943]

+LemonTubeAmiga Thank you Lemon. Jerry

[@JerrySkinner1943]

+synthoify Thank you, it was you that took the time to watch. Thanks again. Jerry

[@jameswarner300]

Jerry you have a beautiful voice, but I have a question, are you going to do one on the 70's show "Good Times"? My reasoning, is because the cast of that show is very unique, in that everybody from that cast except Ester Rolle is amazingly STILL alive. No other show from that long ago can say that. From John Amos, Jimmie Walker, Janet Dubois, Janet Jackson, the janitor(I forget his real name), and even the woman that played Janet Jackson's abusive mother that daughter later in life became a famous actress herself. Seems nobody has done a story on such a unique TV show where the entire cast is still alive from so very long ago....

[@JerrySkinner1943]

Thank you James for suggesting it. I will take a look, sounds interesting. Jerry

[@conniecharley7086]

I forgot Lucy had a second husband perhaps when she said that it wasn't her first husband she was referring to. I thought they were great together. HE really did do great things without this video I would not have known much more about Lucy. This person who talked on video has a great voice like to hear him in many western stories. Thanks for the information on our stars we enjoyed so much.

[@lynnmacdonald8969]

I always loved her in every one of her shows.When I was growing up a family of 6 , rotating my TV time when it was my turn, was watching her. My father claimed to hate her, because in his words she was a loudmouth, "loud mouth.I always laughed though. "A loudmouth redhead" Sinse it was my half just before his, he eventually enjoy, and watch, She gained another star.

I remember hearing she died on the radio going to work. At the time I lived near Hollywood Blvd and that evening walked up to her star where there was a mountain of flowers and some one had rolled out a huge roll of white paper and everyone was signing words of tribute to Lucy. I did also and wonder today what ever happen to that roll.

I always assumed he had Parkinson's

[@makepeace234]

No, he lacks the other characteristics of Parkinson's: inability to swing arms while walking, & "pill rolling" motion of fingers, as well as uncontrolled movement of head,neck shoulders. These symptoms would be present in Parkinson's disease. He only displays hand tremors from mild DT's as he was forbidden to drink when on set. He probably had a bottle waiting for him when he got home, which would have prevented full on DT's. (as a nurse I've seen both) Tough guy, that would be hard, working with DT's, bless his heart......

My father's best friend Dick burright told me and my brother, (who were avid I Love Lucy fans) many years ago about walking down Hollywood Boulevard in 1966 and an old man had crumpled and fallen to the ground, and he and his friend ran to help and sure enough it was William Frawley. He died in his arms from a heart attack

[@patrickjones7188]

Lucille Ball tested for the part of Scalett O'Hara. She was also a registered communist. I believe it was Walter Winchell who exposed her. However, when she was called to testify, she explained that her grandfather (a communist) made her register with the party when she was 18. But that was the extent of her involvement in the party. She never attended any meetings. As part of her contract, Vivian Vance always had to be over-weight, which was insisted upon by Lucille Ball. I heard on another show (I think it was Mysteries and Scandals) that Vance thought Lucille Ball was a bitch.

[@damsbaug33]

+Ferdinand Celine That clause about Vivian Vance being overweight is just an urban legend. Check it out on snopes.com. Also, Vance had issues with William Frawley (Fred), but not Lucy.

[@Danny-gu8rs]

+Ferdinand Celine I think it would have come more from people such as Joan Crawford (I read somewhere years ago)because Lucy didn't agree with some of her ways or ideals. That surprised me when I found Crawford had been invited to an episode of The Lucy Show.

[@damsbaug33]

TEDDINGTON TELEVISION No. As I said before, it was NOT in the contract that Vance stay heavier than Lucy. That is an urban legend. www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/vance.asp

[@damsbaug33]

TEDDINGTON TELEVISION And if you actually watched that Dinah Shore show, you will see that they are referring to a joke contract that Lucy made up. Urban legend. Not fact. Stop saying otherwise until you have proof other than your flapping gums.

[@damsbaug33]

TEDDINGTON TELEVISION From IMDB: Legend has it that a clause in her television contract required her to stay 10 pounds heavier than costar/producer Lucille Ball. Actually, this contract never existed, at least not in legal, binding form. It was a mock contract given to Vance by Ball as a gag gift sparking the legend it was a real contract.
