@@mattr3250 that is true, in my culture and also my own morals, that is true also. I don’t know how Lucy lasted 20 years in that marriage, it was very toxic at times…. I know Lucy was hurt so very badly by Desi…. Over and over and over again, until she simply couldn’t take the hurt any more, she wanted to be totally alone after because it was so painful she said (of course it turned out differently) ….. When she submitted her papers for the divorce, the reason she listed was “it’s been a total nightmare” 💔😢 …….. BUT, we have to understand also that it was Desi’s culture. (Not making excuses for him as he was also a heavy drinker/alcoholic, I think drinking in excess was his main problem, infidelity a close second ) …. But He literally came from a culture where it was normal for men of wealthy families to have a mistress (or many of them) …. This mistress often had many children with these wealthy men, they would have a “big house” for the wife and kids, called “Casa Grande” and the “Little house” was called “Casita”….. it was for the mistress and her kids… If you are interested in all things Lucy and Desi…. Check out the podcast called “The Plot Thickens” by TCM…… it’s SO GOOD!! I thought I knew everything about Lucy and Desi but I’ve learned SO MUCH from this podcast!! (I sound like an infomercial, I don’t mean too hahaha 😂😂) Anyways….I’ve listened to the entire series, start to finish ( several times) because I enjoyed it so much!! It talks all about their story from start to finish…. It talks a lot about the Cuban culture and how he came from extreme wealth (his mother was heir to the Bacardi Rum Company) …….before they were thrown out of Cuba…. He came to the USA with nothing but the shirt on his back, with his dad… Also in his culture, wealthy boys as young as 15/16 were often taken to brothels to lose their virginity…. It was normal to them and typically it was the uncle that would take the boys (that’s what happened with Desi)…. So for the rest of his life… he went to brothels, as though it were normal….he would say to Lucy in fact “they’re just prostitutes Lucy, it means nothing”…..(makes me so sad for Lucy even writing that myself 😢💔) I always get sad when I think of Desi and Lucy. They never truly got over each other (many of their friends have said this also) and several of their friends have said that Lucy never really was in Love with Gary, her second husband…. He made her laugh and gave her the security/stability that she craved …. But it wasn’t the level of love she ever had for Desi…. My own father was a terrible alcoholic…. And also an all around terrible person altogether and a horrible father….. Desi wasn’t like that… he had his demons for sure….but when he was with his kids, he was really present with them, he played with them and cooked with them… etc… (even as adults) but at heart (as confirmed by many) he wasn’t a bad person. I think he was a victim of what he had been through as a young adult…and in a way…. A victim of his culture too….and of course a victim of his disease, Alcoholism. But I really feel deep inside, Desi was an amazingly talented person with a kind and generous heart. Very sad 💔💔💔😢

When I moved into a "Seniors Only" building (you must be 62 or older to live here), ten years ago, we had a lively discussion in our Commons Room about "I Love Lucy," which we'd all seen "First Run," back in the day. Lucy stomping grapes with an Italian woman, getting drunk on a "Vitameatavegimin" commercial, and the chocolate factory are true comedy classics. BTW, here's an odd fact: big city water departments all over the country had trouble with a huge pressure drop while "I Love Lucy" was on-----because everybody had to wait until commercials to make a break for the bathroom! All those toilets flushing at once drove water departments _NUTS!_ (There were only three commercials on half-hour programs in those days: at the beginning, middle, and end and most shows had only one sponsor, Like Old Gold cigarettes on Lucy's show.) Stay safe, everyone.

The studio and Federal Government couldn't touch Lucy. Lucy was and still is the biggest star we ever had. She blazed a trail. Carol Burnett, Mary Tyler Moore and everyone else down the line owe their careers to the road Lucy paved for them. The first woman to run a studio. Look at the film of the 1989 Academy Awards when Lucy came out with Bob Hope. Lucy received on of the biggest if not the biggest ovation ever at the Oscars.

I already knew there was trouble in Ricky and Lucy's marriage you can look at the Lucy show and tell that, because even when they were doing a Lucy show and whenever there was a beautiful slender woman involved on the show Lucy would get so jealous because she knew she could not trust her own husband in real life, but whenever there was a fat woman or a old woman that played a part with Ricky Lucy did not care because she knew Ricky did not fall for those type of women so she was never jealous of them, but she wasn't going to trust him being around those beautiful women, even on the Lucy show, even though they tried to make it out of a comedy so people wouldn't catch on what was going on in their marriage in real life, but you can read between the lines that there was something going on because when there was a beautiful woman that played in Ricky's nightclub and whenever he danced with one of those ladies Lucy would always come to his show and try to spy on him, even though they try to make it seem like it was part of the show it was Lucy not trusting her own husband. What a terrible marriage she had

I have read over the years that Lucy was one tough boss to work for. And I guess in the time that she achieved her success she had to be. She was a woman and one at the time was a male world I’ve entertainment. I will say that I’m glad that things ended the way they did with her and Desi. Too many people would’ve held grudges and nursed her feelings for decades. Many would have died still doing that. I’m glad that the two of them or at peace when he passed. She was truly a one-of-a-kind lady. She was a rare talent that you don’t see anymore in movies or television. The world is a much darker place after she passed. I still enjoy watching the reruns of I Love Lucy or here’s Lucy or the Lucille Ball show. I listen to the radio program that they reference in here. SIRIUSXM plays it on their radio classic Channel. We should check it out it is definitely worth a listen. Her son will go on to have a short-lived television series of his own. It was called automan.. It was not good LOL I don’t know what her daughter end up doing. But it’s clear that they did not fall and they’re famous parents footsteps.
