a favorite of Walt Disney's, She voiced the fairy godmother and 'Cinderella' and introduced Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo to the world. She voiced Flora, one of the three good fairies, and Queen Leah in 'Sleeping Beauty', Aunt Sarah in 'lady in the tramp', the queen of hearts in 'Alice in wonderland', Winifred in 'jungle book', and Mrs Jumbo and the matriarch elephant in 'Dumbo'. She and Walt Disney died a day apart.
That’s crazy. Queen Leah’s voice is sadly a mystery. Jane Fowler could have been Queen Leah since she modeled this character btw, nothing against Felton.
Just loved Verna Felton , cracked me up how Lucy was completely docile to her, Verna also played the lady who Lucy tried to sell a vacuum to in the Sales Resistance episode, Lucy down on her knees to pick up the handful of dirt she threw on the carpet, hilarious how Verna stood over her with those angry eyes, between her- don't mess with me - look and her incredibly baritone voice, Verna was quite busy in Hollywood, great character actor.
She was also Lily Ruskin's (Spring Byington) best friend Hilda Crocker on "December Bride" back in the 1950's. That sitcom introduced Harry Morgan, as next door neighbor Pete Porter, to many of us.
Usually, there are some hours off during a maid's hours of duty, so it's not all drudge. The more the day's hours are spread, the more time off there is in between. A good schedule is from 8 to around 1.30, and that includes making breakfast and a simple lunch, and cleaning certain rooms on certain days. There is time off after lunch, and depending on the dinner schedule the time to resume, if you have a more or less full time. Most have a woman or a man in for certain days. I couldn't stand for someone to underfoot all day, everyday. Mine is here for 3 days a week, and she and I make it a point to be keep out of each's ways. I either take care of Church needs or go to the market. The other day I stay upstairs, as she is busy in and around the kitchen.
I wish i had a maid cause I hate to clean house...but i force myself to do it and listen to music while i do it. Am elderly and hard time walking...but i feel so happy to get things done...i make a schedule and it works for me...then i reward myself by laying down on the couch..building a fire and then watch I love Lucy...then i am happiet.
Verna Felton usually played gruff, no nonsense characters on TV but the film "Picnic" showed her softer side, portraying the sweet, spinster neighbor who has the hots for William Holden.
@@02chevyguy Bewitched also paid homage to Lucy’s Job Switching episode and the candy factory with “Samantha’s Power Failure”, Season 5 episode 25. It features Serena and Uncle Arthur dipping bananas in chocolate. It’s hilarious! 😊
Lucy was afraid to fire her. Ricky refused (until the end) to do it for Lucy. Ethel also said no when Lucy asked her to do it. I was thinking, how about asking Fred to do it for five bucks. I'm sure Fred would have gladly done it for some money. And that's just a small price to pay considering all the money the maid was costing with her salary and eating all their food. Sure a lot better idea than trashing the apartment like they did!
Trashing their own apartment, including spreading peanut butter on the walls, is one of many things that showed the disconnect between show people and something vaguely resembling reality. I read that Judy Garland enjoyed food fights and had servants to clean up afterward... so why not?
@@mircat28 plenty of people have more kids and she can’t handle one ? And besides Ricky’s always talking about spending less money 💰 and they have enough money to hire a maid ?
They live in a 2 bedroom apt. After they had the baby a small bedroom magically appeared right off the master bedroom. I'd call it a half bedroom and you have to walk thru the master to get to it. Strange set design.
Laundry takes awhile. No dryer so it has to be hung on a line. Cold or wet it goes on lines in the kitchen. In reality she doesn't need a 10 hour a day maid for 6 days a week. The same way Ricky doesn't need to go to the club every day to rehearse but nobody questions that.
I love how the maid stops dead in her tracks when Lucy mentions the baby, as if someone threw cold water on her, one of my favorite top ten episodes. Ironic how the real Lucille ball would have not given it a second thought to terminate , according folks who knew her.
Jammy joe DEAR?....... & because i have...... "The Complete First Season on a 7-disc-dvd-box-set since...... 3-18-2011 of the I Love Lucy" (1951 - 1957) for some reason i thought at one time it was in color wasn't it? p.s i don't watch I Love Lucy anymore do you?
It is recorded over a TV set clip. No more free " I Love Lucy" full episodes on CZcams. Now we gotta pay to rent or buy the episodes. So much greed and abuse.
@@elizabethroberto7862 The I Love Lucy (1951 -1957) was shot in black and white. Hardly anyone who had a TV in the 1950's had a color TV. 99% of the TV's in the 1950's transmitted black and white only and were unable to transmit shows in color unless you had a color TV which was much more expensive. Most TV shows in the 1950's and early 1960's were shot in black and white anyway. We had a black and white TV throughout the 1950's and 1960's. We eventually won a color TV in a raffle and by 1967 most of the TV shows were shot in color. Lucy's later shows without Dezi Arnaz in the mid 1960's and 70's were shot in color.
“Who takes care of HIM?!” Immediately hears Queen of Hearts voice
OH MY GOD that IS her!! XD
She also the fairy godmother and one of the good fairy’s from sleeping beauty Disney legend
The one and only Verna Felton. She voiced numerous voices in Disney cartoons/movies.

Its 2020 and I still Love to Watch I Love Lucy. This episode was on this morning.
I wish we got it in the U.K.!
Mrs. Porter was Wilma Flintstone's mother.
Pearl Slaghoople : D :D :D
And the two characters were quite identical in their domineering personality!
8:30 in the morning until 8:30 at night, dang those are long hours!
Yeah. Too long!
that's what I thought too! 12 hours!

Kind of "sweat shop" hours.. LOL
@@alwellus you have a maid 2021 !!!
“And what do I call you?” LOL
Same line and response was used in the TV series "Maude" when Maude hired a maid.
Mrs Evans
I wish i had a maid cause I hate to clean house...but i force myself to do it and listen to music while i do it. Am elderly and hard time walking...but i feel so happy to get things done...i make a schedule and it works for me...then i reward myself by laying down on the couch..building a fire and then watch I love Lucy...then i am happiet.
I meant Happier.....
That sounds nice 🌹
you do know Lucy had a schedule
Verna Felton usually played gruff, no nonsense characters on TV but the film "Picnic" showed her softer side, portraying the sweet, spinster neighbor who has the hots for William Holden.
ONE OF MY favorite episodes, mrs porter is a hoot
Mrs. Porter is Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother 🧚🏼♀️ 🏰 🐭🐭🐭
the fairy godmother when she's a little bit cranky
Verna Felton! I remember her well from December Bride.❤️
12 hours a day? The maid was right to lay down the law first.😃
That is too many hours.
She sure is making a lot of demands for what they have in the household.
@@Michelle-pn9xt golly gee ya think?!
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 Yeah.
I like the bewitched version of this script too.
Maude has the same scene when Bea Arthur hires a no nonsense maid.
Season 5 ("Samantha's Super Maid").
Yes! I do as well. It’s almost exactly the same .

Lucy: "I didn't know this woman was a control freak."
The voice of the matriarch elephant in Dumbo, the queen of hearts from Alice In Wonderland,
Verna Felton. Also Flora from Sleeping Beauty.
@@mca1218 and another elephant Winfred from The Jungle Book.
And also, the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella 😊
Wow
And the Aunt with the Siamese cats from Lady and the Tramp.
What an awful job. Maids were worked terribly hard.
Verna Felton! ♥️

She on I love lucy when Lucy tries get rid a vacuum
Why does Lucy need a maid?
Baby and housework she can't keep up. She's very tired Ricky said get a maid[
@@mircat28 plenty of people have more kids and she can’t handle one ? And besides Ricky’s always talking about spending less money 💰 and they have enough money to hire a maid ?
If mrs. Porter said if she didn't have the salad shede starve after she ate half a roast
im not going to lie i would act like lucy if that happen to me
Me, too. I,m embarrassed to say it. I have no spunk. Lol! 🤪
LOL 😁😁😁😁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love Verna ❤️
12.5 hrs?! Slave drivers!
Right?! And only 1.5 days off a week!
Notice how Lucy leaves the baby with the babysitter who don't want to take care of the baby yikes
Weird that I'm watching the episode where Lucy's wearing the same dress n the same actress(not a maid this time) but trying to sell vacuums.
They live in a one bedroom apartment. What is she doing for 12 hours?
Thinking of ways to aggravate Ricky. 🤣
They live in a 2 bedroom apt. After they had the baby a small bedroom magically appeared right off the master bedroom. I'd call it a half bedroom and you have to walk thru the master to get to it. Strange set design.

@@mircat28 If I remember correctly, the Ricardos change to a bigger apartment after they had the baby. There's an episode of that.
👏👏👏

As soon as she refused to take care of the baby I would have said in that case get out leave
why would you want someone else taking care of your baby??
A maid does not take care of kids.
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 It is okay to hire someone to do that, but maids don't do it. Some women have jobs.
@@Michelle-pn9xt dont I know it!! but she's home full time. why would someone else care for the baby??
It was a television show, take it easy. 🤣
the film looks kinda "ODD" like it was recored off of a TV set cause i "ALREADY" know how old it is.
