Yes I knew she was a perfectionist obsession with hair coloring but was very straightforward, know Carol Burnett, Lucy's daughter, Desi played golf with Tommie Bolt my 2nd cousin 😊 irs amazing how our lives interact 😮
The vitamin commercial.
Spot on! Lucy was a tough taskmaster who had high expectations for herself and everyone around her. Her work holds up today because of hard work and discipline and dedication to her craft.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
@@FactsVerse Love the facts about television greats.
Her own daughter has commented on the strict discipline and upbringing for her and her brother Desi jr, yet despite this, Lucille's talent was undeniable.
I loved Lucy, one of my first women, comedienne from childhood 😂❤
@@debbieochoa8525 Same here, Lucille Ball was a great actress, no doubt about it.

Know her daughter...😊
Talented people, WHEN THEY’RE IN CHARGE, are often rather NUTS when they’re not in front of an audience. But the professionals around the Star would put up with it, and in Lucy’s case, for two reasons:
1. Everyone on the set shared her interest in making the best product possible, although not necessarily to the over-the-top extent Lucy did.
BUT…
2. Lucy OWNED the place! At least she DID, lock, stock and Klieglights [although the majority of those were actually made by Mole-Richardson] after the Ball/Arnaz divorce. Before that, she CO-owned it all with Desi. Lucille Ball’s NAME was in the title of the show(s), so she absolutely had a stake in the quality of that product And it’s interesting you termed her re-staging of a scene without the Director being there as “like a factory foreman”. Between Hollywood’s Melrose Avenue studios of Desilu (located in the Southwest corner of the Paramount Pictures lot), and the Culver City “Forty Acres” Desilu lot, Desilu Productions was indeed a TV factory. Just look at the sheer number of TV shows that came out of their facilities besides “I Love Lucy”, “The Lucy Show” and “Here’s Lucy” - The Untouchables, Whirlybirds, The Danny Thomas Show, Wyatt Earp, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., Hogan’s Heroes, and BOTH Star Trek pilots (and many of the episodes), just to name a very few. There were MANY more.
When Lucy got tired of being a Studio Mogul, she sold the whole kit and kaboodle to Paramount Pictures, and was quite happy NOT to be responsible for the shows that were in production at the time, not to mention all the details, big and small, of running a Studio. She could finally relax a bit, letting someone else worry about all those things. Then all she had to concern herself with were the shows with her name in the titles (as if that wasn’t enough!). An amazing lady, to be sure.🩷
One of the funniest ladies ever to walk the earth. She was brilliant.

Also, I can't imagine watching any other tv sit com as much as I have watched I Love Lucy. Always laugh and enjoy the Fabulous Four: Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance and Wm Frawley.
Never saw or heard about Lucille Ball being a perfectionist, but I can see how she could have had that title given to her. Her appearance was always "picture perfect," a giveaway sign of a perfectionist.
I saw a clip of a rehearsal for Here’s Lucy that showed Lucy working with a very bored Jack Benny. After watching Lucy micromanage the scene a frustrated Benny announced to the cast and crew, “Would someone please tell her she’s got the job!” Priceless.
Jack Benny and Lucy were friends and next door neighbors for years - until he died.
Lucille Ball was a perfectionist! That is why her talents & her work will never be matched by anyone!
Lucille Ball is a legend. I grew up on her shows, and still watch many of the reruns. She was exemplary in her craft.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Lucy. We miss her.
Lucille Ball will always be precious to me. I will always love and miss her.
Everything mentioned here, everyone's testimony is really complimentary to Miss Ball. She knew her stuff. And look how it paid off.
Never mind the nasty bits. She was a treasure. Much loved and much missed.
One of my favourite TV shows during my childhood days. ❤❤❤
Us too! Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
She was a pioneer for women in the high level of business, Hollywood, showmanship and all done in a total man’s world. She saved an empire when Desi was distracted. She skill was magical and brought ground breaking topics to TV audience. A pregnant woman on TV was considered a NO No and yet she and Desi made it work. Time is short in the day, so she was blunt and working with folks who may not have understood the magnitude of the media. We all benefited from her work, skill and talent. Real slackers exist now and the lack of skill, talent and thought that big busts are your job skill is our sad reality.
She was paying for it. In all aspects of her life. Marriage, friendships, and literally her pocket book. One of the women who fought for woman's rights inTv.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Lucille Ball definitely knew her craft! She knew what would work, and what would NOT work! To label her as a perfectionist just means she has deep PASSION for her talent and only wanted for those around her to have that same passion! After watching this video I now have a HIGH level of RESPECT for her! Thanks Facts Verse RIP Lucille Ball You'll always be the "QUEEN OF COMEDY"😅😂😁💃🌹🙏
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
Strict perfectionists
Knowing her craft
Made her the successful comedian and business woman she is known for
She spent 20 years in movie business before her hit radio show which was transformed into a tv series thus began the legendary legacy of a a lady who we know as simply Lucy and the madcap adventures she got herself into over 20 years in television known, loved and respected by all
I miss Lucy
Thank heavens for reruns 😅
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Lucy. May she find peace 🙏
She was a real beauty and talent. I cried when she died.
Lucille Ball was a Type A personality, those are your perfectionist, your workaholic and to a certain degree bullies. When they own something especially like work, or projects it has to be done their way and their way only. There is no room for error in their world. I Love Lucy is an iconic show and it set the tone for sitcoms.
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
Lucille Ball was a real Sargent at work and with her own family. Sargent Ball. No wonder she drove Desi to drinking being married to a Sargent.
Was Lucille Ball a SIGMA female?
She was also a great beauty and walked like a woman who knew pride and dignity in herself and work. Yes, Talent we lack today
@@FactsVerse Best episode: Vitameatavegamen - have a coffee mug with her picture on front holding the bottle - saying I feel fine, but it's hot in her.
I saw Lucy on Super Password. When the contestant didn't guess the word after Lucy's clue Lucy gave her such a disgusted look. You could tell she didn't have a lot of patience. She was fascinating to watch.
Lucie Arnaz once said her mother was not a funny woman. She was a ruthless business woman who did what she had to do to get a show on the air. But look at the product she produced and how long it lasted...25 years. A rarity in the industry. I’m surprised this video didn’t mention the difficulty Elizabeth Taylor had on the “Here’s Lucy” set when she made her iconic appearance with her then husband Richard Burton. That was well documented. Most “difficult” people have the best end product. Look at Barbra Streisand. Richard Marx once commented that she can be troublesome if you come into her world unprepared. Yet Streisand has been a force for over 60 years. Vivian Vance and Gale Gordon must have adapted well to Ball’s style. They remained with her through the years and never complained about her. Lucille Ball knew what she wanted and what her audience wanted and she gave it to them and Lucy was loved.
Her mother said she wasn’t funny first. That she only delivered the lines other people wrote. She was being incredibly modest there.
She just knew what she wanted. She and Desi preferred to run each show straight through, like a play. So as it were, they wanted to get everything perfect and would do whatever it took to achieve that. However, she adored the people she worked with, and would always use the same actors in all her various tv shows. She’d never accept an award without naming them… she never considered herself a one woman show.
Lucy and Richard Burton did not get along on set because he was an alcoholic - came late to rehearsals, didn't know his lines and looked down on anyone trying to get him up to speed. In his last films he rehearsed while sitting down or lying down - too drunk to stand up - hence he died at 58 from complications due to alcoholism. BTW the Burtons asked Lucy to be on the show - most expensive ever - plus one of the best received. The reviews were over the top.
Lucy was and is the Best....most comedians have a dark side....Lucy has given us hours and years of joy...

Lucille Ball was a genius
I agree with that 100%.
Give Lucille Ball a well written script and her comic genius was easily displayed! There were many good comedy performers during Lucy's time but none of them came close to equalling or surpassing her
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
They both were committed to their craft way more than building a happy home. They weren’t alone, most Hollywood families had struggles.
It was a good thing Luci & Desi Jr had each other to go through it together..

Rob Reiner was hired as a guest on The Lucy Show. He shared that Desi Arnez really blew his top at him because in a scene during rehearsals Reiner improvised. This set Arnez off and he physically pushed Reiner up against a wall while screaming at him. Arnez said there is NO improvising! Ultimately Reiner wanted nothing to do with him despite Arnez trying to soften the blow.
Sargent Desi and Sargent Ball
@@user-fm8nf2ys2o Do you mean Sergeant?
Yes, I do
Who wouldn't push Rob Weiner against the wall.
@@user-fm8nf2ys2o Desi would really go over the top the more he drank after 1955.
When a man knows his mind he's assertive.
When a woman knows her mind she's difficult.
Lucille ball was a tough professional that strove for profection I understand by various interviews i have watched on tv and utube that lucille ball a force and a control freak good characteristics if you are starring in a tv show that even bears your first nane and if you are running your own tv sudio DESLU that she started with her 1rst husband Desi Arnes. So glad Lucy left fans with all the great body of her tv and movie performances. privately and professionally a very though lady and Carol Burnett said in a interview that the day after Lucy passed away she still received her yearly birthday flowers from Lucy.
Read her book, “Love Lucy”! You’ll love her even more!
I've heard the same rumors too. I don't know if it's true, but I was told that the low level staff at Bullock's department store were not allowed to interact with her due to her temper and that only department managers were supposed to wait on her. It makes sense if the staffer was new and wasn't knowledgeable and any mistake or delay would trigger her.
Oh, I had heard Elizabeth Taylor had some pretty "colorful" to say the least remarks about her experience with Lucille when she and then husband Richard Burton were on the set of Here's Lucy when they both guest starred on the show! Haha!
Taylor and Burton asked Lucy to be on her show and they were paid more than any other stars ever. However Burton was an alcoholic -- came on set late, drunk, didn't know his lines or mumbled his lines. Lucy called him out on it in no uncertain terms. He hated her for it "How dare she call out the great Richard Burton". The show turned out A++. In his last films he was so drunk, he had to rehearse his lines, sitting down or lying down, He died at age 58, complications due to alcoholism.
Interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info about Liz and Lucille. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@LJ-ht4zs Yes, it was said that Lucille called him out, telling him he couldn't act. If he was drunk at a rehearsal and this affected his performance, he was right. And since they were on a tight five day schedule, there was no room for "playing." TV comedy, especially with Lucille Ball was serious business.
Well, look who is on TV in every country in the world 70 years after its initial broadcast. I Love Lucy. ❤️
Lucy was my boo 😍😍😍
You could tell she was a Ball buster.
Yes. I knew all about Ms. Ball’s perfectionism, and attention to detail.
Oh c’mon now!! Leave Lucy ALONE!! WE ALL LOVE LUCY!!…. Chicken shits wait decades since Lucy’s been gone to start talking smack and bash her when she’s not here to defend herself???!!! This IS SOME BS!!
That aspect of her personality was discussed while she was alive, albeit in books about her and on interview shows. The comments about her bossiness only got sharper and deeper upon her death. That was a big problem between her and Desi when they produced "I Love Lucy". She would defer to him but was wound tighter than a drum and often had shouting matches with him on set.
Correct! Has anyone come along since to equal or top what Lucille Ball accomplished? She has left a wonderful library of comedy that continues to be The Gold Standard for all to learn from.
Lucille Ball is the greatest actress of all-time.
There's only one Lucy.
She's always imitated and never duplicated.
All your favorite comedians say Lucille Ball was their idol, for a reason!
Young comedians, take notes from the greatest of all-time!
If young comedians want to succeed - The best person to learn from is Lucy.
And a close second is definitely Joan Rivers (Joan and Aisha Tyler areo my all-time favorites in standup).
I always know it's you speaking. You pride yourself that you know the word "iconic."
Thanks for. Her story. You do your job and you would be fine with her.
Our pleasure! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Yes, I had heard or read that Lucille Ball was a perfectionist.
I agree and I dont give a crap what she may have been like to work with. All geniuses have quirky sides to their personalities or they wouldnt be geniuses😅
I Love Lucille Ball - Marc Daniels was her original Director on I Love Lucy - his son always said to him and others that Lucille Ball was the greatest actor he ever directed - and he directed the likes of Laurence Olivier, Sally Fields, Julie Harris and Paul Newman.
Sargent Ball was a drill Sargent. Also a Sargent in real life with her family. A real control freaks.
I knew that she was strict, but for good reason. Thank you for sharing this. God Bless You and stay safe
After their painful divorce, Lucy was running Desilu Studio by herself, at the same time, acting in and producing The Lucy Show, and was raising her two children.

Lucille Ball is a ledgendary woman excellent actress!! funny as hell!! I still watch I love Lucy as often as I can catch it classic sitcom she didn't play noo way!! she was indeed a perfectionist what else do you expect from a ledgendary actress? nothing but the best 😉
You cannot create that much work on film and be nice. She had a very harsh childhood with many cruel disappointments and family tragedies. The legend of I Love Lucy proves that she was right about comedy on film. Show business has no room for crybabies.
I Love Lucy!

Waiter, this food has snails in it! That scene makes me laugh out loud every time. 😂✌🏻😂
She took her anger out on others because Desi cheated on her. Not their fault Red!
I agree - also Vivian Vance was in abusive marriage as the other two marriages and she and Bill Frawley were antagonist toward each other. Plus not only Desi was a cheater he was also an alcoholic (as was Frawley) and he began acting out (on the set) by1955. However, the Fabulous Four created I Love Lucy, the best tv sit com I have ever seen. Love Lucille Ball, she had an incredibly difficult life growing up, and made music out of sadness. Each one of these performers had issues but created greatness together.
Desi was married to Sargent Ball. It is not easy to be married to a Sargent in real life.
@@user-fm8nf2ys2o
Desi was an addict: sex, booze, and gambling, before marriage to Lucille Ball, during the marriage and after it. Nothing easy - being married to an addict of one, no less all three.
No she was an evil person that’s why desi did what he did. He need love he could not get from Lucy. She was the devil in disguisen
@@LJ-ht4zs he was none of those things. He need some relief for Lucy’s meaness
I think she could be a witch & put a b on the witch word too.probably all the infidelity Desi put her though was a facture in her personality. After all how much can a woman take. He lied about his constant cheating & then he would tell her it didn't mean anything to him.women thought he was so georgous .personally I never thought he was anything special at all as far as looks. But he was talented & knew his craft extremely well. 73 yrs when I love Lucy started & still going strong what a beautiful legacy💝 just to bad their marriages didn't last. They married each other twice & I really think they loved each other very much!! I will always love I love Lucy show💝💝💝💝😁
Even her daughter described her as being hell on wheels
The amazing shows Lucille Ball churned out were because she knew more than anybody else about the business ,and she knew she could only bring out the best in others with strict discipline. The results vindicated her commitment to her craft
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and have a great day!
That's why her shows will last forever.
Ve ta Vi ta, Vitamins!!
She had a bad temper because she knew she wasn’t really funny, but had everyone fooled.
i love Lucille Ball' on the show

Yes and sge was the best!!!!
A lot of people don't know this but Lucille Ball was banned from flying TWA
Interesting, thanks for sharing this info about Lucille. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse nothing in particular. I just like this video because a lot of people don't realize Lucille Ball was like this. The Ali thing for her is a lovable character from I Love Lucy.
She was brilliant on “I Love Lucy”. The first couple of years of The Lucy Show were good. After that there was a bunch of bad scripts, cue card reading and yelling of lines.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. What is your favorite episode of the show?
@@FactsVerse There are so many great “I Love Lucy” episodes that’s it’s hard to choose just one. Instead, I’ll choose some that I love that may not get mentioned that often by other fans (in no particular order): 1) The episode where Lucy tries to sneak the cheese on the airplane is absolutely brilliant, hilarious and perfectly executed. 2) The one where Lucy and Ethel buy a freezer and then accidentally buy what seems to be a whole cow of beef. 3) The episode when Lucy pretends to go on a hunger strike in Paris so that Ricky will buy her a new dress. Again, this episode showed the brilliance of the writers and the entire cast.
The Lucy Show had some absolutely hilarious episodes, and unlike many fans my favorites aren’t necessarily in the first season, for instance the episode where Lucy and Viv are competitors in a baking contest and of course their rivalry gets the best of them. The one where Lucy poses as an aid in the hospital to secure Mr. Mooney’s signature for a loan. The scene where the hospital staff is chasing Lucy in the wheelchair is flat out hysterical. Then there’s the episode where Lucy looses her contact lens in a cake that she’s baked for Mrs. Mooney. Also the episode where Lucy and Viv are cooks at the boys camp, and Harvey Korman is the camp leader. Anytime you put Lucy and Viv in the kitchen together, it was comedy gold.
Those episodes imho, rival some of the best episodes of “I Love Lucy”. When you’re watching The Lucy Show you especially relish the first two and half seasons with Vivian Vance because you’re aware of how awful the ensuing seasons will be.
What made the Lucy Ricardo character enjoyable is that not only was the initial premise for each episode believable, the character was clever and resourceful. By the same token in the first few seasons of The Lucy Show, the premise for each episode was believable, and while the Lucy Carmichael character was not quite as clever as Lucy Ricardo, she was crafty. However, the later iterations of the Lucy character were an adult who was simply dumb, often not displaying the intelligence of an older child.
The situations were contrived for any desperate attempt for a laugh via some ridiculous sight gag. One week you had Lucy being a meter maid. The next week she was an airline stewardess. The next week she was a stuntman in a movie . The following week she’s back to working in the bank. An absolute disaster of a show.
We'll I'll be a monkey's grandson. I always thought little Rickey was Lucille and Desi's real son.
Desi Jr was a baby then for I love Lucy of course... but nice that Desi Jr and sister lucie starred w her on Here's Lucy..and . strict w them 2 to get it right:) they learned alot from her.
Lucille Ball became controlling once Desi Arnaz was out of the picture. She knew she had to take over because it was her "arse" that was on the line, not only for the success of the show, but due to her position and value to CBS. One of the things that outsider may not realize is that in a "glamor profession" such as this, there are a number of talent and capable people as well as a lot of mediocre people who managed to "skate through" on the coat tails of others. They had poor work habits and would not be prepared. In an environment where a show has to be done in five days, a great deal of organization is necessary in order to have an efficient production. That's why people needed to be on their toes with Lucille Ball. Aside from doing her show, she was also running Desilu. So her time was very precious. In spite of the outward "fun," this was a serious business. But it worked. They completed a show before a live audience within an hour or so. Now I understand the filming for live audience shows can go as late as from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. That is an example of the contrast in professionalism and work ethic.
Thanks for providing more context! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?

I am a huge lucy fan but i am not sure i would want to work with her I have heard she was difficult to work with
I know she was banned from one airline because she was so hateful to the crew working. Somewhere a flight attendant or someone asked her what she wanted to drink or eat and a woman who was serving as Ball's assistant told the woman that Miss Ball didn't speak to the help.

This isn't new news. I've heard Lucy was difficult for over a decade. We seem to forget to credit writers and directors for their work. We tend to focus on actors. I believe even Lucy stated she wasn't funny. She is just able to ACT. We often ignore these people as individuals. But rather as their characters. Yes, she has a lot of power behind the scenes. But, she didn't write everything she ever said. She wasn't improv. Realistically, she only really did one thing in all her shows. Which, as a thinking man. Gets old. Don't get me wrong. I can enjoy her show. But, only periodically. As it's a ton of sameness. Which, would make sense. If she wasn't naturally funny. She may not be able to expand her comedy. And it was easier to just do the same thing since it worked anyway. Except her later years. Where she has some failures. Perhaps, Bec of her age or people finally getting a bit burned out for the sameness of it all. Plus, she couldn't do the physical humor as well as her health failed. Mind you, I am someone that watched a TON of tv. And can easily predict shows. Which, makes me harder to please than others. That may be able to turn it off. (Their mind) and just enjoy the show. This is partly my own fault as I am always on the defense. As well as a way to keep myself from being suspectable to propaganda. Which is often used in TV. Not specifically, talking about Lucy's shows. But, definitely in other shows. Over the last 30 years or even now.
No one is ever one thing…In show business…The one’s without thick skin…You wouldn’t survive
Interesting enough, I never thought her to be funny at all. I watched the show for Ethel and Fred who were funny and made the show.
Interesting, thanks for sharing your info. What other types of video would you like to see?
But, she was so set in her ways that she was only open to doing rhe same routines over and over until all freshness was gone!! Eventually lacking all creativity...
LUCILLE BALL HAD TO BE A STRONG WOMAN BECAUSE SHE HAD TO TAKE CHARGE OF HER PRODUCTION COMPANY! THIS WAS HANDED DOWN FROM HER FROM DESI ARNAZ!
These back stories and anecdotes ruin the lustre the tele-watching public has over these performers. These things do not need to be publicized. These shows and stars entertained us one and all. Certain information that may darken their images and reputation should remain insider info and not made public. Think about it, who gives a flying fku?! They worked hard at keeping public entertained, and we did love them. Whats the use of airing old dirty laundry?
Keep all that old s$@t in the closet. A little mystery goes a long way, i say!
when a man did the exact same thing there would be no video about it,
Well not so noteworthy or honorable is how she treated outside clerks & workers. She would vacation at Vale for skiing and it has been told the workers at the hotel were treated like second class citizens. Looks like the only one who had control of her was Desi. 😏
She’s been dead how long? 🙄
34 years
Since 1989.
I think she died sad and 😞 @@user-fm8nf2ys2o
I Love Lucy was funny. Every interview I ever saw her in, she wasnt funny. She was a grouch.
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@FactsVerse
The episode where she got a sunburn but had to model a wool dress.
Yes, Sharksport01, I remember when she admitted herself that she WASN’T funny ! The writers made her that way. And in regards to stunts done on her shows, one of the writers stated there was NOTHING she wouldn’t DO ! (Daughter Lucie said she wasn’t funny too !)
I'm tired of all this b.s. surrounding this once glorious Hollywood icon. Lets move on already! Ladies milestones are far behind us. Enough! Time to turn the page...
Well what do you expect when she had a husband who was a womanizer,an alcoholic and a gambler?
terrible, redundant scripts
Bette Davis was another one famous för often being very rude to her colleagues. She could be charming when she wanted to though. 😉
Lucy and Bette were impatient people especially when it came to 'slow thinkers' and above all, to those who hadnt done their homework or were unpunctual.
Know who else has a commanding presence, high expectations & pursues perfection?? Millions of women on the planet!!! Who cares about Lucile Ball?? She's been dead for 34 years & Gen X & Z could care less
