I used to work at Paramount studios and as an employee, we always learned about the history of the place. Back in her day, Lucille ball had a production office on the lot. (In fact, the Lucy building still exists.) Her offices were in an area of Paramount that was also RKO Studios which I believe she and Desi owned. What people don’t realize is that she established a child day care center on the studio Lot that still exists today for employees and their children. She created it for her staff and other employees who had to work crazy hours so that they could still be with their kids during the day. So hearing her talk about working and taking care of kids in this discussion is very meaningful considering what she did at Paramount.

What a wonderful story! I grew up watching I Love Lucy (in reruns) and cannot remember not knowing her. But as I grew older, I didn't have a terribly high opinion of her, for some reason. This interview has completely changed my point of view, and particularly what she had to say about working women and children. The story you shared is "the cherry on top"!

Lucie Arnaz was very engaging and well spoken. Carol was such a fun interview. Lucille a class act.

The intelligence of Lucille Ball goes under rated. Heres a small hint of her greatness😉. In the 1960s "Star Trek" was turned down by every Studio in Hollywood. When it was pitched to her company Desilu, she signed it up instantly. If Lucille Ball hadn't of seen its potential and believed in it when no one else did. "Star Trek" wouldn't be known today. Its difficult to comprehend a World without "Star Trek" and the massive Sci Fi franchise we know it today not being in existence. It's existence is all is due to a wise decision from the Legendary "Lucille Ball" she had both brains and beauty in an era and industry dominated by men👏👏👏

Lucille Ball was strikingly beautiful. She had gorgeous eyes.

@T Z, you are, 80+ years later, in agreement with the top cinematographers and photographers of the Golden Era of Hollywood. They nicknamed her 'Technicolor Tessie' because her coloring was perfect for testing the then newly emerging color film stocks. She was their top model. In August 1943 (her birthday month) Life magazine dedicated an article to her and started it by describing her as "a colorful girl". Beyond that, she was an extraodinarily successful entrepeneur at time when the guys running the business assumed women were suited only for secretarial work. I have a LOT of admiration for her and what she accomplished.

This show is 50 years old this year (2021). I watched from beginning to end and thoroughly enjoyed it. This was class.

@@helenf.7221 I think its ok to verbalize if she was put in any positions that were uncomfortable. This happens every day but it's not on the news. Ball was a strong and powerful woman. When you get a little older, you get some moxie and don't take any s@#t. I'm sure she didn't take any crap. She may have been put in those positions as a youth - clearly she wasn't going to address it. When she got a little older she had Desi who was a womanizer - of other women but his presence in her life was some protection from those behaviors from other men. When she got older still she had Gary but by then she was old and a powerhouse. She wasnt getting pressured for anything. Even Nicole Kidman said, one of the positives about being with Tom Cruise was men / producers etc. left her alone. Not fair but a reality for women. Listen to Rose McGowan talk friend.

It would have been essential for almost everyone in the 70s & 80s. Can you imagine having had a really expensive camera. Then interviewing your dad & asking him all sorts of questions. And he told you about his most precious moments when he was on military duty or just traveled to learn what was out there he desperately needed to see. A journey into a certain a safari expedition. Maybe his dream was to be an archeologist like Indiana Jones. Maybe he wanted to sail in a luxury cruise in the Bahamas. I would have wanted to have video footage of my father telling me all about his struggles trying to survive on his own as a young man. Finding a town he could finally settle into. And all the odd jobs he did until he finally found the occupation he would dedicate his life to. If all this had been recorded on digital video. Sadly the devices of today were not available to us back then 😭

I wouldn't say her "mom's joke" - she was telling a story about how devastated she was at age 16 and had suicidal intentions and toke an action which could have killed her - but fortunately the limo stopped and did not run her over. Probably first time Lucy told this story in the public and first time her daughter heard it was told in a light way, but also was very emotional. (and sad). On some levels Lucille was guarded about her emotions over early traumas (losing her father before age 4 and the devastating story about her mgf and how her mother was away from the home months or a year or more at a time when they were children) Childhood friends said she did not discuss these things, and one childhood friend rightfully called her mother's actions as abandonment. Also Lucille was left with her step-grandparents who were strict and not loving. Yet, Lucille Ball never spoke of any of them, even credited her stop father for encouraging her into shows; and years later after the stepfather died and step-grandfather died, Lucille offered to take care of the step-grandmother. Amazing. Knowing these facts about Lucille Ball totally makes me appreciate her so much as a deep, caring person - who did not complain about her past, always saying what she got from these people that was positive.

Lucie was so poised and ready to take on the world. She has kept Lucy's and Desi's legacy alive . I especially appreciate her voicing Mr. Arnez's unrecognized and unappreciated multi faceted talents. Love Ms.Burnett. ❤

Lucille Ball always said that Desi was the genius behind the scenes, wonderful comedic sense, also in terms of producer and director +A; and of course his knowing how to put the I Love Lucy on the air. I also give great credit to Lucille Ball, it was she that risked her career insisting that Desi play her husband on tv, also she brought her writers along from her radio My Favorite Husband, Jess Oppenheimer, Madelyn Pugh and Bob Carroll Jr, and she recommended Karl Freund, cinematographer, who she worked with in movies. So both Desi and Lucy were magic together in terms of abilities and intelligence and acknowledgements of each other. Too bad their marriage did not work out as well.

I love how intelligently and genuinely they all spoke. Seems like intelligent humor and genuine conversation is so rare on TV now. How sad. PS) what amazing professional etiquette Lucille Ball had by sharing the conversation (asking Carol questions) with her fellow commedian/colleague. Another rare act of intelligence, class and thoughtfulness to see anywhere now a days.

LUCILLE BALL also did a skit on that show, that centered on flying on a plane and being in her seat. Her long legs and knees were together the whole skit - not easy - and this woman did an entire comedy sketch, sitting down. I honestly think God just let me catch that episode because it was superb, a true comedian. The only one in her class! You can watch it on this media.

Lucy had no illusions about the business. She had a real respect for Carol's work. She was tested in fire being married to Desi.

I love how calm they seem to be. Lucille Ball is a role model. 🙂 Eveyone seems a lot more genuine and relaxed.

The amount of sheer talent and brilliance on that stage for this show, has had such an enormous impact on so many areas of American culture that you could never possibly calculate it. I would probably faint if I were ever in the presence of this I’d be so overwhelmed with awe.

Cavett is just about as good an interviewer as one could want, not quite in the same league as Terry Gross, but then Gross really is in a league of her own AND the "pitch" where her league plays is much more narrowly constricted, making it much easier for Gross to control the reins and ask her penetrating questions as well as offer her own sometimes stunning observations. Still, I think that Gross would have probably a LOT of trouble trying to work in Cavett's "busy" talk-show milieu, whereas Cavett would slip, probably very comfortably, on to Gross's home "turf" and perform very admirably, once ensconced there.
