Dina Shore is beautiful

Missing these 3 ladies, nobody like them ever again 😢

What a harmonious lilting number they came up with ! Letting lucy lead ,both the other beautiful singers supported her with obvious love and respect Dinah was the only soft-spoken, refined talkshow host ,who never tried to hog the lime light ,and thats how she brought out the best in her guests

Don't cry becuz it's over ... smile becuz it happened ... RIP Valerie, Lucy & Dinah P.S. I still cry anyway, becuz it makes me happy to see, hear & watch these 3 fine ladies ... takes me back to my youth.

Rest In Peace, Valerie Harper.

As per Valerie Harper( at that time an unknown chorus dancer in the show), when Lucy saw the shape of the extras' backstage green room, despite the countless hours Lucy was putting in rehearsing, costume fitting and performing,etc. 'Wildcat', Lucy PERSONALLY repainted that backstage green room so the extras would have a place they could chill between performances.

Lucy was supposed to start Mame almost 2 years before but a skier ran into her on the slopes and her leg was broken in 4 places. In the hospital and rehab for months. I think the total exhaustion of it all took quite a toll - not physically as capable as in the past. However, I saw Mame recently and liked it. (Was avoiding it because of all the negative critic evaluations. Lucie's singing was ok (talk singing like Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady) Bea Arthur's singing was good; and the gal who played Agnes Gooch - her voice was great. Felt the musical was enjoyable

This musical number is rehearsed, for sure. Lucy always believed in rehearsing. She was not one to 'wing it' like say, Dean Martin. She acts a little annoyed that she has to sing. I guess perhaps to make it seem more spontaneous. Frankly, it's really a little grating to see Lucy 'playing' annoyed - which she does during large parts of this interview with Dinah.

+Chronic Nostalgia Videos Lucy had her best interviews on "The Dick Cavett Show," once alone with Cavett on March 7, 1974, another time (March 9,1971) with daughter Lucie Arnaz and Carol Burnett joining her. The best interviews I have ever heard and seen with two of my favorite actresses (Lucille Ball and Bette Davis) were on "The Dick Cavett Show." Mr. Cavett managed to get those two women to open up and relax such as I had never seen them do on any shows hosted by Merv Griffin or Johnny Carson. And that is saying quite a lot, since Lucy, especially, appeared on Merv's and Carson's shows dozens of times each.

Lucy just wanted to work except she didn't like singing as much. She always played the one who couldn't sing. But if work called for her to sing, she'd do it.

Except Lucille Ball ,both other ladies died a painful death from cancer, ironically they didn't smoke half as much as Ms Ball did 😢

Lucy,not a world class singer but she could at least carry a tune. The "singing' she did on "I Love Lucy" was deliberately off key.Entertaining to watch these three ladies who are no longer with us together.

Those women were up to no good, behind the scenes. Oh to have been a fly on the wall.

(COUGH) Lucy's voice is all raspy because she smokes about 2 cartons of cigarettes a week. Valerie does OK, she looks like she doesn't think this song is a very good idea. And Dinah is game as usual - ah ah ah ah Stayin Alive!

Haha the key was WAY too low for Miss Dinah.

When Ball registered to vote in 1936, she listed her party affiliation as Communist, along with her brother and mother. To sponsor the Communist Party's 1936 candidate for the California State Assembly's 57th District, Ball signed a certificate stating, "I am registered as affiliated with the Communist Party." The same year, the Communist Party of California appointed her to the state's Central Committee, according to records of the California Secretary of State.
