Dinah Shore being turned away at Lucy's house

There was a history between Dinah and Lucie Arnaz

They both dated Burt Reynolds

Actually Lucie and Desi didn't mind Dinah dropping by.

Was Lucy a big golfer?

Dinah looks quite portly there, frankly.

Dinah looked like she'd been overdoing it on the bread pudding.

At the end of the video they say that actor James Stacy was allowed in. He had been married to Connie Stevens and Kim Darby before he lost a leg and an arm in a motorcycle accident (hit by a drunk driver). The girl he was giving a ride to died. He sued the bar who served the drunk driver and won almost $2 million. He kept on working after his accident in roles written to accommodate his disability. But, in 1995 he was arrest, tried & convicted of molesting an 11 year old girl and sentenced to 6 years in prison. It turned out he had been prowling around other girl's homes before the molestation.

Before his accident I thought he was one of the most handsome men in Hollywood.

Is that pic at r6 supposed to illustrate how handsome he was or how far he'd fallen?

Connie Stevens AND Joey Heatherton married child molesters?!

Connie always had yuck mouth.

I thought this was Teri Garr but apparently it's Joanna Pettet.

Is that pic at [R6] supposed to illustrate how handsome he was or how far he'd fallen?

That was later in his career, but IMO when he was at his sexiest. Grade A USDA Choice MAN!

He was cute when he was young, but not nearly as sexy as he was when he got some age on him. I've always been into older men.

He got a little puffy in the face with middle age.

That's the sexiest puffy I've seen in a long time. IMO a man is at his sexiest when he's old enough to get character lines around his eyes. And the mustache and hairy chest are the cherries on top.

What is Bobby Sherman wearing?!

Did Dinah come bearing shoo-fly pie or apple pan dowdy?

Dinah got this kiss-off

Damn, I wish I had used that as a headline, R16. Very cool.

Joanna Pettet was a close friend of Sharon Tate's.

IIRC Joanna had lunch with Sharon by the pool at 10050 Cielo Dr on the day the murders happened.

Bobby Sherman loved those lace crotch leather pants back in the day. He had several different styles & colors.

He eventually became an EMT and then a Reserve Police Deputy for the L.A. police department.

I didn't know Jon Peters moved from the salon to the red carpet as early as 1966. That boy had moxy and/or BDE.

Get the fuck up off my online, asshole

R19 that’s Don’s Johnson in that retarded Miami Vice

I like the shot of Lucie giving the press some fake sniffles. You know her and Desi Jr. were over the moon that bitch was dead and her $40 million fortune would be theirs. No more dinner theater!

" You know her and Desi Jr. were over the moon that bitch was dead and her $40 million fortune would be theirs."

Here they are at the funeral with Gary...

What kind of a rent-a-wreck is Lil Lucie driving around in? Does it have plastic for windows?

LOL, I was shocked she was riding in such a cheap HOJ.

She probably has to pay off Larry's tricks.

Dinah, we’re not sitting shiva, Sniffles just took off with the body in the trunk!

Dinah was one of the most decent, kind and generous people in the business.

I'm rather glad the Ball-Arnaz-Morton clan fell to shit.

Dinah knew some of the most talented singers ever. She also had a lot of pain and struggle throughout her life. Despite that, she had a good heart, which is hard to encounter in Hollywood. At a time when gay people were oppressed beyond belief, they identified with her struggles and she theirs.

Fuck the body, Gary, did she get the will?

All that, r30, and she still sang flat.

Why would anyone who's not a family member show up unannounced at a bereaved family's house? Is this a custom I'm not familiar with? I know that close friends and neighbors drop food by, but they leave right away..

A Wake, perhaps?

*3* GIRLS *3*

[quote] She also had a lot of pain and struggle throughout her life.

What are you referring to? Dinah Shore had a pretty carefree life and some hot men.

Assless chaps, R14

[Quote] "For men shall love each other"

Was Bobby hiding in plain sight?

LOL r23! Lucie and Desi Jr. essentially did stop working as soon as Lucy died, didn't they?

No. Lucie did The Witches of Eastwick musical in the West End. She hoped for a Broadway transfer but it was not meant to be. She also did the Irene Ryan role in Pippin. I think she did on Broadway.

Lucie has continued to work steadily since her mother's death, mostly in theater and clubs in New York, Los Angeles and Palm Springs.

On the other hand, Desi Jr. retired to Boulder City, Nevada, to count his money.

I have this DVD and the "They're Playing Our Song" original cast album signed by Lucie. Met her twice, she was lovely both times.

Was Lucie pissed that Desi Jr was much cuter?

The cuteness shifted Lucie's way as they aged... who's pissed now?

Here's what the kids (and Gary) got in the wills.

"I didn't know Jon Peters moved from the salon to the red carpet as early as 1966. That boy had moxy and/or BDE."

He had both; the guy was actually illiterate! Not in a "I don't like reading books" way; in a "I *can't* read books" way. How the fuck do you produce movies when you can't even read the scripts? Well, he did. Somehow.

They told the cane-ladies that no lesbytarians would be needed at this time

R14 Who is he with? She looks like Jaclyn Smith.

That is Bobby Sherman's first wife, Patti Carnel, who later married David Soul.

Is she the one who he beat up, R49?

Yes. They were married from 1980-1986.

From an article in the late 1990s:

Soul, the son of a Lutheran preacher, was jailed and ordered to attend therapy classes for alcoholism after attacking Pattie Carmel when she was seven months pregnant. He has built on the therapy experience by visiting a number of men's prisons and probationary groups around the country to discuss violence against women.

"Anger is an incredible power," he said recently. "But it can be completely negative and mindless. I sit with guys who are grieving over what they did; they paid the consequence and now they want to understand."

"I really lost my head last night... you've got a right, to stop believin'"

Welcome to PIPPIN...

Valerie Harper was a dancer in the chorus of Lucy's Broadway show "Wildcat"

She saw firsthand how tireless and obsessive Lucy was about rehearsing and she admired that

Unfortunately, she also saw Lucy's harsh treatment of her coworkers

Lucy was nothing if not a workaholic - she refused to take breaks from performing until her voice failed completely...

Lucy's voice changed (got deeper & harsher) between ILL and The Lucy Show, in part, because of the damage she did to it during the run of "Wildcat"

Of course, the cigarettes didn't help

[quote] Why would anyone who's not a family member show up unannounced at a bereaved family's house? Is this a custom I'm not familiar with?

Almost every culture does this except WASP culture.

Dinah was a Southerner who grew up in Nashville.

It's a Southern tradition - I'm just surprised she didn't show up with a platter of fried chicken and a Tupperware container of potato salad.

Interesting tidbits about Wildcats:

[quote] Nash had envisioned the main character of Wildy as a woman in her late 20s, and was forced to rewrite the role when Lucille Ball expressed interest not only in playing it but financing the project as well.

[quote] Ball also was permitted to choose her leading man. Kirk Douglas's salary demands and heavy film schedule eliminated him from the running, and Gordon MacRae, Jock Mahoney, and Gene Barry were considered before she selected Keith Andes.

[quote] Ball quickly realized audiences had come expecting to see her Lucy Ricardo persona and began mugging and ad-libbing to bring her characterization closer to that of the zany housewife she had portrayed in I Love Lucy. It was clearly Ball who was drawing the crowds, and when she fell ill and demands for refunds ran high, the producers announced plans to close the show for a week in late March 1961 to allow her to recover her strength. The closure came sooner than planned when Ball, suffering from a virus and chronic fatigue, departed for Florida on February 8. She returned two weeks later, but on April 22 she collapsed on stage.

And in a weird life co-incidence, Lucy presented Valerie with her first Enmmy and Valerie mentions it.

Couldn’t they have afforded poor Dinah a cup of Folger’s & a small slice of Entemmans Danish Ring?

Dinah could've at least brought a Chocolate Babka

Don’t slam the door in her face & then peak out the windows till she’s gone!

They probably weren't home but out making arrangements.

Gary did everything but turn on the electric sprinklers 💦

R59 sometimes you can’t satisfy the strangers with a nice cup of coffee ☕️

You can if there's FLAVAH!

Trying to outrun uninvited strangers on the hissing summer lawn
