Joan Crawford’s response to the question “Are you a boy?” on What’s My Line?
“Liz would do things that I respected and admired her so much for - let’s say that it’s a close-up of Liz, and Darrin or Endora had just done something, and she had just finished the dialog. Asher wouldn’t say CUT. Liz would just stand there and do reactions - and she would react to the scene and what had just happened, and she had such a variety of reactions that always pertained to the situation. Asher would wait and wait and wait while she would go through reaction after reaction, on purpose, just to see what she would do. He finally would eventually say CUT. It was beautiful.”

Lucille Ball is one of the funniest,sweetest and most beautiful people of her time. I love this woman! Sorry, I’ve watched a marathon of “I love Lucy” and at the end of every episode I always sigh and say to myself “I love Lucy” Lol!
“Both times I was pregnant, I mooned for hours over a baby photograph of Desi, hoping by some magic I would have a baby who looked just like him. Then we did a show where Lucy tells Ricky she is having a baby. She sends an anonymous note to him at his nightclub, requesting that he sing “Rock a-Bye Baby.” Ricky complies, going from table to table, singing the old nursery rhyme. In front of Lucy’s table, he looks into her eyes and suddenly realizes he is the father. When we did this scene before an audience, Desi was suddenly struck by all the emotion he’d felt when we discovered, after ten childlesss years of marriage, that we were finally going to have Lucie. His eyes filled up and he couldn’t finish the song; I started to cry, too. Vivian started to sniffle; even the hardened stagehands wiped their eyes with the backs of their hands. The director wanted retakes at the end of the show, but the audience stood up and shouted, “No, no!”
- Love, Lucy
