LUCY & THE JOANS!
Lucille Ball’s Collabs with Women Named Joan
A remarkable number of talented women named Joan - and even a few memorable characters - were part of the Lucyverse.
JOAN BANKS (1918-1989)
Joan Banks’ only credit with Lucille Ball was in “Fan Magazine Interview” (1954) in which she played reporter Eleanor Harris, assigned to do a story on Ricky Ricardo’s wife aka Lucy Ricardo. Here character name was a tribute to real-life writer Eleanor Harris.
JOAN BLONDELL (1906-1979)
Joan Blondell (sister of Gloria Blondell) was active as a performer concurrently with Lucille Ball. On “The Lucy Show,” she played Joan Brenner, a character intended to fill the gap after the departure of Vivian Vance. But she did not get along with Lucille Ball, and after a shouting match in front of the studio audience, Blondell was dismissed after just two episodes.
JOAN CAREY (1921-2015)
Joan Carey was born Joan Somerville Norbury on February 18, 1921 in Yorkshire, England. As a background performer and stand-in, she appeared on many episodes of “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show,” generally uncredited.
JOAN CAULFIELD (1922-1991)
Joan Caulfield played the role of Liz Cooper on the television adaptation of “My Favorite Husband” (1953-55). Lucille Ball played the role on radio, but chose instead to play Lucy Ricardo. Caulfield and Ball were later both guest stars on “Bob Hope’s Leading Ladies” in 1966.
JOAN CRAWFORD (1905-1977)
Joan Crawford was born Lucille Fay LeSueur. The Oscar-winning actress was mentioned on several episodes of “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show” before making a guest appearance in “Lucy and the Lost Star” in 1968. The episode was originally intended for Gloria Swanson, hence the non-specific title. The title “Lucy and Joan” had already been used when Joan Bennet guest-starred. As with Bennett there was off-stage friction between Crawford and Ball.
JOAN COLLINS (1933)
English-born actress Joan Collins hosted the “All Star Party for Lucille Ball” in 1984. She was also seen with Ball on “Bob Hope’s Leading Ladies” (1966), “Women I Love: Beautiful But Funny” (1982), “Night of 100 Stars II” (1985), and “Friar’s Club Tribute to Gene Kelly” (1985).
JOAN CROSBY (1924-1992)
Joan Crosby was a journalist who wrote about Lucille Ball and was the one-time president of the Hollywood Women’s Press Club. As such, she played herself (above far right) in “Lucy Meets the Burtons” (1970).
JOAN FONTAINE (1917-2013)
Born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland in Tokyo, she was the sister of Olivia de Havilland. She appeared with Lucy (and two other Joans) in “Bob Hope’s Leading Ladies” (1966). In 1959 she appeared on an episode of “Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse” hosted by Desi Arnaz.
JOAN GRANT
Joan Grant is the character played by Lucille Ball in The Marines Fly High (1940). She runs a cocoa plantation in the South American jungle and allows a platoon of US Marines to stay there. Two of the Marines tussle over her affections. When she is kidnapped, the two Marines unite to save her.
JOAN RIVERS (1933-2014)
Joan Alexandra Molinsky was born in New York City and became one of the top female comedians of all time. She co-starred with Lucille Ball on “Here’s Lucy” in “Lucy and Joan Rivers Do Jury Duty” (1973) where Rivers played Joan Reynolds. She was the first female guest-host of "The Tonight Show” interviewing Lucille Ball three times.
JOAN SWIFT (1933-2016)
Joan Swift was a frequent background player who had a few lines on “The Lucy Show” and “Here’s Lucy.” Three of her characters were also named Joan. Her final screen appearance was in “Lucy Gets Lucky” (1975).
During her long career in Hollywood, Lucille Ball also worked with or employed Joan Benny (Jack’s daughter), Joan Marshall (”Star Trek”), Joan O’Brien (”Shower of Stars”), Joan Fairfax (”Tonight Show with Jack Paar”), Joan Staley (”The Untouchables”), and Joan Woodbury (”There Goes My Girl”).
BONUS JOANS
JOAN OF ARC (1412-1431)
In “Lucy the Skydiver” (1970), Lucy Carter hears the voices of strong women like Florence Nightingale and Joan of Arc, the Americanized name of the French saint and warrior Jeanne d'Arc.
"I MARRIED JOAN” starring JOAN DAVIS
From 1952 to 1955 Joan Davis (1912-1961) starred in the sitcom “I Married Joan,” which was NBC’s answer to the popularity of “I Love Lucy.” Comic actress Davis had appeared with Lucille Ball in the 1933 film Bunker Bean. Like Lucy, Davis used her own first name and was a scatterbrained housewife. Her husband (Jim Backus) was a judge. Both shows featured Mary Jane Croft, Bobby Jellison, Shirley Mitchell, Sandra Gould, Margie Liszt, Jerry Hausner, Elvia Allman, Myra Marsh, Phil Arnold, Dick Elliott, Robert Foulk, Joseph Kearns, Maxine Semon, Don Brodie, Hal March, Richard Reeves, Herb Vigran, Norman Varden, Harry Bartell, Kay Wiley, Charlotte Lawrence, Frank Nelson, Frank Gerstle, Vivvi Janis, George Neise, Ross Elliott, Verna Felton, Fritz Feld, Mabel Paige, Rolfe Sedan, Paul Dubov, Maurice Marsac, Peter Leeds, Shepard Menken, Strother Martin, Junie Ellis, Florence Bates, Sam Hearn, Mary Treen, and Hans Moebus. Like Lucille Ball, Joan Davis also served as Executive Producer of her series, which, like “I Love Lucy,” was filmed at General Service Studios.

.. . . . just realized that joan watson named her son arthur . . . . like....like sir arthur conan doyle? like the man who wrote the sherlock holmes stories?
#caroline talks#elementary#now imagining a future where arthur holmes watson winds up writing a book#about his parents#sherlock holmes and joan watson and everyone's like 'wait. wait so sherlock DIDN'T die via reichenbach falls????'#and arthur's like 'yeah i mean he totally did'#and then arthur visits a grave and everyone thinks he's saying goodbye to sherlock and joan#but no he's actually just visiting moriarty's fake grave and going 'anyways thanks for not killing my parents'#and then he goes visit sherlock and joan who are technically retired but not really#arthur comes home and goes 'I'M HOOOME'#and sherlock goes 'yes i already knew because [insane deductive reasoning]'#and arthur goes 'no uncle sherlock you knew because mom literally marked it on the calendar'#sherlock goes 'yes AND i also knew because x y and z'#and it's so. i picture arthur sitting with sherlock and joan and the bees#and also saying hi to clyde the tortoise#and arthur going 'you know people keep writing me letters about how you and mom should have gotten married'#sherlock sniffs and goes 'please i've already forgiven you for writing about your mother and myself do NOT test my patience'

people really do not know what they're talking about when it comes to Elizabeth Woodville's social status, huh?
#yes Elizabeth was without a doubt considered too low-born to be queen#no she was not a commoner and nobody actually called her that during her life (so I'm not sure why people are claiming that they did?)#Elizabeth's social status was not a problem in itself; it was a problem in the context of queenship and marrying into royalty#Context is important in this and for literally everything else when it comes to analyzing history. Any discussion is worthless without it.#obviously pop culture-esque articles claiming that she was 'a commoner who captured the king's heart' are wrong; she wasn't#But emphasizing that ACTUALLY she was part of the gentry with a well-born mother and just leaving it at that as some sort of “GOTCHA!”#is equally if not more irresponsible and entirely irrelevant to discussions of the actual time period we're studying.#Elizabeth *was* considered unworthy and unacceptable as queen precisely because of her lower social status#her father and brother had literally been derided as social-climbers by Salisbury Warwick and Edward himself just a few years earlier#the Woodvilles' marriage prospects clearly reflected their status (and 'place') in society: EW herself had first married a knight and all#siblings married within the gentry to people of a similar status. compare that to the prestigious marriages arranged after EW became queen#Elizabeth having a lower social status was not 'created' by propaganda against her; it fueled and shaped propaganda against her#that's a huge huge difference; it's irresponsible and silly to conflate the two as I've seen a recent tumblr post cavalierly do#like I said she was considered too low-born to be queen long before any of the propaganda Warwick Clarence or Richard put out against her#and the fact that Elizabeth was targeted on the basis of her social status was in itself novel and unprecedented#no queen before her was ever targeted in such a manner; Clearly Elizabeth was considered notably 'different' in that regard#(and was quite literally framed as the enemy and destroyer of 'the old royal blood of this realm' and all its actual 'inheritors' like..)#ngl this sort of discussion always leaves a bad taste in my mouth#because it's not like England and France (et all) are at war or consider each other mortal enemies in the 21st century#both are in fact western european imperialistic nations who've been nothing but a blight to the rest of the world including my own country#yet academic historians clearly have no problem contextualizing the xenophobia that medieval foreign queens faced as products of their time#and sympathizing with them accordingly (Eleanor of Provence; Joan of Navarre; Margaret of Anjou; etc)(at least by their own historians)#Nor were foreign queens the “worst” targets of xenophobia: that was their attendants or in times of war commoners or soldiers#who actually had to bear the brunt of English aggression#queens were ultimately protected and guaranteed at least a veneer of dignity and respect because of their royal status#yet once again historians and people have no problem contextualizing and understanding their difficulties regardless of all this#so what is the problem with contextualizing the classism *Elizabeth* faced and understanding *her* difficulties?#why is the prejudice against her constantly diminished & downplayed? (Ive never even seen any historian directly refer to it as 'classism')#after all it was *Elizabeth* who was more vulnerable than any queen before her due to her lack of powerful foreign or national support#and Elizabeth who faced a form of propaganda distinctly unprecedented for queens. it SHOULD be emphasized more.

[[ starter for @dccontramundum
In the months since their marriage had been officially recognized, Joan had recieved three calls asking her to come collect her husband for an injury. This was nothing like any of them. Drugged. And they'd said it so casually like it didn't even matter, but by the time she reached her husband's bedside, it was terribly obvious how much it mattered.
Her poor boy, who hadn't even drank until her father had gotten to him, who had never willingly altered his state of mind, who so desperately clung to his beautiful, rational mind as his primary worth... To see him in tears, writhing with discomfort from the enormous dose of some mystery drug, brought her swiftly to tears as well. "It's alright, darling. It's alright. I'm here." She stroked his cheek and then ran her hand through his hair, hoping the familiarity would be comforting. "I won't leave you alone, love. I promise."
#shifting the timeline around to make it work bc I want it to#c. joan#v.joan. married woman#new thread#drug use cw

JOAN.
Dauphine of France. Princess of Scotland. Princess of Albion. Queen Regnant of Scotland. Queen of England. The Half Breed Heathens Whore Of A Wife. My Darling Wise Thistle. Little Wise Eyed. Jeanne.
Though Joan’s father died not six months after her birth his love for her was remarked upon - indeed it was said that he could hardly bear to be apart from her. His death was something her mother Mary never recovered from despite two subsequent marriages and the reminder of him in her black haired and grey eyed daughter seems to have been a mixture of grief and solace to her. Joan proved to be a serious child - interested in books, archery and riding but with a keen talent for music she was included in and educated in rulership from a young age, particularly by her paternal grandmother who remarked that she saw ‘very much of Marguerite of Navarre in her’ she was excellent at politics, at rulership and in her concern and interest in the lives of all her people but she was not warm and nor did she have the charisma and ability to draw the eye of her mother, something that drew unfavourable comparisons. Her marriage was made out of pragmatism on her part and no one was more surprised than Joan when it turned into love.
(inspired in part by this edit by @emilykaldwen (ABBY MY BELOVED))
#lil and her ridiculous aus#ot3: political power trio#au: golden world#pending graphic tag#lils edits#this is who thomas and mihrimahs oldest son marries#it really is arranged marriage to lovers#turhan has a really difficult time because Living Up To His Parents#(not that his parents aren’t great parents they are)#(it’s just living up to them is…FUCK)#Joan has to wrestle with the fact that people look to her more than her mother but also absolutely compare her to her mother negatively#tudorsedit#herawell#also joans mothers life choices#(mqos does have way less terrible men in her life i think)#(but also she and joan do really struggle to connect and understand each other)#turhan struggles with being the heir of rulers who live up to their legends (positive for both) as rulers and people and then some#and also turhan really follows his mothers faith and takes after his maternal grandfathers family in appearance#and while England by the time of his reign is Different And Better#people are going to people even in this kindest possible world#and in some ways without thomas and mihrimah he has to be like#what is a legacy dot gif#tudors ot3 verse reference

14, 28, 29.
14. Current word count of all your main wips?
Meemaw is a little old school and starts in a notebook. I love y’all dearly but I’m not counting that. Probably 300 or do words in there and about 350 that have made it to a word doc. Work injury really slowed me down
28. Favourite songs at the moment?
29. What was your first fandom you were in? Did you make any art/fanfic for it?
Star Wars. I saw the special editions in the theater when was 11 or 12. I was hooked the moment I saw Luke Skywalker come into frame. Immediately began consuming Star Wars media. At one point I owned 50 of the expanded universe novels and had read even more.
I never made any official fanfiction or art. But my best friend and I created an entire AU to put our self inserts in. We probably spent 2 whole years reinforcing this fantasy between us.
#light side jedi potential married to luke skywalker obvi#for some reason she was han & leia’s kid#so i was her aunt?#vveirdvvitch answers#joan osborne#the ballad of the witches road#gravity rides everything#modest mouse#star wars

They say that love′s a gentle thing
But it's only brought me pain
For the only boy I ever loved
Has gone on the morning train
I never will marry
I′ll be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
Well the train pulled out
The whistle blew
With a long and a lonesome moan
He's gone he′s gone
Like the morning dew
And left me all alone
I never will marry
I′ll be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
Well there′s many a change in the winter wind
And a change in the cloud's design
There′s many a change in a young man's heart
But never a change in mine
I never will marry
I′ll be no man's wife
I expect to live single
All the days of my life
A song of Joan Baez
