As if Lucille didn't already have enough on her plate in 1963. Here, in the middle of the second season of The Lucy Show, she does a guest spot in a dramatic role on the Desilu Production 'The Greatest Show On Earth' in the episode titled "Lady In Limbo". Lucy plays a circus horse trainer named Kate Reynolds, who becomes a temporary mother to another animal trainer's orphaned son, played by Billy Mumy. Lucille's appearance in this episode was to help boost the ratings for an already failing series. Jack Palance and Roger C. Carmel ('The Mother's-In-Law') costar. You can find this episode on YouTube. #lucilleball #jackpalance #desiluproductions #desilu #thegreatestshowonearth #tvseries #ratings #horsetrainer #circus #circuslife #orphaned #billymumy #lostinspace #limbo #thelucyshow #alotonherplate #busywoman #madamepresident #drama #youtube #behindthescenes #ontheset #classichollywood #ilovelucy #waynelvslcy https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVrgycu4Ai/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Did you enjoy @nicolekidman and @bardemantarctic in @beingthericardos on @amazonprimevideo ? Do you think @therealdebramessing would have been a better choice or do you think Nicole captured the spirit of @lucielleball ? I really loved the story and art direction plus @linda_lavin is in it and looks great! This etch a sketch was one of the first heart etch a sketches I ever did. It’s a ten minute drawing done in @ 2004. I would go on to draw the Ricardos several more times. These heart-shaped etch a sketches are not made any more, and I have the last of the stock on my warehouse. Do you want to be Etched on a preserve-not-to-erase heart-shaped etch a Sketch for Valentine’s Day or order a singing etch a gram time-lapse for your sweetie? Private message me to learn how to order one. They will go on sale at my Etsy store this Friday! The day after the 12 days of Christmas ;) #etchasketch #amazingetchman #getetched #etchuproductions #ilovelucy #beingthericardos #amazonprimevideo #amazonprimemovies #amazonprime #lucielleball #desiarnaz #lindalavin #nicolekidman #javierbardem #letloverule #debramessing #desilu #desiluproductions #shakethingsup #myfavoritehusband (at Hollywood, California) https://www.instagram.com/amazingetchman/p/CYXuah-pmo3/?utm_medium=tumblr

Did you know that Crazy in Love was initially developed as a feature film? It's true. Did you also know that Lucille Ball once considered playing the Natalie/Colleen roles and producing it with her Desilu Productions? #AlternativeFactFriday

Happy Birthday Lucille Desiree Ball! "Lucille Désirée Ball (August 6, 1911 – April 26, 1989) was an American actress, comedian, model, film-studio executive, and producer. She was best known as the star of the self-produced sitcoms I Love Lucy, The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy, and Life with Lucy. In 1962, Ball became the first woman to run a major television studio, Desilu Productions, which produced many popular television series, including Mission: Impossible and Star Trek. Ball did not back away from acting completely, appearing in film and television roles for the rest of her career until her death in April 1989 from an abdominal aortic dissection at the age of 77."

'As a woman who behaved like a woman, it amused her to occupy the austere oak-paneled executive suite once occupied by Joseph Kennedy and Howard Hughes. She gussied it up with large flower patterned furniture in decorator shades of yellow and green and a silver tea service that belonged to her grandmother; and wondered—but not very much—what Joe Kennedy would think of a Capri-clad President having her nails done during a business conference.' article, 'The President Wore A Dress To The Stockholders Meeting', TV Guide, July 1967. #lucilleball #desilu #madamepresident #girlpower #studiohead #stockholders #howardhughes #joekennedy #gussiedup #femininetouch #decorated #ilovelucy #desiluproductions https://www.instagram.com/p/CD4RoCNnu9O/?igshid=1isjhekpqq2df

During ‘The Lucy Show’ years, the Halco Company sold these Lucille Ball Halloween costumes. Here is the mask and how it was shown in the 1964 Halco costume catalog. The dress portion of the costume appears to have come in two sizes: small, 2 piece in white and large, 1 piece in yellow. #lucilleball #holloweencostume #masks #halloweenmasks #vintagehalloweencostume #scarylucy #halco #advertising #thelucyshow #trickortreat #happyhalloween #ilovelucy #desiluproductions #trickortreaters #waynelvslcy https://www.instagram.com/p/CkYlwXbONZ7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Marl Young (1917-2009) was a self taught pianist who began working with Lucille and Desi in 1958 when he was hired to do arrangements for the Desilu Workshop. He would soon be hired as an assistant conductor. In 1962, Desi Arnaz asked Marl to play the piano for the studio audience warm-up band for 'The Lucy Show'. Later he would appear on camera when the scripts called for a piano player on 'Here's Lucy'. When Wilbur Hatch died in 1969 Marl took over as conductor and in 1970 became the musical director of the series and the first black musical director in Hollywood. #lucilleball #marlyoung #hollywoodfirsts #musicaldirector #desiarnaz #hereslucy #thelucyshow #pianist #blackpianist #blackcomposers #desiluproductions #musicians #integration #selftaught #hollywood https://www.instagram.com/p/CBylX3KHZh4/?igshid=8b8g9qevesr1
