Heh, I just recently watched “Yours, Mine, and Ours” and it really resonated with me coming from a big family with a naval officer as the father.
(Henry Fonda was the Warrant Officer, and Lucy was a nurse...both had eight kids, both had lost their spouse, and dated and eventually got married in the movie, so they had 16 kids!
I laughed...she can do physical humor as much as anyone, and in one scene with her fake eyelashes falling off on her first date with the officer, and she discards her slip on the floor of a crowded bar...I enjoyed it!
When I went to school many years ago, our teacher, trying to explain to us what happens when a Geiger counter gets “saturated” gets overwhelmed, and stops reporting that radiation is present, used Lucy and the candy factory as an educational tool!
It was brilliant. We all remembered a very important thing, but to this day, I can’t see a picture of Lucy in that candy factory episode without thinking of a Geiger counter!
if you get a chance, watch her movie ‘the long long long trailer’ or something like that- really funny movie-
Lucy had 8 kids, Henry Fonda had 10.
Then they had one together for a total of 19.
I’ve heard that Lucy and Henry had had an affair. And that they were both communists.
