When Desi Arnaz first set eyes on Lucille Ball in the commissary of RKO Pictures in Hollywood in early 1940, it was not an auspicious beginning to their relationship.
The Cuban bandleader-turned-fledgling actor made a derogatory remark about the then-B-movie actress’ appearance. “He wasn’t impressed at all, calling her a ’10-cent whore,’ a ‘p–a’ — the Spanish word for prostitute,” author Darwin Porter told The Post, noting that the 28-year-old Ball, five years older than Arnaz, was dressed for a role as a cheap burlesque dancer in the film “Dance, Girl, Dance” with Maureen O’Hara.

So that’s why he always said Lucy you cannot go to the club!
Heard the same thing. Still, her making bread and wrapping candy were fantastic.
What’s a BEEP?
Just watched her in ‘Lured’. She was hot.
“What’s a BEEP?”
It like when you get stung by a bee and the wound itches the next day. A bee-itch.
Dance, Girl Dance is a good movie.
I can’t wait to hear the Splainin’
Sex crazed? Horrors. NOT.
They were married. Sex is great under those circumstances.
Give it a rest.
Veto!

The fact that it was Desi who insisted that ILL was to be filmed (way more expensive than live on the west coast and kinescoped to the east coast) and that even with the strict fire regulations, they were able to have a studio audience was utter genius and the high quality prints made syndication a reality. 70 years later it is still running, and most importantly, still funny, really funny! It was Desi who was the innovator and as such, made modern television work.
“At that time, most television programs were broadcast live, and as the largest markets were in New York, the rest of the country received only kinescope images....The use of film enabled every station around the country to broadcast high-quality images of the show....Due to the expense of 35mm film, Arnaz and Ball agreed to salary cuts. In return they retained the rights to the films. This was the basis for their invention of re-runs and syndicating TV shows.”

“What’s a BEEP?”
That’s the noise from a car horn, but that’s not important now.
Desi was a boozer, gambler, and womanizer. Not a model spouse, either.
It’s none of my business. And it’s none of yours either.
“Surely, you jest.”
Oh Juicy, I'm home!
Um ... this is sort of like hearing nasty details of your parents’ sex lives ...
She is the reason there was “Star Trek’
sex-crazed marriage
Like that’s a bad thing?
Saw that recently too
She was hawt
