HAPPY 105TH BIRTHDAY, LUCILLE BALL! | AUGUST 6TH, 1911 - APRIL 26TH, 1989

"My Mom spent a lot of time with Lucie and me. She attended school plays and Little League games, helped me with my homework, and made an effort to get to know my friends. She took us to Disneyland and followed us around with a home movie camera. She even tape recorded interviews with us. Mom saved everything from our childhood and kept boxes of boxes of moments, including baby shoes, our drawings, and all the gifts her fans sent when I was born" -Desi Arnaz Jr.

Rest In Peace Lucille Désirée Ball // August 6, 1911 - April 26, 1989

“I was driving to work on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles during rush hour. Naturally, I had the radio on for company. When the disc jockey announced that Lucy had died, I slowed down and immediately began to cry. After about a minute, I realized that I had stopped completely on a very busy highway. I immediately looked around and saw that every car around me in both directions was stopped, and all of the passengers were shedding tears. We all sort of looked at one another, shared the moment, took a deep breath, and began to drive again.” -The Lucy Book

“It may be that during business hours God and the angels only sit around watching six-part documentaries and Bill Moyers. But back in the “family quarters” I bet they switch to I Love Lucy. And that’s how I know there is laughter in heaven. Because a God who would have created her would never let her laughter be far from home.” - Diane Sawyer delivering Lucille Ball’s eulogy

“She told me she dreamt she had died. And she came back as a ghost on Hollywood Boulevard. She’s walking along as a ghost, and no one remembers her. When she died, that was the first thing I thought of, because you never saw such an outpouring of love, almost obsession. I thought, she would be so proud.” - Candy Moore

Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda at the Cocoanut Grove, 1936

The pair accompanied Jimmy Stewart and Ginger Rogers, who are unseen in the above picture. Years later, Fonda recalled a double date he and Lucy went on with the other pair of actors: “Both girls looked ravishingly lovely in the soft lights and we danced ‘til dawn, but when we came out into the harsh glare of the daylight, the girls’ make-up looked about an inch thick, and it was…well, what it was was ugly. It’s simply untrue what Miss Ball has been telling people all these years is that I went to the gutter and wretched, I was just coughing a lot.”
