Bea Benaderet was Lucille Ball’s 1st choice for Ethel Mertz , but had previous obligations.

She had a successful career anyway. Could you imagine anyone else playing Ethel but Vivian Vance?

Bea was the voice of “Granny” on Warner Bos. cartoons, but since Mel Blanc had an exclusive contract Bea was never credited. Bea was also the voice of Betty Rubble! She went on to play Kate in Petticoat Junction too.

Day 4 at Royal Ascot 2017

Day 4 - Friday, June 23

2.30 Albany Stakes (Group 3) 3.05 King Edward VII Stakes (Group 2) 3.40 Commonwealth Cup (Group 1) 4.20 Coronation Stakes (Group 1) 5.00 Queen’s Vase (Group 2) 5.35 Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap (0-105)  

Race of the day

The Coronation Stakes (4.20) is the fillies’ equivalent of the St James’s Palace Stakes, attracting the best three-year-old female milers. Winter, the impressive Qipco 1,000 Guineas winner, proved beyond doubt that success was no fluke when bolting up in the Irish Guineas at The Curragh next time. Win this showpiece and she will rightly be considered the best in Europe.

One to watch

Although this will be just the third running of the Commonwealth Cup (3.40) it is already being hailed as a masterstoke by Ascot to introduce a Group One sprint just for three-year-olds.

I Love Lucy the Lost Pilot The Ricardos had a fabulous view in a highrise apartment instead of the brownstone Fred and Ethel owned. Look at Lucy's early 1950s coat! She is pregnant with their daughter Lucie Arnez while filming the pilot.
