At the age of fifteen Lucy left home to attend drama school. About a month later Lucille came back home being told she had no acting talent. She made several short trips to New York with dreams of being an actress. She became a model and eventually found her way to Hollywood to become a Goldwyn Girl. Lucille's first movie was Roman Scandels. Another young woman dropped out of the chorus leaving her place to Lucy. Lucille decided she did not want to be a showgirl. So she got out of her contract as a Goldwyn Girl. She moved over to the RKO studio in 1935 but her career didn't really go anywhere until the 1938 movie, Stage Door (co-starring Katharine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers). After that she started getting featured rolls in RKO movies. Her big break came four years later when she starred with Henry Fonda in The Big Street. MGM saw her and signed her up. In 1940, Lucille was cast as Connie Casey in a musical entitled Too Many Girls. A movie which also featured a young, handsome Cuban named Desi Arnaz. It was then that Lucy and Desi fell in love. They eloped on November 30, 1940. They spent a lot of their time apart because of Desi touring with his band and Lucy making movies in Hollywood. In 1944 she filed for a divorce but the day before the divorce was to take place Lucy and Desi worked things out and Lucy dropped the suit. On June 19, 1949 Lucy and Desi were married again in a Catholic ceremony. They share two children together, Lucie and Desi Jr.. In 1948 Lucy began doing a Radio Show sponsored by CBS entitled My Favorite Husband in which she co-starred with Richard Denning. After three years of success CBS wanted to transfer My Favorite Husband to television but Lucy said she would only do so if Desi was to play her husband. CBS refused saying the public wouldn't believe she was married to a Cuban. So Lucy and Desi took their act on tour across the country and the audience loved them. So CBS agreed to allow Desi to play her husband. I Love Lucy was born. In it's run I Love Lucy won 5 Emmy Awards with over 20 nomitations. I Love Lucy is a television classic and one of the most successful shows in television history. In 1957 I Love Lucy was taken off the air and was replaced 13 hourly specials called The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour. In 1960 Lucy and Desi divorced. Lucy still continued her movie career and she starred in the Broadway musical Wildcat!. While she was performing in New York she was introduced to Gary Morton (a nightclub comedian). The two fell in love and married on November 19, 1961. In 1962 Lucy returned to televison with a new sitcom for CBS entitled The Lucy Show, which ran for 6 years. That same year she took over Desi's place in Desilu Studios becoming the first woman president of a Hollywood production company. In 1968 Lucy once again starred in a television sitcom called Here's Lucy, which also aired for 6 years. It co-starred both of her real-life children. In 1974 Lucy finished that series and made her last motion Picture (Mame). In 1986 she tried again at a sitcom. This one entitiled Life With Lucy but it only lasted for 2 months. She was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award later that year. In March of 1989 Lucy made her last public appearance at the Annual Academy Awards. She died on April 26, 1989 after open heart surgery at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. |
Hello friends, I'm your Vitameatavegamin Girl. Oops sorry, reflex. I spent hours working on that line. I guess it stuck hard. Pardon me I forgot to give my name. I'm Lucille Ball, known to most as simply Lucy. I find it overwhelming that so many people have watched my shows for years. For this I am greatly honored. I have to thank many of people for my fame, so many I wouldn't know where to start. Well enough with the sappy stuff, I'm sure you didn't come here to listen to me cry. Along with the I Love Lucy Shows, a great number of films helped boost my carrer. Wildcat, The Long Trailer, Fancy Pants, and Critic's Choice to name a few. Just recently I got hooked to the web. I was shocked to see the wealth of knowledge you can find. I tell you I could have hit it big with a web page on the net in the 50's. But today with I Love Lucy running still ringing in the hearts of my fans, young and old, I think it will still grow strong. Enjoy. Love, Lucy | ||||||||||||||||

The film was first titled When Men Were Men, before changing to Fancy Pants. There were two songs written for the film by Jay Livingston and�Ray Evans: "(Hey) Fancy Pants!" and "Home Cookin'." Fancy Pants began shooting in August.� It opened in late Summer 1950, and was not as big a success as Sorrowful Jones.� It did earn a tidy sum at the box-office, and was well-recieved by critics as well. This was Lucy and Bob Hope's second film teaming.� They would work together on screen two more times; in The Facts of Life and Critic's Choice. Fancy Pants is available on home video from Paramount.� You can buy the video online from Ted's Lucille Ball Bookstore (in association with Amazon.com).� -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reviews ".� Amusing musical remake of Ruggles of Red Gap...." [Leonard Maltin] "Lucille Ball is one of the finest comediennes in Hollywood." [Cue] "Bob Hope and Lucille Ball are in good form in this spirited remake of Ruggles of Red Gap."
