Let's be things you'd find on the set of I Love Lucy

I'm Barbara Eden, hiding from Desi in my dressing room.

Desi, rapidly deteriorating and developing an oily, gray, grimacing face while doing what he kept doing and done did until he couldn't do it no more.

He liked the good life and was able to enjoy a lot of it. But that health!

I’m the well-worn prop wire hanger used whenever the Ethel character had one of her madcap “procedures”.

The phoniest brick and the fakest-looking windows (depending on the season) on TV.

"The Honeymooners" was the creepiest set, for me, but at least it started as sketches on two other of his shows before he did the 39 episodes and specials.

Off-topic. Sorry.

I'm Lucy's much-abused kitchen stove and oven.

The banjo clock. We had one too. I loved their apartment with the windows. The first one was claustrophobic. I thought their country place was devoid of charm and warmth.

The Franciscan Ivy dinnerware .

The Chinese ceramic figures on the mantel in the second apartment.

The framed reproduction of a Degas ballet dancer , also in the second apartment.

I’m the scissoring that takes place between Lucy and Viv after a few too many drinks in Lucy’s dressing room when Desi is out with “the boys”. At first, Viv feels dirty and abused, until Lucy does this thing with her pelvis that cause Viv to squirt more than the Bellagio fountains…..

Tonight at 12:30 on Pluto TV “Ricky’s Movie Offer” will air. On the set you’ll see one of the greatest improv bits by Ethel when they prop up Ben Benjamin (the inimitable Frank Nelson). You can tell by Lucy’s reaction that it was not scripted or rehearsed. I wish I could find the isolated clip. YouTube has the lead up but then stops just before it.
