william frawley, On July 17, 1951, one month before her fortieth birthday and after three miscarriages (one in 1942, one in 1949, and another in 1950), Lucille Ball
gave birth to her first child, Lucie Désirée Arnaz. A year and a half later, Lucy Ball gave birth to her second child, Desiderio Alberto Arnaz IV,
known as Desi Arnaz, Jr. When he was born, I Love Lucy was a solid ratings hit, and Ball and Arnaz wrote the pregnancy into the show.
Lucille Ball's necessary and planned cesarean section in real life was scheduled for the same date that her television character gave birth.
There were several challenges from CBS, insisting that a pregnant woman could not be shown on television, nor could the word "pregnant" be spoken on-air.
After approval from several religious figures the network allowed the pregnancy storyline, but insisted that the word "expecting" be used instead of "pregnant."
(Arnaz garnered laughs when he deliberately mispronounced it as "'spectin'"). The episode's official title was "Lucy Is Enceinte,"
borrowing the French word for pregnant, however, episode titles never appeared. The birth made the first cover of TV Guide in January 1953.
Lucy Ball's business instincts were often astonishingly sharp, and her love for Arnaz was passionate, but her relationships with her children were sometimes strained.
Lucie Arnaz, her daughter, spoke of her mother's "controlling" nature. Ball was outspoken against the relationship that Desi Jr. had with Liza Minnelli.
Her close friends in the business included Ginger Rogers, Vivian Vance, Mary Wickes and Carole Cook.
In October 1956, Lucy Ball, Vivian Vance, Desi Arnaz, and William Frawley all appeared on a Bob Hope special on NBC, including a spoof of I Love Lucy,
the only time all four stars were together on a color telecast.
By the end of the 1950s, Desilu had become a large company, causing a good deal of stress for both Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz;
his increased drinking further compounded matters. On May 4, 1960, just two months after filming the final episode of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, the couple divorced.
Until his death in 1986, however, Arnaz and Lucille Ball remained friends and often spoke very fondly of each other. Her real-life divorce indirectly found its way
into her later television series, as she was always cast as a single woman.
The following year, Ball did a musical on Broadway, Wildcat, co-starring Paula Stewart. That marked the beginning of a thirty-year friendship between Lucy and Paula
Stewart, who introduced her to second husband Gary Morton, a Borscht Belt stand-up comic who was thirteen years younger than her.
Morton claimed he had never seen an episode of I Love Lucy due to his hectic work schedule. Lucille Ball immediately installed Morton in her production company,
teaching him the television business and eventually promoting him to producer. Morton also played occasional bit parts on Lucille Ball's various series.

[This was an instrumental hit in 1943 which made David Rose
and His Orchestra a household name; many LP albums followed
on the MGM label;
In the ASCAP Repertoire database, there is also a listing
for "Holiday For Strings Sig[nature] Closing" credited to
David Rose and Jack Lloyd (who also has Red Skelton Show
cues in his ASCAP listings.) Presumably it was Lloyd who
made the most well-known arrangement used on the air in
later years...]

performance, amateur recording and mix, and an
arrangement that seems to stop in the middle.)
