Was Lucy murdered?

Can a heart attack cause back pains?

That's a lovely picture of her. Gorgeous blue eyes.

She was a 77-year-old alcoholic who smoked like a chimney.

Well, don’t look at me!

She was planning to be murdered, but Gary talked her out of it.

R2 Her overdrawn lipstick looked fucking ridiculous though.

[quote] Was Lucy murdered?

Possibly. The other australopithecines were annoyed that she was always asking to speak to their managers.

She died on Carol Burnett's birthday.

No one gets away with throwing coffee at me.

Carol did it.

The cigarettes murdered her. They thought they were in her will.

She was a very, very unhappy and unpleasant woman.

Her daughter is a gem though.

I know that Lucy Beale was murdered, but I hadn't heard anything about Lucy Ricardo, Lucy Carmichael, or Lucy Carter.

But I do know that Lucy Barker killed Lucille Ball's career.

Her voice was coarse and gravelly. Her lungs were black husks from a lifetime of heavy smoking. She was lucky to make it to 77.

I don't smoke.

Henna is known to turn arteries into strips of hard licorice.

Those four packs of Phillip Morris per day were ancillary.

[quote] Her lungs were black husks from a lifetime of heavy smoking.

But that's not what she died of.

She died of an overdrawn lip line.

I'd had enough of that bitch!

77 was a ripe old age 30 years ago.

She killed herself, just couldn't stand to listen to BABALU one more goddamn time!

R6 That was very fashionable, at the time. Many pictures of movie-stars at the time, have a similar look.

It was a young Debra Messing!

She certainly was! By the critics, in 1986 when Life With Lucy was inflicted on the public.

R23 Actually, the tv sitcom star that looked the most like Lucy, is Reba.

Her kids did put her in a $250 crypt in LA. Just sayin'.

Not many people know this=I just learned this, earlier today.

R26 I doubt it was only $250 in Forest Lawn. Also, Gary would have been in charge, so the blame falls on him. She is now back home in New York, in a family plot.

I knew her. She was gruff, but had a wonderful, kind heart beneath the exterior.

The media was terrible to her as she got older. The shit she got from the press would never fly in today's society.

She was murdered by Ricky after he found out she got him fired from MGM.

R28 People, including the press, just could not accept that she got old. She was really the first celebrity to be faced with having to compete with basically three younger versions of herself playing constantly. The older movie-stars had it easier, because their movies weren't on constantly.

Yes, op, she was murdered. The four packs of cigarettes over 30 years had nothing at all to do with it.

From [R26]'s video: "Here is Forrest Tucker. Most of him, anyway." Anybody know the story on this? He had a legendary penis. Did someone "rescue" it and keep it as a souvenir?

R1 yes, in women heart attacks can present that way. It has been described as feeling like a painful bra, a tightness around the upper body -- front and back.

Did anyone check on Carolyn Appleby's whereabouts that day?

Stone pillow my ass.

Booze and dope.

Why do people think she was unhappy?

If you ever saw her on a talk show or a game show during the last 10 years of her life, she usually seemed stiff and belligerent and ill-tempered and all around unpleasant.

I think I remember reading that Liz Smith, lover of all stars in any shape or form, found Lucy to be the most unpleasant and worst interview of her life.

That overdrawn lip line was called "The Joan Crawford".

And that she wished she had never met her in person.

The charge nurse killed her after Lucy kept demanding she play backgammon with her.

Surprisingly this never comes up around here, but I remember watching a documentary made by a gay guy who in his early 20s formed an intimate friendship with Lucille Ball in her final years. He would of course play backgammon with her and I think she may have left him her Chrysler LeBaron convertible when she died...

That guy, the author of I Loved Lucy, or something like that, does pop up here from time to time

Yes, she was; bitch pulled that football prank one time too many.

The candy striper killed her after Lucy threw her bedpan at her and screamed, "You call this clean?"

R32 My interpretation is that it is a penis joke, but the joke is that they couldn't fit all of him into the crypt.

Did Lucy suffer brain damage the last ten years of her life because of the drinking and the heart cutting off oxygen to her brain due to smoking is a better question. She seems like an advanced alcoholic in her later tv interviews

Could it have been the first death from Covid-19?

I can't recall ever hearing about Lucy drinking, let alone being a drunk.
