This documentary is excellent. I never knew Lucille Ball was such a big fan, understandably so. Is anyone else watching this documentary?
OP is worse than Beth Jarrett.

I downloaded but haven’t watched yet. I am a fellow type 1 who was also diagnosed as an adult so I want to see how she dealt.

R1 If its starting all over again—the lying, the covering up, the disappearing for hours—I won't stand for it, I can't stand for it, I really can't!

Do we believe her much younger husband really loved her? He was with her for 33 years, retired at 39 and she left an estate of 60 million dollars.

R5 I do, although I wouldn’t be surprised if he cheated on her. There’s a moment towards the end of the doc when the two are shown attending an awards ceremony, and he tries to grab her hand, but she subtly pulls away, ignoring him just as he says something and approaching someone on the red carpet—a reporter or security personnel—to ask for directions. It’s a brief moment but spoke volumes. Anyway, I think their relationship was genuine.
And I love that Mare was able to recognize that she was icy and aloof until late in life.

Even thought two bitches, or the same bitch, came in here alluding to another thread, I just found it.

Why isn't she more of a DL staple?
Why did it have to be that God awful Vivian Vance?

R8 Have you been on here long? MTM is a DL icon.

The other thread is closed now.
I just watched it. Spent too much time on how the MTM show was so important to feminism and not enough time on MTM's personal life.
They didn't mention her friendship with Betty White at all. She and Betty and their husbands used to party together a lot apparently.
And her son's "accidental" death? Not much to say about that? COME ON.

She was fortunate she was married to a doctor. She had several health complications when she got older, and was legally blind. Her resulting health problems were the result of her excessive drinking for a decade after she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
