A man of today exhibiting the overall quality of the beloved classic movie male is rare.Submitted by: refinagenilk
“Both times I was pregnant, I mooned for hours over a baby photograph of Desi, hoping by some magic I would have a baby who looked just like him. Then we did a show where Lucy tells Ricky she is having a baby. She sends an anonymous note to him at his nightclub, requesting that he sing “Rock a-Bye Baby.” Ricky complies, going from table to table, singing the old nursery rhyme. In front of Lucy’s table, he looks into her eyes and suddenly realizes he is the father. When we did this scene before an audience, Desi was suddenly struck by all the emotion he’d felt when we discovered, after ten childlesss years of marriage, that we were finally going to have Lucie. His eyes filled up and he couldn’t finish the song; I started to cry, too. Vivian started to sniffle; even the hardened stagehands wiped their eyes with the backs of their hands. The director wanted retakes at the end of the show, but the audience stood up and shouted, “No, no!”
- Love, Lucy
