I hate it when a dead persons birthday crosses a milestone that they absolutely could have made it to, or at least closer to than their actual age at death. Too bad.
She died April 26, 1989 at age 77.
Her last show on television was Life with Lucy, which is available on Youtube. It was a flop and Ball felt scorned by the nations television audience. She didn’t deserve to go out on that sour note. What a shame…
Some better and classic moments below. The first was one of the most memorable for me, where Lucy keeps stealing Ricky’s punchlines. I loved it cuz I was a show-stealing little puke at that young age (long before I matured into the Richard you know today).
