Death of Lucille Ball: April 26, 1989 Local News Coverage

[timrowzee]

There is no way to know how many lives she touched with her comedy. I'm just one.

[babybloo1995]

Desi and lucy were soulmates. Her heart couldn't take that he was gone </3

[SuperSongbird22]

She is reunited with her true husband, Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha III.....they are together forever :)

[2424cookie]

@SuperSongbird22 NICE NAME FOR RICKY....LOL

[SuperSongbird22]

@2424cookie That is his birth name

[2424cookie]

[TWINKYBUTTFUCK1975]

@SuperSongbird22 IN HELL THEY LIVE WITH ELVIS AND MICHAEL JACKSON!

[jennysyorkies]

I love her

[worldjocelyn]

happy birthday, rip <3

[aladdin1052]

Lucy was a true treasure. She brought joy to so many people, myself included. Even her last sitcom, while not very original, was still funnier than The Facts Of Life, its major competition.

[Mamipooh1]

I watch her everyday... she died when i was ten and at 31 I still watch her.. my kids watch her.. we love her and she has had such a positive impact on our lives even my kids

[cheeriosinabowl]

She was her funniest in the old I LOVE LUCY shows.  Classics forever.

The shows after that during the 60's, 70's and 80's became less funny. It was not the same without Ricky, Ethel and Fred.

RIP Lucy.

[ddbarnes11]

Thx for the laughs Lucille.

[ChristinaSeen]

love her

rip

[TWINKYBUTTFUCK1975]

@fran9860 NO SHE RATS IN HER PUSSY! AND AN OLD TAMPAX FROM 1972!

[BeatleMissMacca]

Ooh RIP Lucy ;(

[Bugalu67]

Lucy will forever remain in my heart.

[kenny8528]

thanks you!

[dbmrhi]

dbmrhi

[NatalieJeffers1]

The funniest woman of all time. Thanks Lucy!

[HueraRangel]

how did lucy die

[HueraRangel]

LUCY WILL BE DEARLY MISSED :(

[andyjalc]

No one can replace Lucille Ball.

[ThePaddyjoejr1]

She was very Hot & Sexy!

[johnson1095]

i loved the lady who did her on "Next Best Thing"

[TheSkeetergirl]

Oops! I am going to go out and throw myself under a train. RIP Lucy, love ya!

[TheSkeetergirl]

Lucy died in 1987

[TheJjiggity]

@TheSkeetergirl that would be correct if it weren't wrong. CHECK UR FAX MACHINE!

[DJSexLeopard]

FUCKING GOD DAMNED CIGARETTES KILLED HER!! STOP SMOKING PEOPLE IF YOU SMOKE!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR CIGGS SHE WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN ALIVE.

[raymieX]

Do you have any further Phoenix news materials or the news opens that went with these broadcasts?

[tenor175]

The day Lucy died, the laugher stopped. God needed a laugh so He sent for Lucy!!

[travis7310]

Lucille Ball was 100 times funnier than the "comedians" of today. She didn't have to make jokes about sex, politics, or disabilities in order to get laughs. She could just say "hello" and people would laugh!

She would be celebrating her 100th Birthday in April of this year. Happy Birthday, Lucy! One day, I'll be up there with you! :)

[Fredrocksfan33]

@travis7310 They said she was born augest 6th

[popstar27430]

@travis7310 what day of april is her birthday

[travis7310]

@popstar27430 I'm sorry. I meant August. Her Birthday is August 6th. I got the months backwards. Sorry about that.

[Younme21x]

@travis7310

Agreed!! :)

[AdrianWillis]

@travis7310 Yes that's right - but thing is, being comedian means you have to make people laugh of all sorts of things. The twist is, you have to make them laugh of things they know of, human things. And sex, politics and disabilities are all common things in our everyday life. I remember an episode of Lucy stuck in a TV and her husband turning the TV on so Lucy would get a shock of electricity. Now that is as inappropriate as talking about a guy with a handicap. So chill and don't diss.

[sunshineclassic]

R.I.P Lucille you have given us a blessing of your talent that will stay and live for centuries to come. I LOVE LUCY X

[clandestineone]

Betty's comment takes the cake :-)

[USFanLovesMinHo]

Lucky was a true talent and will be missed always. RIP girl!

[richardwha]

She would turn 100 this year.

[ricadrew]

So happy she was among us.......

I'll miss her forever!!!

[TheOioink]

If she was the funniest person around. Then no wonder Americans are all so sick.

[Beejjjjjj]

@TheOioink , stupid comment. It doesn't even make sense.

[USFanLovesMinHo]

@TheOioink If thats not the kettle calling the pot black.

[djkissbird]

I am related to her she was my Great Grandma's cousin rip Lucy!

[teejayandrade]

wow betty white !

[taco780]

She Was the Queen of Comedy, IMO

[ladybuggirl1982]

There will never be another Lucille Ball. She was a one of a kind gem and true comedian talent that can make anyone laugh.

[franklindavid]

She brought the chemistry !

Created the formula that made the show a success.

[MissKittyJunkie]

Kings (ex: Bob Hope) and Queens (ex: Lucille Ball) should never die

[ouilsonpapa]

@Lucille,

Ne pas oublier ce rôle étonnant :

"Two Smart People"... quand même diffusé sur FR3 (Cinéma de Minuit)

Lucille Ball (als Ricki Woodner), John Hodiak (als Ace Connors), Lloyd Nolan (als ...

En 1946, elle était en pleine forme !!!

[cestlaverite]

@ouilsonpapa , je suis d'acord. J'ai vu cet film et je l'amais beaucoup.

[ouilsonpapa]

@cestlaverite

Merci via Hotmail.

[amberlovesapplepie09]

too bad she died before i was born. i love lucille ball with all my heart, she was fantastic, <3

[LovinxoxoLife]

Watching this I seriously started crying :""""( I'm only 14, but My Mom and I have Loved Lucy since we could remember

[lenamay521]

OMG I used to LOVE I Love Lucy! I used to watch it every night back when it used to come on Nick at Nite.

[villi3131]

Amazing how good Desi and Lucy looked in their old age. I love them

[vccstudents]

I can watch that scene with her stomping on the grapes 40 times in a row and laugh just as hard every time!

[taco85403]

me and her have the same birthday date 8-6-11 me 8-6-86 sad tho

[PoppaBlue59]

I remember that my Mom cried when she heard the Lucy had passed away.

[PAMAROSHOUSE]

i was working at cedars sinai when she past very sad day they took her body out by the receiving dock like trash

[peachkim]

@PAMAROSHOUSE They did what?

[PAMAROSHOUSE]

@peachkim yup its sad but true

[cutie4u61288]

theirs betty white! haha love her and lucy is good too. haha

[cutie4u61288]

that vitevetavegamin whatever the hell its called, never gets old! Sorry I can't sleep

[chkjns]

Beautiful tribute, funny how the Spanish leapt out:

Una segura de las mas queridas . . . . .

Surely one of the most beloved . . . .

My Spanish skills: limited, but it's priceless to be able to pick up just a few special words at times, & understand the emotion from another's perspective, & see that it's, after all, the same as yours!

Even MORE surprising to see it's MY local news. I'm near 9 AV & Campbell, you still in the Valley? Funny, just had my big Lucy photo book in my hands yesterday!

[Beejjjjjj]

@chkjns , "Una de las figuras más queridas del mundo de entretenimiento" . . . one of the most beloved figures in the world of entertainment.

[TomRoykouffVideos]

@Lindawatcher

I believe Lucy is in Heaven making God laugh!

[6sen]

I was in college typing my term paper when I heard the news.It was as if my childhood ended

[nicholasbarwick]

were can i find the video of lucys daughter singing in the end part

[TrainSounds]

WE WILL MISS YOU LUCY!!!!!

[LuvMadonna626]

she dies too young.

[Phokhotic]

@LuvMadonna626 HOW MANY TIMES DID SHE DIE?

[LuvMadonna626]

@Phokhotic fuck off its called a spelling error you asshole. bit m e u pec og sit

[Phokhotic]

@LuvMadonna626 WHAT? I DON'T READ RETARD LANGUAGE!HEY CRY BABY TELL YOUR MOM I'VE GOT A DICK FOR HER TO CHEW ON.......YOU FUCKIN PRE-OP!

[LuvMadonna626]

@Phokhotic i didnt cry about it, i just fucking hate when assholes take it upon themselves to correct a spelling error that everyone gets except apparently you. and wtf pre-op? rly? and who's the baby in this situation? clearly the one who is telling me you have a dick for my mom to chew on. if she ever had your dick in her face, she'd probably bite it off.

[Phokhotic]

@LuvMadonna626 I'LL LET HER EAT MY DICK.NO PROBLEM.

[TWINKYBUTTFUCK1975]

@LuvMadonna626 SHUT THE FUCK UP,CRY BABY! AND WORD ON THE STREETS OF HOLLYWOOD IS THAT SHE SUCKED BLACK DICKS IN COMPTON FOR SOME CRACK ROCK!

[LuvMadonna626]

@TWINKYBUTTFUCK1975 BITCH, THE FUCK YOU TALKIN ABOUT!?!? my comment posted like 2 yrs ago?? and good for her if she sucked black dick for crack, i'm not hatin. btw did you rly like troll through pages of comments just to find one to disagree with? get your life sorted please, there's more important things than lucy's 22 yr old death

[TWINKYBUTTFUCK1975]

@LuvMadonna626 SHUT UP OR YOU'LL JOIN LUCY! YOU LITTLE LADYBOY,I'LL FUCK THE LINING OUT OF YOUR ASSHOLE!

[2424cookie]

@TWINKYBUTTFUCK1975 WOW LOOK ON YOUTUBE TO FIND STUFF ON LUCILLE BALL AND I FIND THIS

WELLLLLL THE WORLD HAS CHANGED...LOL

[ritter89]

@LuvMadonna626 Too young? How long do you think humans live? The average lifespans is only 76 for males and 79 for females. People who make it beyond that are often frail, disabled and diminished in some way. 79 is a pretty full life compared to many other people who die in middle age or younger.

[Beejjjjjj]

@ritter89 , she was 77 which isn't young. But IMO, still a bit young to die. Both my grandmothers lived into their 90s and were not frail until near the end. I have a 96 year-old aunt who is still very vigorous. Nothing frail about her at all. Lucy's own brother lived to 92, and her cousin (who she referred to as her sister) is still alive and in her 90s (and not frail from what I understand).

[bernadetteak]

I agree it may be old, but still to remember what we once had and now is gone is so sad...

[Muirmaiden]

Lucy died on my tenth birthday, but she lives on!

[ab110795]

Excuse me, it was funny at the beggining cuz the guy said, "Inside the supreme court, the judges were listening," And then it shows LUCY and ETHEL with the candies and the audience laughing! So they were listening to I LOVE LUCY! GET IT?

[SylionBinkx]

I can remember watching the I Love Lucy show with my mother and grandmother when I was as young as three years old. I am 28 now. She died around the same time that my grandmother did and I can remember crying my little eyes out when I heard the news.

[RaceIsOpen]

that was funny when she did that tv advertisement commercial..lol...what a talent!

[Ipetratz]

Apparently she was a very bitter woman in much of life.

[Skywatcher97731]

Whenever I'm depressed I watch "I Love Lucy" She could always make me laugh.

[SpayNeuter2SaveLives]

RIP Lucy...your comedy, like your beauty, is priceless. She will live on for millennia to come...

[TheFrankaria]

I remember her hilarity on the John Wayne movie set, but I can't find it.

[lauraisawsome1]

I Love you always and forever. R.I.P Lucy, I will miss you. Also you were the best comedian actress to ever live.

[TexasToast09]

what valley are they talking about. I live in the Rio grande valley in South Texas. Is that the one or was this coverage from california?

[rachelazw]

@TexasToast09, there are thousands of valleys throughout the country, not just in South Texas and California. Here, they're talking about Phoenix.

[wonderedmario]

if she was still alive today she would be 99

[rachelazw]

@wonderedmario, no, she would be 98 today. In August she would turn 99.

[Dulce011]

i love her always and forever she makes my day r.i.p lucy

[Eden7zq]

=c rest in peace... i ♥lucy

[BlueBloodRose]

I was only one year old when my favorite actress died. :'(

Rest in peace Lucy. Now me and my Baby enjoy your show together and will remember you forever.

[usa02]

That is former Cleveland,Ohio TV Personality Dave Patterson doing the news for KTSP (now KSAZ) FOX-10 in Phoenix,Arizona. Patterson retired in 1999.

[LucyFan1001]

:( Aww so sad even though it has been a while since her death its still talked about...We miss you Lucille Ball you were a good person....The ending is also very sad ♥Lucy and Desi missing them both♥

[shemstock]

A lady all the way...elegance and humor...how sexy is that? I will always love you beautiful lady!!!

[Caddichris]

Priceless!

[animalvidsforyou]

even though she died long ago,it is still sad!RIP

[WellDressedDiva]

Simply the greatest beautiful lady commedian of all time. I remember the day she died and the grief I felt ... will always treasure her.

[KadeyJoh2010]

Lucy will always be a cherished comedian in my heart :)

"Yes Mom, I love Lucy too."

That made me burst into tears!!! Lucie loved her mother as much as we did!

[TrainSounds]

RIP Lucille Ball 1911-1989

[nickwalker1594]

Lucille Ball 1911-1989 Rest In Peace Lucy, we will always remember and love you, forever and for always.

[Popefan1]

I wish Lucy was still alive today.

[Phokhotic]

@Popefan1 I WANNA FUCK BETTY WHITE TOO I BET HER PUSS SMELLS LIKE MOTHBALLS

[newyorkeastside]

@Phokhotic you would make a nice couple, you and Betty White.....you and your anorexic maggot dangling from your gray pubic hair!

[newyorkeastside]

@Phokhotic @Phokhotic you and your anorexic maggot dangling from your gray pubic hair snuggled beneath your stretch marked gut. Don't make filthy comments on here you stroke mouthed alcoholic.

[TWINKYBUTTFUCK1975]

@Phokhotic LOL! IT SMELLS LIKE BEN GAY!

[LuigiDude1808]

@Popefan1 yeah, but she probably would have died of old age; she would have been 99.

[ritter89]

@LuigiDude1808 She did die of old age. The avg lifespan for women is only around 80.

[Beejjjjjj]

@ritter89 , she didn't die of old age, she died from a ruptured aorta, which may have been impacted by years of smoking (though she had quit smoking four years earlier, the damage may have already been done). John Ritter died of the same thing at age 55. Did he die of old age?

[Shesnoin]

@Popefan1 Just posted a comment to a different post where some guy laughed at her death - no doubt the plonker will come back with some pathetic attempt at being funny! There is never a reason to laugh at someone's demise unless they were a murderer, rapist, child molester etc.... some are jealous of her fame - don't envy it - enjoy it as part of her life - and start working on parts of your own life you can improve is what I would say to them.

[USFanLovesMinHo]

@Shesnoin Some people are just mental! After all these years I am still sad about her death.

[bobszvetics1]

@Popefan1 SO DOES EVERYBODY

[Impulse282]

@Popefan1  Lucy lives on forever.

[jluistl]

At 00:06 it is like a scene of Drake and Josh :) now we know where they took the idea xD

[rocktigerz123]

yea ik lol in phil of the future pim acted like a mirror to this 80 yr old woman haha Drake & Josh sushi lol they gt the idea from i love lucy

[PaulB2Kool]

yea your right

[81Nickelbabe]

There are just entertainers that have the talent of breaking down the language/culture barriers. Lucille Ball was definitely one of them!!!

[SyhLasFra3]

I was born in January 1988,that makes me 1 when she passed.I still watch her on TVLand when i can.

[homegirl44]

and you're probably older too. I meant my COMBINATION of age, race, and upbrigning. Not JUST race,m please read my answer carefully again. If where you're from many teenage, black girls, from the ghetto, watch I Love Lucy let me know where this place exists, I'm quite curious...

[pepperlynn20]

i wasnt even 1 years old yet when she died, cuz my bday is in august, but when i got older i always watched I Love Lucy with my mom and sisters gosh when i watched this clip i almost cryed cuz its sad that we dont have people now days thats all that funny like she was and still is i watch her now on the Hallmark channel and it never gets old to watch and she brightens up my day when i watch her RIP Lucy

[MadsNoble]

I wasn't born yet. I was born in 1996

[homegirl44]

vieetverite, you OBVIOUSLY misunderstood what I was saying. I never said there was anything wrong with minorities like me liking a white artist. What I said was, Lucy is old school and these days you wouldn't hear of a lot of people my race, my upbringing, or AGE liking her, but because I DO that just goes to show how many people she's truly impacted and how talented she is. I believe in we're all equal so please save the preaching for when its NEEDED, thanks ;)

[vieetverite]

Yes, I misunderstood what you said because what you wrote was not clear. You're saying much more in your response to my comment than you did in your original comment. Yes, you made reference to your age in the original comment. But in the sentence where you indicated you're "someone you probably wouldn't see as a Lucy fan," you related this only to the fact that you're a black woman who loves hip hop and R&B. If that's not what you meant to imply, then I thank you for the clarification.

[homegirl44]

And you are welcome.

[homegirl44]

I'll always love Lucy, I'm 21 years old which made me 1 when she died. Im a black woman, love hip hop and R&B...basically someone you probably wouldn't see as a Lucy fan....but that just shows how wonderful she really was. RIP Lucy

[vieetverite]

White people are fans of black artists, so why shouldn't black people be fans of white artists? Lucy was a big fan (and friend) of Sammy Davis Jr, and vice versa. Isn't that they way it should be? If a great talent can bring you enjoyment with their art, then why shouldn't we just enjoy them regardless of the color of their skin? I love Lucy, I love Wanda Sykes, I love David Letterman, I love Dave Chapelle. I love funny people.

[dimpledabble]

I don;t know why not. I am a black woman and I grew up watching Lucy, most blacks that I know watch Lucy. Where did you get this generalizaton from?

[Jeannenyc57]

she was the best!

[num1Jaysta]

Of course I don't remember this, since I had just turned 1 on the 17th that same month. I found out she died along with the rest of the cast during E true H Story in the 90's. RIP Lucy

[iwantwhatiget]

I was 1 also lol

[coursestudent]

Bunch of yougin's. I was like 13 or something.

[alex01M9L1]

I didn`t infer anything...BUT, if you think about it, only a competitor would harbor negative feelings towards Lucy. A fan wouldn`t, and someone who isn`t a fan wouldn`t come to see this clip in the 1st place.

[alex01M9L1]

Who are you? @LargeLindaR.. ..Are you jealous of Lucy because you were never able to measure up to her?? It`s a fact of life.. .. that some celebrities become legends, while others become has beens.

[rachelazw]

Alex, if you're inferring that @LargeLindaR is Linda Ronstadt (as some people have been fooled into believing), please don't think that. This person is pretending to be her and I would just love it if Ms. Ronstandt were informed of this imposter who is defaming her. That, after all, is ILLEGAL @LargeLindaR. Some of us know better: that you're just a talentless loser who has nothing productive to do with his time.

[TheAngelmj15]

i miss her so much..but i'm only 14..and i never met her..i don't care. i still like her...michael jackso too..ilove him so much..i love them both..i love people.....

[rachelazw]

LargeLindaR's account has been shut down. :)

[thepeacelovingguy]

rip lucille ball we will all miss you and stuff wish i was growing up when she was a live because she was a good lady and real funny

[MsDeborahLee]

I still miss her even though her shows still go on

[LargeLindaR]

bye bye LUCY!!!

[TrainSounds]

Lucy would cry like a baby.

[LargeLindaR]

I am back! My puter was down for a few days- so sorry I could not be on here posting my words of wisdom and uplifting thoughts. Anyway, I think we all can agree that we are glad Lucy is dead. Her cornball brand of humor is about as funny as hemoroid surgery or a spinal tap. She is in a special warm place now- hope she dressed light......

[VLNevada]

LargeLindaR your back? You don't like Lucy, but you come back to this video again?

You are a loser who has nothing better to do than post on you tube pretending to be Lind Ronstadt.

[angelincal]

wow this news cast is way before ktsp became ksaz then to a fox station,wow phoenix skyline in the 80's

[LargeLindaR]

Lucy has been in hell for 20 years now.......

[EmmaLoveJen]

That was beyond inappropriate.

[freakye4u21]

why would u say such a horrible? what do u have against lucy ball?

[lucyfan1976]

your an idiot!

[gatoperezoso]

i cried too watching this...she was really special...lucy will always be loved....

[yaywhewclips242]

She led a wonderful life. FIVE series (remeber life w/ Lucy and a 1980's rev series (name??)). She means a lot to us here in Western NY. She was born in Jamestown (South of Buffalo, also was Natalie Merchant). I have yet to go to the Museum in Jametown, but I hear it's very small, And because the collection is growing too much, it's supposedly moving. TV LAND went there for "Lucy Fest" several years ago.

[bryandamadman]

She smoked 800 packs of cigarettes a day, what did you expect?

[vidayverdad2]

She quit smoking four years before her death.

[animalvidsforyou]

How sad....

I remember them well,watch them still after all these years.

[artemkamajesty]

i cried when i listened to this song of Lucie Arnaz in this video

[girlytubegirl]

The world will never have another Lucy!!!

[phryedbanana]

Adore the effort you put in to this.  Old tapes. And bilingual as well. Fantastic!

[Sg1lover2667]

it makes me cry seeing this...I Love Lucy.

[fluffymitzi]

dear lucy, my mom was the double of u and she was called Lucy too.

Two beautiful ladies , give em hell girls wherever u r .!! god bless xx

[kitamuragenji]

I love also LUCY  now!

[PaulB2Kool]

she is in a better place now
