Desi Arnaz, who had just died five days earlier following a long bout with cancer, had written a touching statement for this event, which is read here by Robert Stack. (Lucy had to fly almost immediately to Washington following Desi's funeral in order to attend this event.) Lucy struggles to keep her composure, but the mood quickly changes when Bea Arthur, Valerie Harper and Pam Dawber come out for a musical tribute to Lucille Ball -- a musical medley of WILDCAT, MAME and I LOVE LUCY, set to special new lyrics.
"I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had this thing to keep me occupied. Desi died and my show got canceled. If I hadn't had this, if I hadn't this reassurance that I was still wanted, I don't think that I could have gone on." -- Lucille Ball, speaking about the Kennedy Center Honors.

I don't care what they said or did. Lucy and Desi could never really stop loving eachother. No matter how hard they tried to hide it, they were always deeply in love. Meant to be together and always will be in my heart. haha, I love lucy. P.S I Love Lucy, was never just a title <3
Can somebody fill me in on something?? Although Bea seemed to have given Lucille some respect here.... I've been hearing that something happened between the two,,, and Bea Arthur said something cruel about Lucille. I can't figure out what happened though. Anyone?
I think you're refering to the issues over the casting of Mame. Angela Lansbury and Bea were in the broadway production of Mame together and were very close friends. But for the movie they chose to cast Lucille as auntie mame over Angela. Because of this choice Bea did not want to be in the movie but felt obligated to since her then husband was the director. She never said anything cruel to Lucille and she really respected her but she always made it clear that she did not like the casting.
