[Dr. Thorne]

I used to watch repeats of "I Love Lucy" year after year until I worked with a guy at a NYC restaurant who told me a story about her.

He was thrilled to get a chance to wait on her and her husband Gary Morton at an upscale restaurant.

When the waiter asked what she would like, her husband said, "She'll have the steak."

"How would you like that done, Miss Ball?" the waiter asked. She never looked up.

"She doesn't speak to the help" said Morton.

I believe this story. She was a nasty piece of work.

Patty Duke suggested that in one if her memoirs. She dated Lucy’s son.
