If anyone has seen the Barbara Walters inteview with Lucille Ball and Gary Morton could you tell me what was said in detail. I have never seen it before.

Thanks

Well...I have something, but I don't remember if it was the whole interview or not. It's been sooooo long since I watched it.

What do you want to know because i'll have trouble stopping, it;s a favorite of mine. The first version i got was a short one Barbara put on as a special with two other people, i think it was John Wayne and Carson. The next one i got was the complete version that aired on Lifetime or something. You get a tour of parts of the house, living room, den master bedroom and bath, entrance hall, garage pool area, where they are interviewed. This is the famous interview where Lucy calls Desi a LOSER, but not in the sense we say it today, she adds, whatever he built up, he felt he had to tear down, and claims he's still that way today. Gary tries to talk in the short version but gets cut off by Lucy repeatedly, in the second version, they are shown as loving. She says that he takes very good care of her and she nearly went nuts when she retired and he helped her cope. She mentions the kids, as she always does, that she was overprotective as a mom because she had them late in life. This is where she tells the famous chopped chicken livers story. Anything specific you want to know?
