[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 240665, member: 57984"] Ball became infamous in restaurants and the airline industry -- they hated to see her coming, she was so demanding and fussy and for whom nothing was ever right. Comic Martin Short tells a story about sitting behind Lucy and Gary Morton on a flight and it was a bit of nightmare, with Morton acting co-dependently with his wife, even threatening Short at one point. Elizabeth Taylor on the TONIGHT show said that she didn't enjoy being screamed at as Lucy directed her sitcom when Taylor and Burton were on it, asserting that Lucy "wasn't the way she appears on screen" and snarkily added "[I]but she's an icon![/I]" And there's the story about Joan Crawford's cameo in 1968 when, from the sidelines and watching Lucy throwing a tantrum in rehearsal, Crawford quietly muttered: "My God, and thy say[B][I][SIZE=5] I'm[/SIZE][/I][/B] a bitch...!" So even the queen of the movies was cowed in the presence of the queen of television. [I]The Two Lucilles:[/I] [ATTACH type="full"]23147[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
