[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 240761, member: 5079"] Perhaps the most infamous of the guest appearances on Lucy's show, and wildly diverging accounts of both star's behaviors. Lucy's hairdresser said Joan was blind drunk, worse than Tallulah Bankhead had been. A mutual friend of Joan and Lucille's who was on the set said Joan wasn't drunk, only nervous and that Lucy was instantly hostile towards her. Given the [I]quirks [/I]of the two ladies, both scenarios seem equally believable. Whatever the reason, Joan is pretty bad on the show; skittish and for some weird reason sounds like Bette Davis. Lucy's counter-complaint about the Burtons is that they were giving lazy, mumbly performances and not keeping up with the rigors of the production. I suspect they thought the week was going to a romp, like being on a Dean Martin special -- get drunk and read off queue cards. I don't know what the other side of that tale is, but Martin Short seems like someone who would be fidgeting and annoying; if he sat behind me on an airplane, I feel like I'd want to punch him too.
