Lucille Ball and William Holden

You'll probably recognize the two subjects in the following picture...
Yes, they are Lucille Ball (duh!) and William Holden, the guest star who appeared on I Love Lucy's famous episode, LA At Last! Yes, he received a pie in his face and yes, he lighted Lucy's fake nose on fire!

Lucy and Bill went back a long way. They became great friends when they starred in the movie Miss Grant Takes Richmond.

They were laughing so naturally in this picture because for some reason, while doing an intimate kissing scene, they kept breaking into laughter again and again. Finally, they got comfortable enough. I supposed it was because they were good friends. Bill would confide in Lucy about relationship problems and Lucy would provide sound advice. They always teased each other and told each other funny stuff just to make each other lose the poker face.

I love Old Hollywood, where people were friendly and nice and simpler. Well, comparatively so anyway!

I Love Lucy: LA at Last

This episode is one of my favorites! I had to re-watch it 5 times before I stopped giggling like mad!
William Holden was Desi Arnaz's and Lucille Ball's good friend. Their friendship went a long way back, when Lucille was just a starlet. When no one believed in Desi and Lucille's marriage, William Holden did encourage them. So, Bill Holden was always one of the regular invitees to Desi and Lucille's fun parties back at Chatsworth on their Desilu ranch.

Lucille respected Bill a lot. They remained great friends the rest of their lives.
