LUCY & THE JOANS!

Lucille Ball’s Collabs with Women Named Joan

A remarkable number of talented women named Joan - and even a few memorable characters - were part of the Lucyverse.

JOAN BANKS (1918-1989) 

Joan Banks’ only credit with Lucille Ball was in “Fan Magazine Interview” (1954) in which she played reporter Eleanor Harris, assigned to do a story on Ricky Ricardo’s wife aka Lucy Ricardo. Here character name was a tribute to real-life writer Eleanor Harris. 

JOAN BLONDELL (1906-1979)

Joan Blondell (sister of Gloria Blondell) was active as a performer concurrently with Lucille Ball. On “The Lucy Show,” she played Joan Brenner, a character intended to fill the gap after the departure of Vivian Vance. But she did not get along with Lucille Ball, and after a shouting match in front of the studio audience, Blondell was dismissed after just two episodes. 

JOAN CAREY (1921-2015) 

Joan Carey was born Joan Somerville Norbury on February 18, 1921 in Yorkshire, England. As a background performer and stand-in, she appeared on many episodes of “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show,” generally uncredited. 

JOAN CAULFIELD (1922-1991)

Joan Caulfield played the role of Liz Cooper on the television adaptation of “My Favorite Husband” (1953-55). Lucille Ball played the role on radio, but chose instead to play Lucy Ricardo. Caulfield and Ball were later both guest stars on “Bob Hope’s Leading Ladies” in 1966.  

JOAN CRAWFORD (1905-1977)

Joan Crawford was born Lucille Fay LeSueur. The Oscar-winning actress was mentioned on several episodes of “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show” before making a guest appearance in “Lucy and the Lost Star” in 1968. The episode was originally intended for Gloria Swanson, hence the non-specific title. The title “Lucy and Joan” had already been used when Joan Bennet guest-starred.  As with Bennett there was off-stage friction between Crawford and Ball. 

JOAN COLLINS (1933)

English-born actress Joan Collins hosted the “All Star Party for Lucille Ball” in 1984. She was also seen with Ball on “Bob Hope’s Leading Ladies” (1966), “Women I Love: Beautiful But Funny” (1982), “Night of 100 Stars II” (1985), and “Friar’s Club Tribute to Gene Kelly” (1985). 

JOAN CROSBY (1924-1992)

Joan Crosby was a journalist who wrote about Lucille Ball and was the one-time president of the Hollywood Women’s Press Club. As such, she played herself (above far right) in “Lucy Meets the Burtons” (1970). 

JOAN FONTAINE (1917-2013)

Born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland in Tokyo, she was the sister of Olivia de Havilland. She appeared with Lucy (and two other Joans) in “Bob Hope’s Leading Ladies” (1966). In 1959 she appeared on an episode of “Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse” hosted by Desi Arnaz. 

JOAN GRANT

Joan Grant is the character played by Lucille Ball in The Marines Fly High (1940). She runs a cocoa plantation in the South American jungle and allows a platoon of US Marines to stay there. Two of the Marines tussle over her affections. When she is kidnapped, the two Marines unite to save her.

JOAN RIVERS (1933-2014)

Joan Alexandra Molinsky was born in New York City and became one of the top female comedians of all time. She co-starred with Lucille Ball on “Here’s Lucy” in “Lucy and Joan Rivers Do Jury Duty” (1973) where Rivers played Joan Reynolds. She was the first female guest-host of "The Tonight Show”  interviewing Lucille Ball three times.

JOAN SWIFT (1933-2016) 

Joan Swift was a frequent background player who had a few lines on “The Lucy Show” and “Here’s Lucy.”  Three of her characters were also named Joan. Her final screen appearance was in “Lucy Gets Lucky” (1975). 

During her long career in Hollywood, Lucille Ball also worked with or employed Joan Benny (Jack’s daughter), Joan Marshall (”Star Trek”), Joan O’Brien (”Shower of Stars”), Joan Fairfax (”Tonight Show with Jack Paar”), Joan Staley (”The Untouchables”), and Joan Woodbury (”There Goes My Girl”). 

BONUS JOANS

JOAN OF ARC (1412-1431)

In “Lucy the Skydiver” (1970), Lucy Carter hears the voices of strong women like Florence Nightingale and Joan of Arc, the Americanized name of the French saint and warrior Jeanne d'Arc.

"I MARRIED JOAN” starring JOAN DAVIS

From 1952 to 1955 Joan Davis (1912-1961) starred in the sitcom “I Married Joan,” which was NBC’s answer to the popularity of “I Love Lucy.”  Comic actress Davis had appeared with Lucille Ball in the 1933 film Bunker Bean. Like Lucy, Davis used her own first name and was a scatterbrained housewife. Her husband (Jim Backus) was a judge. Both shows featured Mary Jane Croft, Bobby Jellison, Shirley Mitchell, Sandra Gould, Margie Liszt, Jerry Hausner, Elvia Allman, Myra Marsh, Phil Arnold, Dick Elliott, Robert Foulk, Joseph Kearns, Maxine Semon, Don Brodie, Hal March, Richard Reeves, Herb Vigran, Norman Varden, Harry Bartell, Kay Wiley, Charlotte Lawrence, Frank Nelson, Frank Gerstle, Vivvi Janis, George Neise, Ross Elliott, Verna Felton, Fritz Feld, Mabel Paige, Rolfe Sedan, Paul Dubov, Maurice Marsac, Peter Leeds, Shepard Menken, Strother Martin, Junie Ellis, Florence Bates, Sam Hearn, Mary Treen, and Hans Moebus. Like Lucille Ball, Joan Davis also served as Executive Producer of her series, which, like “I Love Lucy,” was filmed at General Service Studios.

Another Scam alert for Artists

Another Scam Alert for Artists Eventually I figured out that it was that old, familiar Academic Event Organizer scam. But it's sneaky! https://wp.me/pLP9Y-5fD #academiceventorganizer #scam #fraud #certifiedbankdraft #cashierscheck #bankcertifiedcheck

Today I received a message in my email from my website’s comment form. Now, I do absolutely get cold contacts through this form that are absolutely legit and lead to perfectly good projects. Some of my favorite projects have come from cold contacts from that form. However, it’s the internet. Not everything on the internet is safe or true. Just for self-preservation, I’m always just a little…

Don't talk to me about self-respect. That's something you tell yourself you got when you got nothing else. What kind of self-respect is there living on aspirin tablets and chicken salad sandwiches? Look Marty, the only thing that counts is that stuff you take to the bank, that filthy buck that everybody sneers at, but slugs to get. I know how you feel. You're a nice guy. But the world isn't for nice guys. You've got to kick and punch and belt your way up because nobody's going to give you a lift. You've got to do it yourself, because nobody cares about us except ourselves.

Can I request a story for Bayverse Kids, Were The oldest kids going on there first mission /patrol

U can do it if u want I'm not forcing u to do it :)

NYPD Special Task Force, team 2 (Fluff?/Angst?/Crack?)

Children Series

Bayverse!Turtles x reader

A/N: I recommend you read Romeo’s first patrol before this one;) Romeo, Joan, Galileo, Sunny and Marcello’s first patrol without their parents around, and things happen. Focuses mainly on Romeo and Marcello.

Warnings: Fighting, mentioning of former injury, mentioning of wanting to strangle a butterfly, lol.

Today was a special day. A truly special day. The NYPD Special Task  Force, team 2 was going on their first patrol, without their fathers to supervise them. Sunny and Marcello had now been going on patrol with their fathers and the three oldest kids for three months, and now police chief Vincent had decided it was time. And tonight, as the two teams made their way to the roofs of New York City, they would for the first time not be going in the same direction.

“Okay, here’s the plan”, Romeo said, squatting down on the roof in front of his team, having all four half turtles listening to him. “Chief Vincent says there’s been a lot of suspicious activity on the east side, so she has asked us to take a look at that. In the meantime, Leonardo will take team-”.

“Did you just call dad by his first name?”, Marcello asked, causing the others to stuff a chuckle.

“Dude, cut it out, I’m trying to be professional”, Romeo said annoyed.

“This happened quicker than I thought it would”, Joan chuckled. “Continue. Where are our dads going?”

“They are doing a stake out at a bank. In the light of the last few bank robberies, there’s reason to believe that they will strike again, and they think they know which bank it’s going to be”, Romeo explained.

“They’re following a pattern”, Galileo butted in. “I saw it on my dad’s screen. It’s mapped out and all. 95% sure that bank is going to be hit tonight”.

“What about the last 5%?”, Sunny asked. “What bank are they on?”

“The hell do I know”, Gali said, shrugging his shoulders while Marcello rolled his eyes. Romeo and Joan gave each other a knowing look. Tonight was going to be a loooong night.

“Okay, let’s get moving”, Romeo said, standing back up before turning towards the edge of the roof.

The group of five jumped over and across the roofs of the city, going further and further east, until they came upon the place chief Vincent had directed them to. A construction side not far from the water. Here they stayed at the top of the construction, keeping an eye out on the ground below.

“Soooo”, Sunny said from her sitting position on the side of the construction, her legs dangling over the edge. “What are we looking for again?”

“Any suspicious activity so we can report it back to chief Vincent”, Romeo said, keeping a strong eye on the ground below.

“Glad she was specific”, Marcello mumbled sarcastically, making Gali smile.

“And what do we do if we see anything suspicious?”, Sunny asked, as happy as she always was.

“Then we notify police chief Vincent”, Romeo answered.

“What?”, Marcello asked, turning his full attention towards his brother. “We’re not going to do anything?”

“Only if Vincent tells us to”, Joan said nonchalantly, earning an approving nod from Romeo.

“Why?”, Marcello asked, almost sounding insulted.

“It’s our first patrol alone. Chief Vincent’s order, not mine”, Romeo shrugged.

“Bullshit”, Marcello mumbled, turning back around, looking down on the construction site beneath them.

All five of them sat on the roof for a few hours, waiting for anything to happen. Every once in a while, they would listen in on the police radio, in order to hear if anything was happening anywhere else. Maybe the expected bank robbery. But nothing. Everybody was still waiting around. Strange… They all thought something would have happened by now…

All five of the young half turtles sat around, eyes scanning every centimeter of the construction sight. And as the third hour passed by, Marcello was almost ready to give up. Throw his hands in the air, contact chief Vincent and tell her that he was done - anything just do something useful. But then something flashed in the shadows beneath him.

Marcello sat up, looking directly at the shadow. And for a split second he saw it again. A person. A person hiding in the dark.

“Gotcha”, he said, getting ready to make his way down there, only for Romeo to try and grab him.

“No! We’re supposed to tell Vincent!”

“Tell her yourself! I’m tired of sitting around!” And with those words, Marcello was gone, grabbing a hold of his sword from his shell on the way down. Marcello caught the shadow person by surprise, the small gasp behind their mask giving it away. Fully dressed in black with nothing but their eyes visible, Marcello was quite proud of creating such a reaction.

“Surprise”, he said, flashing them a cheeky smile. He expected the person in front of him to be hesitant, especially at the sight of nagamaki in his hand. But nope. Whoever this was, they weren’t scared whatsoever. With a yell they caught him by surprise, kicking out against his face. Marcello dodged, frowning at them with his mouth open. “Hey! That wasn’t nice!”

“Marcello! Watch out!”, sounded Joan’s voice, followed by the clinging of clashing weapons. Marcello just managed to catch a glimpse of his cousin, pushing back a secondary attacker that tried to get him from behind. More attackers came in as the others jumped into action.

“I told you we had to wait for Vincent’s orders!”, Romeo yelled at his brother, swinging his odachi at his attacker.

“And wait around all night? You must be crazy”, Marcello chuckled, doing a swing against his opponent. But his opponent was quick and well trained. They used dirty tricks that took Marcello by surprise time and time again, and soon he found himself on the ground, his nagamaki laying just a few meters away from him. This caused Romeo’s big brother instincts to kick in, stepping between the two of them, taking over the fight. But as soon as the two of them laid eyes on each other, a flash of recognition flashed before the two of them.

“Wait”, Romeo said, staring at the opponent in front of him. “You’re the girl that kicked my kneecap in!”

And it seemed like she remembered it as well, trying to make a kick for his knee once again. However this time Romeo was ready, dodging her before swinging his odachi at her. She duck, trying to kick his legs under him as she did so, making Romeo jump. But whoever this girl was, she was good. Soon she has Romeo on the ground with all the air knocked out of him. This was the call for Marcello to get back on his feet.

“No one kicks my brother’s knee cap except me!”, Marcello yelled, charging the girl. She turned, just in time to see him run for her, pushing her over, so that they were wrestling each other in the dust on the ground. “Don’t you ever get tired?!” The girl only grunted at this, trying to punch him in the face. Marcello grabbed her hand, pinning it to the ground, yet somehow she managed to roll him over.

“You’re more annoying than your brother”, she said through her mask.

“If you think I’m annoying, you should hear him during training”, Marcello said, and he swore he could hear her chuckle.

Her hand flew to her belt, ready to pull out a weapon, when the sudden sound of sirens pierced through the air. She froze, her bright eyes widening, before shooting a look at Romeo, who sat smiling wickedly at her, his fingers on his wrist radio. He had called for backup.

“Retreat!”, she yelled, hurrying off of Marcello. “Retreat!”

And just like the attackers had done last time Romeo had had a run in with them, they followed her order, before making a run for it.

“Hey! Don’t be cowards!”, Gali yelled running after them as the backup arrived. “Come back here!”

—

Police chief Vincent was not happy once she learned that Marcello had disobeyed orders, and just made a run for the suspects. Especially when Romeo’s call for backup made their fathers leave their post to come and help. All the way back to the station, Marcello was chewed out, his boss reminding him how bad this looked on his first unsupervised patrol.

At the station Marcello kept his mouth shut, only listening and watching as the others told Vincent, Casey and the turtles about what had happened. The many hours of nothing, followed by the sudden appearance of a suspicious individual. He chewed the inside of his cheek as he listened to his older brother explain what happened, especially the part about her. Confusion rose inside of him when he felt a strange tingle inside of him, when Romeo mentioned the girl. For a moment he almost wished he wouldn’t have mentioned her. But he did. And he continued to do so. Romeo kept talking about the girl while at the station. He was clearly agitated to have seen her again after three years. Even Leo had to remind his son to take a deep breath.

—

Back in the lair, Marcello wasn’t much for telling his mother or aunts about what had happened, but the others surely were, telling them all about how they had seen her again. The girl that dislocated Romeo’s kneecap. It was the talk of the lair that night. But Marcello did not wish to take part of it, heading straight to his bedroom. Here he stayed for some time, staring at the ceiling, thinking about what had happened. Only for his thoughts to get interrupted by the knocks of his brother, asking if he could come in.

“Are you okay, bro?”, Romeo asked as he entered the room.

“I’m fine”, Marcello answered, rubbing his face. “You?”

“As good as can be”, he said, taking a seat on the side of Marcello’s bed. “You’ve been silent ever since she got away. Did she hurt you?”

“No”, Marcello shook his head. “Just tired”.

“I get that. She’s tiring”, Romeo said, making Marcello feel just a little heavier inside. “I don’t like her, one bit. One day I’ll catch her, and I will make her pay for what she did. Trust me on that. I don’t know who she is, and I don’t know what her motivation is, but one day I will figure it out, and from that point she will have to count her days”.

Marcello stared at his brother, shocked at his words. Never had he heard Romeo speak in such a way about anybody. His normally calm brother who spoke so much about control, meditation and mindfulness as if he was their father’s personal recorder, now sat on his bed, letting out his anger about a person he had only met twice. Marcello did not like it. But that wasn’t the only thing he did not like. What he wouldn't do to kill that little butterfly flapping around in his stomach whenever he thought about that girl's eyes.
