ELVIA ALLMAN
September 19, 1904
Tumblr media
Elvia Beatrice Allman was born on September 19, 1904 in Enochville, North Carolina. She started her performing career on radio in the 1920s, as both a storyteller and singer. This led to work voicing cartoon characters for Warner Brothers. Simultaneously, she was pursuing stage acting, appearing at the Pasadena Playhouse. 
Allman made her film debut as an actress in 1940's The Road to Singapore as a homely woman who pursues Bob Hope.
Tumblr media
On radio, she worked with Lucille Ball on “My Favorite Husband”. 
Her first TV credit came in August 1951, in an episode of “Hollywood Theatre Time” written by “I Love Lucy” scribes Bob Carroll and Madelyn Pugh Davis. This undoubtedly led to her first encounter with Lucille Ball.
Tumblr media
Allman’s first episode of “I Love Lucy” is also one of the most memorable in TV history: “Job Switching” (ILL S2;E1) in September 1952.  She played the strident foreman of Kramer’s Candy Kitchen.   
Tumblr media
This portrayal has been seen numerous times across various media, and often imitated, but perhaps none more brilliantly than on “Will & Grace” where Lucie Arnaz played the role originated by Allman. 
“I’m thrilled to be invited to the party and will do my best to honor the memory of Elvia Allman’s iconic performance.” ~ Lucie Arnaz
Tumblr media
NEIGHBOR: “Do you wanna see Minnie or don’t ya?”
Allman returned to the show as one of Minnie Finch’s neighbors in “Fan Magazine Interview” (ILL S3;E17) in 1954, quite a change of pace. 
Tumblr media
NANCY GRAHAM: “When did you first meet...himmm?”
Changing gears once again she played prim magazine reporter Nancy Graham in “The Homecoming” (ILL S5;E6) in 1955. The character is probably a tribute to Sheilah Graham, who was an English-born Hollywood journalist. 
Tumblr media
Graham suggests that her article will be titled “NOW I AM HIS SLAVE” by LUCY RICARDO, a title that would raise more than a few eyebrows, even in 1955!  
Tumblr media
She made two appearances on “The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour“ - first as Ida Thompson, Westfield’s PTA director who is enamored of Tallulah Bankhead in “The Celebrity Next Door” (LDCH S1;E2) in December 1957.  The character is likely named in honor of Maury Thompson, who was the show’s long-time camera coordinator.
Tumblr media
She was Milton Berle’s over-protective secretary when “Milton Berle Hides Out at the Ricardos” (LDCH S3;E1) in 1959. 
Tumblr media
Allman would also be seen on two episodes of “The Lucy Show.”  First as a customer shopping for a new hat when Lucy takes a job at Stacey’s Department Store in “Lucy Bags a Bargain” (TLS S4;E17) in 1966. Allman flips her wig when Lucy bungles the sale! 
Tumblr media
Her second, and final Lucycom appearance, was in “Lucy The Babysitter” (TLS S5;E16) in 1967. Allman finally gets to use her own name to play the manager of an employment agency visited by Mrs. Carmichael. Coincidentally, the name of the business is the Unique Employment Agency, which will also be  the name of the Employment Agency on “Here’s Lucy.”  This pretty much brings things full circle for Allman, whose first episode of “I Love Lucy” featured the Acme Employment Agency, the agency that places Lucy and Ethel at Kramer’s Candy Kitchen! 
Tumblr media
Allman’s final screen appearance with Lucille Ball reunited her with Bob Hope: “Bringing Back Vaudeville” on November 16, 1971 on NBC. 
Tumblr media
Back in 1952, the same year Allman did her first “I Love Lucy” episode, she was a recurring character on NBC’s answer to “Lucy”, “I Married Joan” which - like “Lucy” - also filmed at General Service Studios.  Consequently, the two shows shared many performers. Allman played Aunt Vera for six episodes during season one. 
Tumblr media
In May 1953, Allman did a single episode of “Our Miss Brooks,” filmed by Desilu. She appeared opposite Eve Arden, Gale Gordon, Richard Crenna, and Gloria McMillan, all of who appeared on “I Love Lucy.” 
Tumblr media
In October 1954, she played a maid on the Desilu filmed “Make Room for Daddy”.  In 1958, to symbolize the show’s move to CBS, the Williams family moved into the Ricardo home in Westport. In return, Lucy and Desi guest-starred on “The Danny Thomas Show” as the Ricardos.
Tumblr media
Also in 1954, Allman started appearing on Desilu’s “December Bride,” doing six episodes until 1959, mostly playing Sara Selkirk.  In 1957, Executive Producer Desi Arnaz appeared as himself. In 1960 she was featured on the very first episode of the sequel series, “Pete and Gladys” and did another episode in 1962. 
Tumblr media
In October 1958, she did a day on Desilu’s “The Ann Sothern Show.” In November 1959,Lucille Ball played Lucy Ricardo on the series’ season two premiere.  
Tumblr media
In January 1961, Allman played Henrietta Swanson on “The Andy Griffith Show” filmed on the Desilu backlot. 
Tumblr media
A few months later, she did a day on “The Real McCoys”, also filmed on the Desilu backlot.
Tumblr media
In June 1964, Allman did an installment of “Vacation Playhouse” - a Desilu anthology series of possible pilots.  
Tumblr media
In 1963 and 1965, Allman did episodes of “The Dick Van Dyke Show” filmed at Desilu Studios. The second featured Amzie Strickland, who also appeared with her in “Lucy Bags a Bargain” (TLS S4;E17). 
Tumblr media
Allman has the distinction of appearing in all three of CBS’s inter-connected rural sitcoms (albeit as different characters): “The Beverly Hillbillies” (as Elverna Bradshaw); “Petticoat Junction” (as Selma Plout); and “Green Acres” (as Cora Watson). 
Her final screen appearance was on a 1989 episode of “Murder She Wrote” starring Angela Lansbury. 
Her first husband, Wesley B. Tourtellotte, was a musician whom she married in 1930. The marriage was short-lived and produced one child. Her second was Charles Pyle, who was often called Cash and Carry Pyle, an Illinois theater owner and sports agent. They married in 1937 but he died of a heart attack two years later. Her third and last marriage, to Jerome Bayler, lasted 33 years until his death in 1978.
Tumblr media
Allman died on March 6, 1992, aged 87.

JAY NOVELLO
August 22, 1904
Tumblr media
Jay Novello was born Michael Romano in Chicago to Italaian-American parents. Novello began his 47-year acting career in the 1930s, performing on radio. Novello was limited mostly to bits in minor films, one of his notable being the officious Spanish consul in Frank Capra's Pocketful of Miracles (1961). Novello's first role as a guest star on television was on CBS's “The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show” in 1951. Dapper Novello is probably best remembered for playing Mayor Lugatto on “McHale’s Navy” in 1965.
Tumblr media
He played a recurring role as Mr. Negley, the mailman, on Lucille Ball’s radio show “My Favorite Husband”.  He also played Mr. Curry in “Numerology,” (May 1950), which was later made into “The Seance” where Curry was renamed Mr. Merriweather. The first version of “Numerology” (also starring Novello) aired in 1948 when the characters were named the Cugats. 
Tumblr media
Speaking of which, Novello first appeared on “I Love Lucy” in 1951 as superstitious theatrical agent Mr. Merriweather in “The Seance" (ILL S1;E7), 
Tumblr media
Nervous new tenant Mr. Beecher in 1954′s “The Sublease” (ILL S3;E31)

Tumblr media
Restaurateur Tony DiBello on “Lucy Meets a Millionaire” (TLS S2;E24) in 1964.
DESILU NOVELLO
Tumblr media
In 1955 and 1958, Jay Novello did two episodes of “The Danny Thomas Show” filmed at Desilu Studios.  
Tumblr media
In 1962 and 1964, Novello made two appearances on “The Andy Griffith Show,” filmed on the Desilu backlot. 
Tumblr media
In 1966, Novello appeared in an Italian-themed episode of “My Three Sons,” also filmed on the Desilu lot. 
Tumblr media
The following year, Novello worked for Desi Arnaz on his series “The Mothers- In-Law” playing a drunk in jail. The show was written by original Lucy writers Bob Carroll and Madelyn Davis. 
Tumblr media
In 1967 and 1969, Novello turned up on “Gomer Pyle: USMC” filmed at Desilu / Paramount.  In 1966, Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors) made a cameo appearance on “The Lucy Show.” 
Tumblr media
In 1973, Novello did an episode of “The Brady Bunch” in which he played a bike shop owner named Mr. Martinelli who Peter goes to work for. Coincidentally, Martinelli was also the name of the pizzeria owner (played by Eduardo Ciannelli) in “Visitor from Italy” (ILL S6;E5). Lucille Ball’s son Desi Arnaz played himself on “The Brady Bunch” in February 1970. 
Tumblr media
In 1968 and 1975, Novello did three episodes of Desilu’s “Mannix”, a CBS show saved from cancellation by Lucille Ball. In 1971, Mike Connors (who played the title role) played Joe Mannix on an episode of “Here’s Lucy.” 
Tumblr media
Novello's first marriage, to Rose Motto, ended in divorce. In 1961, he married Patricia C. (nicknamed ‘Lucy’!) Lewis and they remained together until his death from lung cancer in 1982, aged 78.

LUCY MAKES A HIT WITH JOHN RITTER
S1;E2 ~ September 27, 1986
Tumblr media
[Photo © Getty Images]
Tumblr media
Directed by Peter Baldwin ~ Written by Bob Carroll Jr. and Madelyn Davis
Synopsis
John Ritter wanders into the Hardware Store to buy doorknobs and ends up with multiple injuries, thanks to a star-struck Lucy. She brings the star home to rest and then escorts him to a rehearsal for his new play. When Ritter’s co-star suddenly quits, Lucy naturally wants to get into the act.
Regular Cast
Lucille Ball (Lucy Barker), Gale Gordon (Curtis McGibbon), Ann Dusenberry (Margo Barker McGibbon), Larry Anderson (Ted McGibbon), Jenny Lewis (Becky McGibbon), Philip Amelio (Kevin McGibbon), Donovan Scott (Leonard Stoner)
[For biographies of the Regular Cast, see “One Good Grandparent Deserves Another” (S1;E1)]
Guest Cast
Tumblr media
John Ritter (Himself) was the son of country singing sensation Tex Ritter. He is best known for playing Jack Tripper on the ABC sitcom “Three's Company” which finished its run two years before his appearance on “Life With Lucy” but was widely syndicated. The role earned him an Emmy and a Golden Globe. He also starred in the ABC cop series “Hooperman” from 1987 to 1989. Ritter was also active in theatre and films. He died suddenly in 2003 at the age of 54. 
Tumblr media
Ruth Buzzi (Mrs. Wilcox) is probably best known for her many characters on “Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In” which was competition for “Here's Lucy” for several seasons.  This did not stop Lucille Ball from creating a guest-starring role for her in “My Fair Buzzi” (HL S5;E13) in 1972. She was nominated for five Emmy Awards and won a Golden Globe in 1973.
Greg Mullavey (Randy Van Adams) is probably best remembered for playing hapless husband Tom on “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” (1976-77). He made his screen debut in 1964 in the Desilu series “Gomer Pyle: USMC.”
Randy Van Adams is the director of “The Soldier's Song.”
Sally Kemp (Mary) had played Marcia on “Dynasty” from 1982 to 1984. In October 1981 she appeared on an episode of “Three's Company” with John Ritter. She died in 2017 at age 84.  
Mary plays the Nurse in “The Soldier's Song.”
Tumblr media
Lucy Barker: “It's kind of an ugly little story.”
Tumblr media
The final draft of the script for this episode was dated August 13, 1986.
This was the fourth episode filmed, but it was decided to air it second in the belief that John Ritter's appearance would help fight a ratings slump after the premiere. It did not work. The show earned a 10.1 share, down from 14.6 the week before. “Life With Lucy” also failed to beat “Downtown” on CBS which earned an 11.9 share, and a two-part “The Facts of Life” on NBC, which won the time slot with 15.6. This was likely due to the fact that it was the first episode for Cloris Leachman, who replaced Charlotte Rae (Mrs. Garrett) as when she quit the hit show. Although not competition for “Life With  Lucy,” the evening of September 27th also saw the debut of NBC's new sitcom “Amen” starring Sherman Hemsley.
Tumblr media
John Ritter: (to Lucy) “I just don't think you have enough experience.”
Tumblr media
Of all the current [1986] comedic performers, perhaps Lucille Ball's favorite was John Ritter. Ritter died in 2003 of the same heart ailment (an aortic dissection), the same malady that took the life of his father, Tex Ritter, and Lucille Ball in 1989.
Tumblr media
Lucille Ball was such a fan of John Ritter that she agreed to host a clips show retrospective called “Best of Three's Company” which aired on May 18, 1982. 
John Ritter: “What difference does age make?”
Tumblr media
This episode combines Lucy's love of physical comedy with her usual tropes of causing mayhem and wanting to get into show business.
During the filming of the scene where Lucy force-feeds Ritter a concoction of tofu, wheat germ, and sauerkraut juice (aka “health in a bowl”) Ritter ad-libbed "This is real sauerkraut juice!" His pained expression breaks Ball up, and the scene had to be re-shot. Lucille Ball later said that this was only the third time in her entire career that she had to yell cut because she was laughing. She called Ritter's propensity to make her crack-up 'Ritter-itis'!  
Tumblr media
In the book With Love and Laughter, John Ritter author Amy Yasbeck recalls that Ritter called his black knee socks ‘Mr. Mooneys’ because he once saw Gale Gordon's character on “The Lucy Show” wearing them.  
Lucy: (to John Ritter) “I'm Lucy....er... Barker.   almost forgot my own name!”
Lucy Barker is a big fan of John Ritter. To demonstrate her devotion, she says the names of his wife (Nancy) and his children (Jason, Tyler and Carly). She didn't, however, know that his dog's name is Mikey. Actress Nancy Morgan and Ritter were married from 1977 to 1996. At the time of filming Jason was 6, Carly was 4, and Tyler was a year and a half. In 1999, Ritter married actress Amy Yazbeck with whom he had a fourth child Stella, who is now living life as a trans man named Noah.
Tumblr media
Mrs. Wilcox (Ruth Buzzi) says she has tickets to John Ritter's play “A Soldier's Song” at the Pasadena Playhouse where he was an alumnus from 1969. Like his mother, Dorothy, Ritter trained at the famed Pasadena Playhouse. Ruth Buzzi was also an alumnus of the Playhouse, a real life venue. 
Tumblr media
Ritter says “A Solider's Song” was first produced at the Playhouse in 1926. The play is set during World War I with Ritter playing the title character, a wounded doughboy. A sign mounted on the wall of the set for “A Soldier's Song” sets the action at an American Red Cross Base Hospital in Contrexéville, France. Unfortunately, “Life With Lucy” sign makers misspelled the name of the town as 'Contrexville.' Contrexéville was known as a health resort from as far back as 1864.
Tumblr media
Ritter says that his wife is Hawaii with the kids. Hawaii is a popular destination with Lucille Ball and her sitcom characters. Curtis returned from a vacation in Hawaii in the previously aired episode.
Randy: “Look at John. He's a big star and he never knows what he's doing.”
Sitting onstage at the Pasadena Playhouse, Lucy tells the director (Greg Mullavey) that she was in her high school play “The Girl Next Door” where she didn't play the girl next door, but played the girl next door to the girl next door.
Tumblr media
As the doughboy in “A Soldier's Song” John Ritter plays “Oh! Susanna” on the harmonica. One of the most familiar songs in America, it was written by Stephen Foster in 1848.
Tumblr media
When Mary (the Nurse) quits the play, Randy says that Joan Collins will do the part as a favor to John. Lucy, however, wants to play the part herself. Collins was the star of the tremendously popular nighttime soap “Dynasty” (also on ABC) from 1981 to 1989. In 1984, she hosted “All Star Party for Lucille Ball” (above). Coincidentally, Sally Kemp (Mary, the actress that quit), played Marcia, Blake Carrington’s secretary on “Dynasty” for several years. 
John Ritter: “It's an ugly little story.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In “Lucy Goes to the Rodeo” (ILL S5;E8) Ricky Ricardo is listing possible acts for his western act at Madison Square Garden and mentions Tex Ritter, who is John Ritter's father. The episode aired in November 1955 when John Ritter was just seven years old.
Tumblr media
