TV Radio Mirror (Jan - Jun 1963)

by pre-arrangement with Paula. Gary Morton, aged forty-four. Also divorced. About five minutes after their introduction, Lucille heard herself laughing as she hadn't laughed in a couple of years. A little later, she heard Gary saying, "It's ages since I've laughed as much as I have this evening." Presently, Paula and her husband were saying they really must go home, but Gary was suggesting didn't Miss Ball want to stay on and have another drink? It was then Lucy noticed that Mr. Morton had had only one drink. They had another one together, then he took her home and asked if he might call her. He did call her the next morning. The next afternoon, too. And she did join him for supper after the show that evening. And the next, and the one after that, and the one after that one, too.

She had her children. She had her mother. She had all the money she could ever want, and Gary was offering her love, and she was a very feminine woman who loved love ... so on the nineteenth of November, she and Gary were married. Lucy was very happy. She was going to have a beautiful, quiet life. Gary could work in night clubs whenever he wished, but he wasn't crazily ambitious. He worked to earn enough to live on graciously. He liked a gracious leisure, too. So did Lucy. Desi had been the crazily ambitious one. Only. Only, early in 1962, discussions began about Lucille doing a new TV show.
