When I was a young lad growing up in Rocky Mount, North Carolina one of my favorite television situation comedy shows was “I Love Lucy”.  Well I truly loved Lucy and all of her cast members. There was Ricky (Desi Arnaz) Lucy’s real life husband), Lucy (Lucille Ball), Ethel (Vivian Vance) and Fred (William Frawley). What happened to these people? Where are they now? Ricky died from lung cancer at the age of 69, on December 2, 1986. He was diagnosed in early 1986. Lucy died from a dissecting aortic aneurysm at the age of 77 on April 26, 1989. She and Ricky had two children. Fred died from a heart attack while walking down Hollywood Boulevard after seeing a movie at the age of 79 on March 3, 1966. He had no children. Ethel suffered from breast cancer in 1973 and suffered a stroke in 1977 which left her partially paralyzed. She died at the age of 70 on August 17, 1979. She had no children. Remember Mr. Mooney, the tightfisted bank executive played by Gale Gordon in the later Lucy shows well he died from lung cancer at the age of 89 on June 30, 1995. He had no children. The black and white series originally ran from October 15, 1951 to April 1, 1960 on CBS. In four of its six seasons the I Love Lucy show was the most watched show in the United States, and was the first to end its run at the top of the ratings. I Love Lucy is still syndicated in multiple languages across the world. The show was set in New York City and centered on Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball), and her Cuban singer/bandleader husband Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz), along with their landlords and friends Fred Mertz (William Frawley) and Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance). In season two Lucy and Ricky have a son named Little Ricky and he grows up on the show. I Loved Lucy!
