Lucille Ball spent a great deal of time in Vegas. I remember her during the times with Desi Arnez and later with Morton. In the early days, she came here with Arnez a lot. He played golf a lot at the DI, which is where they would stay. He drank almost all the time, whether with Lucille or not. When she wasn’t around he was always with the broads.

Dean played golf at the DI a lot. That is where he and I played most of the time. Lucille would ride around in the cart with him. They seemed to really like each other. Although they would get into fights sometimes. Lucille could be very “bossy” and she would try telling Dean to do something. You can imagine what he would do with that.

I told this to Frank one day and he joked about it. I asked him if Lucille Ball was a good actress and he gave me one of the weird answers like he he did sometimes. “Yeah, she’s funny, she owns the whole fucking studio.”
