  "Did they frisk you? I asked for them to frisk me," Lucy. That was quick and sharp. Lucy was no B.S. which I respect.

  Meanwhile, the Reagan's said NOTHING about HIV/AIDS, until their friend Rock Hudson died in late 1985.

  I don't think ppl realized then how impactful this was back then, first woman to host a late night talk show on a major network and all female guest list.

  If I had a choice between meeting Lucille Ball or Nancy Reagan, hands-down, it would be Lucille Ball…

  I played in a band that played for Mrs. Reagan in DC for a Just Say No Fundraiser. It was truly an honor to do so.

  Lucy took the bad reviews and the cancellation of Life With Lucy hard.  She felt like the public didn't want her anymore.  Three years later, when she was in the hospital, right before she passed away, she got so many letters and gifts from the public telling her to get well soon and wishing her a speedy recovery and sending her so much love.  She must have known because she was doing well in the hospital at first so I'm sure she knew that the public still loved her.

  Joan once told the story of how Nancy Reagan got her husband&apos;s body released:<br><br>“I said, ‘I can’t get Edgar’s body out of Philadelphia.’ She [Nancy] said, ‘Let me see what I can do.’<br><br>“The next day, his body came back to L.A. You don’t ever forget that, especially when the chips are down. She’s older now. I’m going to California next week, and I’ll see her.”

  Watching this in 2021 makes me long for the good old days when everyone had their own unique personality, funny but classy.

  Nancy Reagan was so naturally relaxed I felt when she was being interviewed by Joan, she seems as if she was talking to a friend .I hadnt ever seen Nancy or heard her voice , she seemed like real nice lady .

  Wow, you can hear all those years of smoking cigarettes in Lucy&apos;s voice. Talk about something to &quot;just say no&quot; to.
