A diehard fan
True sports fans often demonstrate their unwavering loyalty to their favorite team in remarkable ways. One notable example is William Frawley, a devoted baseball enthusiast known for his unwavering support of the New York Yankees. Frawley’s dedication to the team was so profound that he negotiated a clause into his contract allowing him to skip certain filming sessions in order to cheer on the Yankees.
This unique provision was invoked twice during the sitcom’s run when Frawley opted to prioritize his team support over appearing in episodes.
Breaking barriers
In 1950, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz started a small production company called Desilu Productions. Their first big success was the iconic TV show I Love Lucy. As the show gained popularity, the studio grew and became a major player in Hollywood. This made Lucille Ball the first woman to head a major studio.
With her incredible talent as an actress and her business skills, she became one of the most influential women in Hollywood, breaking down barriers for female entertainers along the way.
