Elizabeth Patterson was the second oldest credited actress to appear on I Love Lucy. She was born 11/22/1874. The oldest was Dorothea Wolbert born several months earlier seen in the Lottery episode in 1955 at age 80. However Elizabeth then became the oldest in her appearance in The Bon Voyage episode in 1956 at the age of 81.
I always HATE when people compare the "Old Classic Sitcoms" to the newer ones like Seinfeld and Friends which were good, but couldn't hold a candle to such shows as I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners.
I will always Love....I love lucy, it is and always will be a classic that is simply the best..that being said shows like seinfeld and friends are amazing too, remember the 90's were very different times to the 1950's, everything was tabou then, you couldnt even say the word pregnant but you could say having a baby and you couldnt show a married couple in the same bed back then either lol...They were more innocent sweeter times .
@ linda ackerman I understand your comment about the difference in the times. And I do watch Seinfeld and Friends and think they're funny. But in comparison to shows like The Honeymooners and I LOVE LUCY, I just feel that they fall short on humor and context, especially because of the "tabu" stuff that the older sitcoms had to steer clear of and they still managed to be as funny as they were. But it's Ok to agree to disagree on things like this 😉 Enjoy your weekend!
@@roberttelarket4934 your right. There was also the grouchy new neighbor, Mr Stewart that complains about Fred the dog. Also the sweet old lady played by Bea Benaderra...forgot her character's name. And the Texan Oil Tycoon and his wife.
The writers did a pretty clever thing by creating a "permanent babysitter" in the character of Mrs Trumbull, just as they did having Lucy's mother happen to come along to Hollywood! It kept the storyline flow pretty seamlessly! She was also adorable to watch with her older generation cornyness!!
Elizabeth worked with all the great actors; Clark Gable, Carol Lombard, Jean Harlow, Robert Montgomery in many wonderful movies; enjoy always seeing her.
Some more who come to mind: Barbara Stanwyck, Fred McMurray, Norma Shearer, Robert Taylor, George Saunders, and probably about a jillion more...........a wonderful career!!!!!
Notice also Irving Bacon the husband with Elizabeth in the Marriage Certificate episode was also Ethel's father(Mr. Potter) in the Albuquerque episode Ethel's Hometown. (ETHEL MAY POTTER WE'VE GOT HER). They've even named an ice cream sunday after her. Very appropriate as I love to see her eat. Baskin Robbins should name a flavor Ethel after her.
@@julier.1902: Yes it's nice and I have seen every episode at least 350 times since as a young teen in 1964! However I don't understand the increase in height to this day although that's unimportant! Moreover Ethel here is at her best showing her great singing talent: mama's little baby, my hero from the chocolate soldier(she was an excellent operatic singer!).
@@roberttelarket4934 The joke wasn't that the tree grew fast. The joke was that Ethel's singing was so boring that you felt like it went on and on for so long that the tree grew from a small tree to a full adult tree while you were stuck there listening to her sing.
4:19 That's character actor, Herb Vigran, playing Mrs. Trumble's nephew. Vigran popped up on four episodes of I Love Lucy in different roles and is perhaps best remembered for portraying various gangsters on The Adventures of Superman.
AntonDubious Did you know that Herb Vigran’s 2 grandchildren Peter Dunn and Albert Wood are the inventors of viagra, a life saving drug for men, and named for Herb Vigran who was their inspiration?
Thank you Rick for your love and dedication to research and share your knowledge. Loved looking at the old photos. The old sitcoms were pure and safe for children. There wasn’t vulgarity, profanity, sexual deviants, and violence that has permeated the screen today. I love watching the old reruns. Thanks again.
Very good video and excellent topic. Incidentally, there is an indirect reference to Mrs. Trumble during the Lucy Desi Comedy Hour. Specifically, Ethel mentions that Mrs. Trumble's sister moved into the apartment building and volunteered to manage it when the Mertz's move to the country with the Ricardos.
As always - you hit another home run with your video! I always learn so much. Blessings to you Rick and may our Lord keep you each moment safe in His arms.
Congratulations, RICK !! 60K Subscribers- Onward to 100K !!! Mrs.Trumble's name was mentioned quite a lot during the series before they went to Connecticut
Another great vid, Rick! Going strictly by memory, isn't Patterson's character name in "The Marriage License" ep, Mrs. Willoughby? I think it's Ricky, who characteristically mangles it a bit to "Mrs. Willoughwy." I seem to remember that, 'cause I always loved how Desi/Ricky had trouble, sometimes with names and words. BTW, I used to use Ricky's "through, threw, thruff, throw (as in cow)" routine (from whichever ep I can't remember) when I taught kiddos (you may have, too!). I'm wondering if there's something you can do with that routine, in the way of little-known info, etc, and if nothing else, highlight that scene's useful benefit for English teachers!!
bradness Remember the episode where Ricky is on the phone calling information trying to get the number for a "Ruth Knickerbocker?" And he has to spell her last name? He goes "N-I-C-K" , (then there's a slight pause while he listens to the operator and continues) really? With a K? Whatta ya know!" I Love that stuff. And when he would tell Lucy "Dunt make fun of my English." And she'd say, "That's English?"
@@GoBig-jc3ir Oh yeah, all that's really funny stuff!! Thin line they toed back then, making sure the humor was gentle enough so people wouldn't think Lucy, et al were being cruel to Ricky, or being mean. It helped, of course, that we knew they were really married, and sombreros off to Desi for being brave enough to allow his accent to be poked at for the added hilarity to the show!!
Also in this video the you showed a scene from “Never do business with friends” it reminds me of a past video of yours about the extra door in the kitchen. It looks like it be connected to Ethel’s kitchen. How Lucy and Ethel have a shard balcony the two kitchens connect. Just. Thought. I dunno. Thanks for another great upload. Being HOPEFUL in 2020
i’m so happy that there is other people out there that love older tv shows as mush as i do my tv at home is always on metv because they play all the old shows keep up on the good Content love the channel
Fun fact too - The actor who played Joe also played the ornery shop owner in famous Brady Bunch episode with the checker trading stamps / house of cards building.
I never realized what her first name was on the show or that the actress played another character before Mrs. Trumble. Thank you for the video Rick, I always learn something new with your videos.
I always loved her. There is one episode where where I think she actually laughed and broke character. It was at the very end of an episode. It may have been the first time she babysits for Little Ricky but I’m not sure.
@@lazyhomebody1356: Excellent! Very very very clever! Didn't think of that! Should have. Welcome to Mensa! Wouldn't it be wonderful if the two us could go back in time and script some new I Love Lucy episodes and even be some characters!!!
I am guilty of being of a watcher and not subscribed now I know better I know so I do better. Thanks for us know how we can support classic tv and appreciate true talent.
Loved mrs Trumble! I did not remember her name being Matilda but then again I never questioned it lol. You should do a video on Charles lane. He was a favorite of Lucy’s because she loved his dry humor .. I loved him too. Anyway, love learning these things in your videos!
I have watched so many of your wonderful videos, I feel like I almost know you personally. You are my favourite youtuber. Thank you for all that valuable information.
I have always loved Mrs. Trumble. She reminds me of my Grandma Elma Norton. The algorithm! Ugh!

When you said she had a secret I thought you meant she was an agent for the KGB. LOL! Like always good interesting video. Thanks for posting it Have a great day every
Oh wow, I never realized that was the same actress in the marriage license episode. She must be a really good actress! Heh. it's funny how sometimes just a change of clothes and a slight change in attitude can trick your mind when you're really absorbed in a story.
Her name in the episode "The Marriage Licence" was Mrs. Willoughby not Willoughwy. Ricky's accent turned the "bee" sound into a "wee" sound when he would pronounce her name.
Congratulations to Dean Ritter, any relation to Mr Ritter, the grocery man that Miss Lewis was chasing? Rick thanks for the informative video on Matilda Trumbull!! I know you tube has become more challenging but I for one appreciate all your hard work & positive messages. ☺
No she was not. You may be thinking of Lili Darvas with Billy Mumy in the Long Distance Phone Call episode or the Gladys Cooper episode with Robert Redford.
I'll be darned! I remembered the name Matilda! I am such a diehard ILL fan that it's fitting that I recently received genealogical notice that I am 7th cousins once removed to Lucille Ball. 🙂
Was I.L.L. the first example of the "We're not really married; we have to redo it" trope on TV? It sort of became a standard sitcom episode, along with "stuck in the elevator".
I love your videos and I didn’t know Mrs Trumbull’s first name was Matilda! I did however recognize Elizabeth Peterson from one of my all-time novel’s made into the movie Little Women (The later version in 1949) she portrayed Hannah. Ms. Patterson was also in “So Big” 1932 with Barbara Stanwyck. “Dinner at Eight” with John and Lionel Barrymore Wallace Beery, Jean Harlow and one of my all-time favorite actress’s Maria Dressler! Elizabeth Patterson was born in the South in 1874, she was never married and lived in the same Hollywood hotel “The Roosevelt” for over 35 years. I love that you pick other characters besides the main four and tell stories about them. I love old movies anything before 1963 and I’m crazy about Comedy sitcom‘s like I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners and The Andy Griffith Show. Rick you’re a very interesting young man and make wonderful videos. Thank You. ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Does anyone know why when the Mertz move to the country Mrs. Trumbles sister is going to manage the building instead of Mrs. Trumble? I never understood why.
A V Mrs. Trumble’s sister was very sneaky. She knew how cheap Fred was so she went directly to him behind her sister’s back. She told him Mrs. Trumble would be asking for a lot of money to manage the building and she would do it for half so she got the job. The truth was that Mrs. Trumble would have done it for free. Another little known fact is that the Tribbles in Star Trek were named after Mrs. Trumble. Also, ....
I knew it was Matilda. And I knew he played Ethel's dad. Did you also know the man who played the locksmith (when they were handcuffed together) also played the sheriff when they were in Tennessee?
Hi Rick, Just to let you know I received the I Love Lucy DVD Today. Thank You Very Much
It is my pleasure to have you received the DVD and to have your support for my channel! Thank you again Dean for being awesome and enjoy the DVD!
Congratulations 👏🏼🎉
" Be hopeful "
What a simply fabulous, and timeless message.
I loved her. She had a birthday party for lucy when she thought ricky wasn't. She took the show to a higher level by having fun.
My favorite Mrs. Trumble scene was when she was mad at Ricky and the only insult she could say was “you man, you” I never forgot it. It still makes me laugh 😂
Blackwood 5225 That is what I call my husband or any man who makes me angry! You man, you!
I love the ending of "No Children Allowed". Sometimes your biggest enemy becomes your biggest friend.

She was born in 1874. I would love to be able to talk to her.
Matilda Trumble. She was a good supporting character.

They were the best!
Seinfeld was number one for nine years. But you already know this don't you? Comparing Seinfeld to The Honeymooners? Seinfeld no contest.
Lucy is like Seinfeld, I can watch an episode a hundred times, and I'll still watch it again.
Me too...I know each and every next word, and yet I laugh as if it was the first time I ever heard it 🤣🤣🤣
Me too. I highly recommend a visit to Jamestown NY! I learned something new (Mrs. Trumbell's first name. Rick, love your channel!)
I’ve always loved Mrs.Trumbull. She was great in all the episodes! Thanks for sharing!
Mrs. Trumbull was great addition and reminded us that Fred and Ethel's Apartment house had other tennant's besides Lucy and Ricky.
Randy Tomkins: There was also Mrs. Benson the fabulous Norma Varden(Switching Apartments) and Grace Foster(Gloria Blondell) in The Pearls episode.
@@roberttelarket4934 your right. There was also the grouchy new neighbor, Mr Stewart that complains about Fred the dog. Also the sweet old lady played by Bea Benaderra...forgot her character's name.
And the Texan Oil Tycoon and his wife.
Gloria Blondell, sister of real life Lucy-pal Joan Blondell, fyi...

And don't forget Mae West! Elizabeth appeared in "Go West Young Man" with Mae and Randolph Scott in 1936. Fun!
From the included pictures she looks like she would have been an absolutely devoted grandmother in real life.
I love this channel ❤️💗. Another great episode, always very informative.
I'm officially adopting her as my great-great Aunt Matilda!
I love her character Ms Trumbull!

She was amazing woman and also she was great
Her name in the episode "The Marriage Licence" was Mrs. Willoughby not Willoughwy. Ricky's accent turned the "bee" sound into a "wee" sound when he would pronounce her name.
I believe that the Justice of the Peace in The Marriage License episode is none other then well known comedian Ed Wynn.
