- Lucie Arnaz's screen test for "Yours, Mine & Ours". Lucy wanted her real-life children, Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. to play her on-screen children. Both Lucie and Desi made a screen test.
The screen test was recorded three times, from three different camera angles. The three lots of footage have been edited together to create a final product.
It's so wonderful to see Lucy's red hair in color. I always thought she looked better with it down and loose like this. Amazing to see Lucie so young, too. Very special to see mother and daughter together like this.
Lucille was the best! She was so awesome and beautiful! I'm 60 and still watching her shows!
I'm glad the scene was not in the movie this exact way and I'm glad there was a different Colleen and that Lucille seemed to become more comfortable as they started shooting the film. It's one of my favorite films.
I was pretty certain that this scene was NOT in the movie. I'm glad the kids were not in the movie.
What a treasure. I didn’t know she tried out for the part or that this existed.
Wow. What a great scene with two great talents!❤️
I dunno, no one would ever believe they were mother and daughter.
Lucie was believably perfect for the role and I wish she got the part .
Hey... one of us is using the other one's name.
@@paulk9985 LOL
@@paulk9985 True but with different last names
I love this movie , it’s one of the best . The remake doesn’t even compare
There was a remake?
W4RJ I was referring to the one that Dennis McQuade made. I don’t think anyone could top Lucy and Henry. It was the best
yes @Faye Merlo, this one clicked all the right boxes. The magic of Fonda-Lucy, then Van Johnson, Tom Boslry & other terrific character actors sprinkled thruout. Good job from kid actors Morgan Brittany & Tim Matheson - both had the charm on camera right at the beginning of their careers. The remake stunk - was awful.
They didnt give her the part, i think she was just as good as the other girl. It was probably a physical type they wanted.
Lucy was so pretty with her red hair and BLUE eyes. An elegant lady. I wish she hadn't smoked though. It ruined her health
Lucie eventually developed her own comic persona. Watching some of those early Here's Lucys, you'd never guess that she would end up carrying a whole episode practically by herself ("Lucy Fights the System", the last Here's Lucy). Lucy is so wonderful in this scene. I wish she had been a little more like this and a little less manic on Here's Lucy. She rarely wore her hair that way and I don't know why because it's very becoming.
I was never a fan of her clownish hair style on The LUCY SHOW and HERE'S LUCY, I liked her hair when it was looser.
@@rtususian That's not her natural hair. Ball wore many custom wigs (ruclips.net/video/bgNwKx8aRzU/видео.html)
@@hardren101 That is what I thought as well that it was a wig. Her hair was her own on I Love Lucy, but starting in the 1960's, it seems that she switched to wigs.
@@valentinr.dominguez2892 In the early episodes of The Lucy show, she wore her own hair (In the show opening there is a scene where she is shown from the neck up that's her natural hair in that scene). Around the 4th season n from then on, she wore a customer wig (During a Dick Cavett interview, she mentioned her hair began to thin b/c of the chemicals hair n make-up used.
@@valentinr.dominguez2892 I also forgot to mention....There is a guy on here that posts different trivia associated with I Love Lucy. A short while ago he posted a trivia fact regarding the Luci-Desi Comedy hour. One of the things that he mentions is the episode with Fred MacMurry, where lucy is wearing a custom wig in the episode.
Lucy is wearing the same blue pajamas she wore in several episodes of The Lucy Show.
If you notice on her color episodes Lucy and several other cast members and guest stars would wear blue clothing. I think it's because blue photographs well.
this was the movie where a 55 year old lucy gets pregnant ! a miracle !
In those days it WAS a miracle, but nowadays you have woman in their 70's getting pregnant.
@@jameswillett7186 In those days, they were still working on the technology for that process.
It was actually a 57 year old Lucy. The actual Helen North Beardsley had 2 more kids with the real Frank. A total of 20 kids….
The release date was April 1968, Lucy wasn't 57 yet. Depending on when they started filming in 1967, she was either 55 or 56.
But I think she was playing a character that was younger than her actual age.
Desi Arnaz' genes totally took over the kids. They look nothing like Lucille Ball. Desi Arnaz Jrs' granddaughter (Lucy and Desi's great-granddaughter) resembles Lucille Ball.
Lucie has Lucille's build, tall, leggy, slender.
I believe she passed recently.
Not really. Keep in mind, Lucille’s original hair color was mousey brown and she’s slways wearing a lot of makeup. Take all that away, and you’ll see Lucie’s resemblance to her mother. Matter of fact, if you research an old photo of Lucille as a young woman, with her natural hair and without much makeup, you’ll see that Lucie has a lot of her facial features. She really doesn’t have a lot of Desi’s features. Desi jr does for sure.
@@nonenoneonenonenone I agree, mother and daughter have very similar figures.
The warm motherly advice Lucy gave Lucie about love and sex was timeless and priceless
Kudos to Lucy for not demanding her kids to be in the movie...that is more likely to happen these days....
Lucy was the Greatest. RIP
Lucie Arnaz should have done the film.
Lucie wasn't bad; she could deliver a comedic line. It was just a trite script.
no I can't see both of them in this movie
sounded like she was reading.
She got better later in her career though.
Ronda Swindell Yes, she was great on Here's Lucy
I felt like she was great starting out in the older movies. I also think that once this movie really started shooting she did a great job with it.
She talks like that.
Ronda Swindel......
I don’t think Lucie sounds like she reading it...I always loved Lucie In everything she played in
If you watch Lucie's progress on HERE'S LUCY, 1968-74, you can see her gain more confidence and talent as the seasons went by.
Gifted lady, but looks terrified . I don't blame her. Age 17, and your mom is queen of comedy....That is very stressful. Lucie is much better suited to musical theater ---and much, much better when she left her mom's home.
Good Lord, Lucie was so baby-faced here. Of course she was also about sixteen at this point.
At any rate, she seems fine in this test. Playing a confused teen.
Lucille Ball was very annoyed when her daughter and son were not taken by the filmmakers for this film , because she was the one who was producing it, at one point she supposedly said "I owned the studio and now little Lucie has to audition for a role ?"
I think it was after this incident that she made up her mind to produce the Here's Lucy series , because she was determined to launch her children in showbiz , and if others didn't give them roles ,she made sure they would display their talent in her show
Of course things did not work out that way ,Lucie Arnaz ,did not fit the typical American girl with her cpmplexion , and Desi jr was too steeped in drugs to bother about a career
Poor Ms.Arnaz and Mr.Arnaz..I'm sorry that they never to appear with their famous mom in her next to last movie:"Yours,Mine & Ours!".
Doesn't this seem like a comedy-drama version of HERE'S LUCY? Too bad Lucy, Lucie and Desi Jr. didn't do a full length feature film together in a semi-dramatic fashion.
Lucie Arnaz was really pretty back then but no wonder being part latin those types of women are usually babes.
This question seems to bother Lucie Arnaz even now ,in the TMC poscasts she's wondering about the relationship between her mother and Gary Morton.Strange girl
Lucie... is nothing like, LUCY!
Good thing, or else people would say that Lucie was trying to be like her mother.
No, Lucie is her own person.
Of course Lucy & Lucie wanted this role for her, but Lucie could not act. She was embarrassingly awful often on The Lucy Show as a teen. like Lucie a lot, I do but acting was/is not her talent. In all her wonderful interviews, never once heard her state a talent or great love for acting. That gene she did not get. MUSIC from her Dad - there she is TERRIFIC
See, I think this line was better in Colleen’s head than it was saying it to her mother!
This was fun to watch! I wonder what Lucy thought of Luci’s screen test?
Well I am sure she was honest with her.
She overacted for the camera. Live musical theater and clubs better suit her talent.
@@BoomerLoveforGenZ a legend "overacted"
@@adambrickell6425 I was referring to the daughter who is very talented in her own way, not the mother who is indisputably a legend.
Knowing how professional Lucy was and from what people said about her, including her daughter Lucie, she was probably just as honest and strict as she was with everyone else. Probably even more so. However, of course only Lucy and Lucie know the answer to that.
Where are the screen tests of the children who actually made it in the movie?
Outstanding
Lucille Ball is such a good actre
Oh, I wish Lucie would have gotten this part!
I'm not sure why didn't, she was fine to me and there was a chemistry btwn the 2 and this was not Lucie's 1st role as she had guest starred on more than 1 episode of The Lucy show.
It's hard to watch Lucy in anything serious, because any moment I expect her to fall down or get her foot stuck in something or do that crying thing, she is known for. It's just disappointing, when it doesn't happen!
Lucie Arnaz was excellent.
Needless to say she did NOT get the part of Coleen nor did she ever get any good acting jobs besides playing Lucys daughter in her sitcom “Heres Lucy”.
Rarely do the off spring of famous ppl have the talent of their parents with a few exceptions. Liza Minelli the daughter of Judy Garland.
Liza and Lorna inherited Judy's talent.
Just FYI: Lucie was nominated for a Drama Desk Award and won the Theater World Award for Best Acress in a Musical (They're Playing Our Song) and won the coveted Sarah Siddons Award (My One and Only) years after going out on her own to develop her individual talents.
Lucie was fantastic in 1980's The Jazz Singer opposite Neil Diamond.
Lucy looks too old for the part but she looks good. I think her voice is more of a problem she sounds like an older woman that had smoked heavily for years.
At this point, she IS an older woman who has smoked for years! LOL
@@rtususian yes,I meant she sounds like the older smoker she was,not a young woman.
Then why didn't they hire her she would have been better than that Suzanne Caputo AKA Morgan Brittany
Morgan Brittany didn't play Colleen. Jennifer Leak did.
When Morgan Brittany became an adult I thought she was a stunner. I never understood why she didn't become a major star. When she was in an episode of MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, I thought to myself, she's never going to be a really big star if she's doing this!
By the way, I do not think this screen test was good.
Lucie wasnt acting natural thats why she didnt get the part !
Lucie can't act that's why she didn't get the part
Frank isn't some kind of monster...
I guess that's all bologna now
None of her children got the part. They were both terrible actors.
Lucie Arnaz was too ethnic for the role, you can see it
If it hadn't been for her parents she would have gone nowhere in show business. Princess of Nepotism.
Jealous! Lucie became a fine performer and garnered rave reviews in the national tour of Seesaw and the Broadway production of They're Playing Our Song.
The fact that her mother had a major intrest in the production of this movie had no impact on her being cast in the movie, which as you know didn't happen. So much for the Nepotism. However, you need to give Lucie Arnaz some credit. She had to work HARD at becoming her own person, growing up in the shadow of her mother. And it was her choice to go into the business. She was not "pushed" into it. She was fortunate to be in the position she was to have exposure to the business. But she paid her dues. And having heard her in several interviews she comes off as being real.
Well, yes and no. Lucie has been very candid in interviews that she was extremely lucky in having a mother who could put her on her hit TV show, giving her six year of "on-the-job training"; but if she had't had the talent to begin with, and if she hadn't worked hard, she wouldn't have lasted long. Lucille Ball was well known to be a stickler for talent and accountability, and if Lucie wasn't "cutting it", Lucy would have sacked her pretty early on, daughter or not.
They were very open about this. Lucie was born to privilege and had golden doors opened for her and they never denied it.
But her parents have been gone for decades and she has made quite a name for herself in the theater and on Broadway. Her parents didn’t do that. She could have easily lived off her inheritance and did nothing. She is still a working actress.
AWFUL
Yikes.
…...a real chubzilla……..
Be kind. She still had some baby fat, she was only 16 in 1967.
