Thinking about Tom Hatten (born Nov 14, 1926) on what would’ve been his 99th birthday. My love of #oldmovies is a direct result of watching KTLA's Family Film Festival on Saturday afternoons.
Hatten discussing "The Long, Long Trailer," #LucilleBall & #DesiArnaz: youtu.be/3aUaUCJJaHQ?... #FilmSky
We feel so much pressure to be perfect that we're devastated when we fall short, but we forget that no one is perfect! People aren't admired for being without faults but because their admirable qualities outweigh anything else!

Ricky’s mother is played by Mexican actress and singer Margarita Cabazos AKA Mary Emery. Despite not being Cuban, she was hired because she looked A LOT like Desi Arnaz’s actual mother (seen on right)

A letter by Desi read at Lucy’s 1986 Kennedy Center Honors ceremony held just days after his passing famously ended with “‘I Love Lucy” was never just a title” (tinyurl.com/rns6v2um)
