A fan did break into Lucille Ball's guest house, slept over night and took her address book, which included phone numbers. She was pisses. He did call Lucy. After Lucy calmed down, the thief said 'Well Ethel Mertz and you did things like this." Lucy: "Ok, but return my address book." From a video of a Q&A w/ Lucy at the Paley Center. This is all because I took a political science class with a young actor from South America who lived on Roxbury Drive and was watching a lot of Jimmy Stewart films.

Lucille Ball felt the same way, referring to Mary as a "hard-hearted Hannah". Livingstone's relationship with their adopted daughter, Joan, was strained. In Sunday Nights at Seven (1990), her father's unfinished memoir that she completed with her own recollections, Joan Benny revealed she rarely felt close to her mother, and the two often argued. https://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/1999/04/roxbury199904 Concerning Roxbury Drive, Beverly, Hills

Harry was 91 in early March 2018.

Harry Belafonte Th 1959 Carnegie Hall concert is one of the finest live albums ever, and only the second non-classical album recorded at the hall. Harry started as a folk singer, recorded dozens of records, a film star, recipient of the 1989 Kennedy Center Honors. But, he is best known as a civil rights advocate. Most of all Harry Belafonte is an American Treasure. Truly Wonderful

Jack knew when all the movie star bus tours were scheduled daily, so he would visit Lucille Ball and her family in between bus tours. They lived on Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills. The last time I visited Beverly Hills (about 15 years ago) the houses on Roxbury Drive still were completely open to the public. Anyone could have rung Jack Benny's door bell, and he would have likely answered himself --- same for Lucy.
