Many Disney movie or television show enthusiasts are also familiar with the hit CBS show I Love Lucy from the 1950s, which starred actress Lucille Ball.
Lucille Ball played a loveably-clumsy character name Lucy Ricardo, and starred on the 1950s sitcom alongside her real husband Desi Arnaz (who played Lucy’s Cuban husband Ricky Ricardo).
These days, Walt Disney might be more well-known on an international scale, but Lucille Ball was arguably just as big a household name in her day as Walt Disney was — and fans have now learned that these two Hollywood icons were (allegedly) a lot more friendly with each other than their fans realized!
Walt Disney was known for his innovation when it came to film and animation, but Lucille Ball was known for innovation when it came to the world of television.
Glamorous Get-Togethers
When it came to the world of Hollywood glamour, Walt Disney was close with celebrities like Ray Bradbury, Ronald Reagan, and then-Vice President Richard Nixon — while Lucille Ball was close with Harpo Marx, John Wayne, Carol Burnett, Dean Martin, and Danny Kaye.
Walt Disney and Lucille Ball were not publicly seen as friends, and were not necessarily known as a dynamic duo in Hollywood — but according to this Facebook post, they were actually each other’s cheerleaders behind the scenes!
In a social media post by Top Disney, it is alleged that the duo were actually close friends.
