Audiences across the country knew America’s favorite redhead was adored by Desi Arnaz – but long after “I Love Lucy” came to an end and her marriage to her co-star ended in 1960, Lucille Ball became happily devoted to her second husband, comedian Gary Morton.
LUCILLE BALL BIOPIC STARRING CATE BLANCHETT IS MOVING FORWARD
Closer Weekly reported Wednesday the magazine has uncovered a trove of love letters from the late star, which sheds new light on their marriage. The union lasted until Ball’s death in 1989 at age 77.
“Boy, did I pick a winner!” Ball wrote to a friend in 1983 after she married Morton in 1961. “After 19 years with that Latin lover I never expected to marry again, but I’m glad I did!”
Longtime friend Carole Cook told the magazine that while Ball and Arnaz shared undeniable chemistry in the beloved ‘50s sitcom, the romance was stormy. Arnaz’s reported drinking and indiscretions with other women humiliated the actress.
