Podcast appearances and mentions of Phil Baker

This episode was originally released on 2/1/2020. While new episodes of Breaking Walls are on hiatus I'll be going back and posting the older episodes. ____________ In Breaking Walls episode 100 we focus on the radio career of Lucille Ball, arguably the most famous comedienne of the twentieth century. She rose through the ranks in New York as a model before a small role in Eddie Cantor's Roman Scandals brought her to Hollywood in 1933 where she gained prominence. When the 1940s began, Ball was a b-film actress known for playing the other woman. As she gained critical respect for both her dramatic and comedic ability, she insisted that her and Desi Arnaz made a perfect on-screen duo. It led to a revolution in the way TV was shot and produced in the 1950s, all under their company Desilu. —————————— Highlights: • Jack Haley, Phil Baker, and RKO • Lucy Meets Gale Gordon • How a Holiday Publicity Trip to New York changed Lucy's Life • Lucy meets Desi • Too Many Girls • Lucy and Desi Elope in November 1940 • Harold Lloyd's A Girl, a Guy, and a Gob and The Old Gold Comedy Theater • The Tragic Death of Carole Lombard and Lucy's First Miscarriage • Lucy Stars on Suspense • Desi Strays and Lucy Files for Divorce • The Couple Reconciles and Decides To Work in Radio • Desi and Bob Hope • CBS, My Sister Eileen, and My Friend Irma • Lucy Guests with Jimmy Durante and Bob Hope • Eve Arden and Our Miss Brooks • Lucy Says "Yes" to Bill Paley and My Favorite Husband is Born • Jess Oppenheimer, Bob Carroll Jr., and Madelyn Pugh Join The Team • Lucy Wants to Work With Desi • I Love Lucy is Developed and Philip Morris Signs On • The I Love Lucy Radio Pilot • Changing History and Looking Ahead —————————— The WallBreakers: http://thewallbreakers.com Subscribe to Breaking Walls everywhere you get your podcasts.
