“I was scared to death when we did our first show. After all, I had done only two movies and wasn’t accustomed to working with one camera, much less with four of them. Lucy sensed that I was scared and went out of her way to set me at ease. She got me laughing so hard before my entrance that I didn’t have time to remember that I was so frightened.” – Vivian Vance
“All I remember about that night was trying to protect my stomach. Lucie had just been born by Caesarean section and I was wearing a huge bandage over my stomach. I was more concerned with that than anything else. When the laughs started coming, I was very relieved. I remember sayin, ‘Whew! It’s working.'” – Lucille Ball
