These “I Love Lucy” Co-Stars Reportedly Hated Each Other
I Love Lucy was centered on Lucy and Ricky Ricardo, played by real-life couple Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. The lead actors’ lives intertwined with the show to the point that, when Ball gave birth in real life, Lucy welcomed a baby on the show at the same time. But, when it comes to the other married couple featured on I Love Lucy, Ethel and Fred Mertz, the actors who played them definitely did not have the same kind of personal connection.
