His Time On “I Love Lucy”
Henry Fonda, a real heartthrob back in the day, had a short fling with the feisty Lucille Ball, the famous redhead. They were both up-and-coming stars and got caught up in a whirlwind romance. One night, they went on a fun double date with Jimmy Stewart and Ginger Rogers, and Henry and Lucy fell for each other. But the next morning, when Henry saw Lucy without her stage makeup, he blurted out a shocked “Yuck!”

Years later, Henry joked with Lucy’s husband, Desi Arnaz, saying, “If I hadn’t said ‘Yuck,’ maybe the studio would’ve been called ‘Henrylu’ instead of ‘Desilu’!” It turns out that Henry and Lucy were actually distant cousins, like eighth cousins! Talk about a surprising twist!
