REELZ takes viewers into the behind the scenes life and relationships of Lucille Ball through touching interviews with friends and comedians, Carol Burnett, Lily Tomlin, Debra Messing, and Suzanne Somers. These fellow comics share their lasting memories of the red-headed comic.
Legendary comedienne and friend Burnett — who has won numerous Emmy and Golden Globe Awards — shares the icon’s last words to her during an emotional interview in the upcoming special.
The actress, 87, explains "She always sent me flowers on my birthday" that said "Happy Birthday kid." For years, the transformative figure would send a "beautiful bouquet of roses."
