Did you all know Lucille Ball was "technically" part of the communist party?

I'm watching "Behind the Ricardos" on Amazon Prime.

Doesn’t surprise me, was the connection with her husband?

@cherokeepatti I thought so, too... as most would assume. Guess what? Nope. It was her grandfather in the 20's when it wasn't a bad thing. She simply "checked the box" not really understanding communism.

@cherokeepatti Desi couldn't stand the Communists. He saved Lucy from this fiasco.

@graphite I haven't finished the movie! 😬 lol

@perceptivei It's all history anyway. Enjoy the movie. I did, even though I knew all the plot lines beforehand (like Fred and Ethel hating each other, etc).

@graphite yeah. I knew that part (Fred and Ethel).
