17. She Demanded that Superman stay Superman
Over the years, Lucy became friends with many different celebrities and one of them was George Reeves. For those of you who don’t know, he was the original Superman. In one episode of I Love Lucy entitled “Superman”, Lucy promises her son Little Ricky that she will get Superman to come to his birthday party. Of course, shenanigans ensue. But George Reeves does appear much to the joy of Lucy and her son. During filming, Lucille Ball insisted on one thing: that George’s name appears nowhere in the episode credits. Why? Because she wanted any kids watching the show to keep believing that Superman was real.
