Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Indisputably the first "First Lady of Television" was Lucille Ball. Where is she interred?

Answer: Jamestown, New York

Lucy (August 6, 1911 - April 26, 1989) was cremated and her ashes were spread at Lakeview Cemetery in Jamestown, New York. She died of a ruptured aorta a week after open heart surgery.

Ball was already a star of radio and movies when she married touring big-band leader Desi Arnaz in 1940. They continued their independent careers after marriage. Desi constantly traveled with his band, putting strain on their marriage. When she was offered the opportunity to take her radio show "My Favorite Husband" to television, she agreed...with the stipulation that Desi appear opposite her. They created "I Love Lucy," which premiered in 1951 and ran until 1957, garnering immediate hit status. Their marriage lasted three years after the demise of the show, which continues to be shown worldwide in reruns.
2. Remembered primarily as the straight man to Lucille Ball, where is Desi Arnaz singing "Babaloo" today?

Answer: Cremated, whereabouts unknown.

Desi (March 2, 1917 - December 2, 1986) was cremated and the whereabouts of his cremains are unknown. He died of lung cancer.

Arnaz married Lucille Ball in 1940. Arnaz was the co-star of "I Love Lucy" from 1951 - 1957. Lucy and Desi were the founders of Desilu Productions, a prolific TV production company. They divorced in 1960. Lucy then bought Desi's share of Desilu for three million dollars. Desi rapidly fell from the limelight and began drinking and gambling heavily. Lucy reformatted the show into "The Lucy Show" then "Here's Lucy" keeping her on prime-time US television until 1974 and worldwide reruns forever.
3. Where is Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance) buried?

Answer: Cremated

Contractually, the attractive Vivian Vance (July 26, 1912 - August 17, 1979) was required to remain twenty pounds overweight for the run of "I Love Lucy." When she joined Lucy as 'Vivian' on the "Lucy Show" she was allowed to lose the weight and leave her frumpy character behind.

Vance succumbed to bone cancer. She was cremated and the disposal of her cremains are unknown.
4. William Frawley's final TV show was "My Three Sons," where he played 'Bub,' the grandfather. What caused his death?

Answer: Heart attack on Hollywood Boulevard.

Frawley (February 26, 1887 - March 3, 1966) played Fred Mertz on "I Love Lucy." He died a few minutes later in lobby of the Knickerbocker Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard. Bill started his career in vaudeville and later stage. He had over 100 film credits, mostly all supporting roles. Vivian Vance didn't originally think that they would work as a married couple due to the twenty-five year age difference...It worked though, didn't it?

Frawley played 'Bub' on "My Three Sons" from 1960 to 1965, when poor health forced him from the show.
5. In the TV series "Family Affair," who played 'Uncle Bill?'

Answer: Brian Keith

Brian Keith (November 14, 1921 - June 24, 1997) played 'Uncle Bill' from 1966 to 1971 when the show ended. He then played 'Judge Milton Hardcastle' in "Hardcastle & McCormick" on TV during the mid-eighties.

Suffering from lung cancer and emphysema, depressed over the recent suicide of his own daughter...Keith ended his own life. He was cremated and his ashes were dispersed with his daughter's at Westwood Memorial Park in Santa Monica.
6. Anissa Jones' life ended prematurely. What accident caused her demise?

Answer: Drug overdose

Jones (March 11, 1958 - August 28, 1976) died of what the coroner stated was the most massive overdose he had ever seen.

After "Family Affair" ended in 1971 Jones tried out for the role of Regan in "The Exorcist," she didn't get the role. After that she quit show business and entered the world of drugs and alcohol which eventually caused her death.

Anissa was cremated and her ashes spread over the Pacific Ocean.
7. He played 'Mr. French,' the butler, in television show "Family Affair." Where are Sebastian Cabot's remains?

Answer: Santa Monica, California

Cabot (July 16, 1918 - August 23, 1977) was cremated and his ashes were interred in the same area as his good friend and co-star, Brian Keith. They are both at the Westwood Memorial Park (Sebastian got there first).

Walston (December 12, 1914 - January 1, 2001) played the Devil in both the Broadway (1955) and film versions of "Damn Yankees" (1958). He was born Herman Walston in Laurel, Mississippi. He may have in fact sold his soul to Satan when he signed on to play the extraterrestrial in television's "My Favorite Martian" (1963 - 1966) solely for the paycheck. Ray also starred in the 1999 film of "My Favorite Martian," but as a scientist, not the title role.

Answer: Hartsdale, New York

Sullivan (September 28, 1901 - October 13, 1974) began his career as an entertainment columnist for the 'New York Daily News.' In 1948 he was offered the opportunity to take his column "The Toast of the Town" to television. The show was renamed "The Ed Sullivan Show" in 1955 and remained thus till 1971.

He died of heart failure and is interred at the Hartsdale Mausoleum in Hartsdale, New York.
