shutoo Posted September 22, 2016 first thoughts...all were stars of popular tv shows, and all were married to producers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 22, 2016 It's a given that they were all stars of their own shows, so it's something else I'm looking for. You're on the right track with the producers answer but it's more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 23, 2016 Add Lucille Ball to the list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 24, 2016 Add Fran Drescher to the list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libby Posted September 25, 2016 Did they all marry and divorce the producer of their show? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lavenderblue19 Posted September 25, 2016 Not exactly but it's sorta close. They were all married to men they worked with on their shows, they didn't marry them while on the show they were married before their hit shows. and in Desi's case a jack of all trades (maybe not writer) Not just producers, the were writers, directors and they formed production companies together. Yes all divorced their spouses, one might make a link about how these mega successful women who worked so closely with their husbands on their hit shows ALL wound up getting divorced. Libby you can have the thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
