Van & Lucille Ball had a life long friendship going on. They started out together on the RKO lot. Van was a regular at Desi & Lucy's poolside parties in Hollywood. One forgets that LB was a great dancer. Just look at those gams. Wow!

One of my favorite scenes from I Love Lucy. Van & his buddy dancing to the Burton Lane/Ralph Freed tune, How About You? TV doesn't get better than this! RIP Van :eusa_clap

Just saw him in "Good Old Summertime". He was just terrific!
May he rest in peace.
