NOT everyone loved LUCY! Acting legend RICHARD BURTON hated her with every ounce of his being.
“She is a monster of staggering charmlessness and monumental lack of humor,” he wrote in his diary after a

pratfalls and desperate upstaging and cutting out other people’s laughs if she can, nervously watching the ‘ratings’
as she does so.
