I Was Watching I Love Lucy Today
Johnny Longden - Guest
During the 1956-57 season of I Love Lucy, Longden portrayed himself in the episode entitled "Lucy And The Loving Cup." Desi Arnaz as "Ricky" awarded the cup to Longdon but it was attached to Lucy's head which made for quite a presentation. Earlier in the day, Lucy unfortunately put the cup over her head as a joke but it got stuck and she was unable to remove it.

First Paragraph
He was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, England but his father wanted to build a better life for his family so in 1909 emigrated to Canada, settling in Taber, Alberta. By 1912 Longden Sr. had saved enough money to send for his wife and young son to join him in Canada. However, the Longden's train was late getting to the port of Southampton and they missed their scheduled voyage to New York City on the Titanic.
His Life Was Forever Changed.
