Doris Singleton (I Love Lucy's Carolyn Appleby) has Died

Actress Doris Singleton, best known as Lucy and Ricky Ricardo’s neighbor and occasional nemesis Carolyn Appleby on I Love Lucy, died Tuesday in Los Angeles. She was 92.

Singleton met I Love Lucy star Lucille Ball before a performance of My Favorite Husband, the radio show that preceded I Love Lucy. She appeared in 10 episodes of the 1951-57 sitcom — including the classic with guest star Harpo Marx and Ball mimicking each other's moves as in a mirror — as the wife of a radio station owner played by Hy Averback.

"Harpo played a concert for us afterward," Singleton recalled in a 2005 interview with the Archive of American Television. "I loved [doing that episode] because I was one of the blondes he was chasing!"

Singleton would go on to appear alongside Ball on many of her other shows through the years.

Andy Griffith, Ernest Borgnine and now Doris.

Last night my wife wondered who would be the third.

RIP, Doris, you work will continue to entertain.
