You know I had a feeling about that was something there because it seemed too real and the lady seemed like she didn't like Lucy, but anything is possible but it seems so real how they fought

I knew the story. The lady really looked pissed

I heard too many different stories about that scene. Somebody else said that Lucy was choking on a grape and the crew had no idea til after they stopped filming the scene.

False! The show runners said that Lucy, 'who always liked to tell a good story', told this fanciful tale on several talk shows throughout the 60s & 70s. All first hand accounts of that night, including from Jess Oppenheimer himself, say there were no such issues and filming went off as planned. Further, the routine had been rehearsed for an entire week beforehand. Teresa emigrated to the United States with her family at the age of fifteen and graduated from the Leonardo Da Vinci Art Institute of New York. In 1943, more than ten years before the grape stomping episode, Teresa, her husband, and their four children moved to California. As an actress, Teresa worked for MGM and appeared in a number of movies and television shows, including several episodes of Playhouse 90, Dr. Kildare, Baretta, Columbo, General Hospital, A Bell for Adano, The Godfather I and The Godfather II. Teresa also had a long history of public service and benefit appearances, one for which she received a personal thank you note from President Franklin D. Roosevelt. She toured the Italian prisoner of war camp at Camp Ono near San Bernardino, participating in shows to cheer the homesick men, and she contributed to the campaigns to raise funds for the Alluvionati di Firenze, the Terremotati di Sicilia and for the Tumor Reseach Institute of Milan. In 1981, the Federation of Italian-Americans of Los Angeles named Teresa WOMAN OF THE YEAR to honor her philanthropic and cultural contribution to the community.
