Meeting Gary Morton
Moving to the other side of the country meant she could leave her baggage in the West Coast. New York was full of new opportunities and new people, but most importantly, it meant that she would be far, far away from her ex-husband. In her divorce papers, she described life with Desi as “a nightmare.” Yikes.
Paula Stewart was more than happy to introduce Lucy to her circle of friends, one of whom was Gary Morton. And as fate would have it, Lucy and Gary would fall head-over-heels in love with each other. Despite being 13 years her junior, the two instantly clicked, and they were married one year after her divorce.
