Here's the info. on the original and GREAT movie, "Yours, Mine and Ours". (1968)
Based upon the real story of Helen Eileen Beardsley and her husband.
The real Helen Eileen Beardsley appeared on "To Tell the Truth" (1956) where she related her story to the panel.
Helen Eileen Beardsley (who wrote the book Who Gets the Drumsticks? on which this was based) died 26 April 2000, aged 70, Healdsburg, California, USA (Parkinson's disease).
The wedding invitation used in the movie is the actual wedding invitation designed by Frank Beardsley, husband of the real Helen Eileen Beardsley. The children's' names are listed in their real-life birth order.
The baby born at the end of the movie is Joseph John Beardsley. He was born in the early hours of 14 July 1962.Lucille Ball co-produced the film under her company, Desilu Productions. When the film became a surprise smash hit grossing over $17 million on a $2.5 million investment, she became furious about it. She hadn't anticipated the film's huge box-office success and failed to provide a tax shelter for her personal profits, resulting in most of her share going in taxes.

Oh funny, "Kathie Lee" moment story. Last night Jewel was "helpful" by washing her hands by herself at the kitchen sink. She spilled 1/2 bottle of hand soap all over the kitchen floor. Well, my floor needed scrubbing, but I truly would have used less soap.
