The primary reason I have always adored Lucie Arnaz is because she has always “allowed us in” to her life and her own history. She never failed to be candid and never avoided discussing the pain. God bless this woman. Also, this was an outstanding interview.

@GeeBoggs I've always liked Lucie for pretty much the same reasons as you. She always keeps it real, but even when she speaks somewhat critically of her parents, her deep love for them still comes through. It's great to see that Lucie and Larry Luckinbill still have a warm, close relationship after all these years. God bless them!

A lot of people didn't like her moving the ashes back to Jamestown her Mom's hometown.I'm glad she did. But hey she reunited her mother Lucy with her father who died when Lucy was a small child. Lucie reunited her maternal grandparents with each other . I just see it as a Ball-Hunt family reunion and the headstone looks so better than that little niche and small marker. anyway Happy Birthday Lucie Arnaz-Luckinbill. I have I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, Here's Lucy and the short lived Life with Lucy all on DVD.

The wait staff sang happy birthday to me along with Lucie Arnaz who was sitting in a near by booth. Thank you Lucie! You made that birthday extra special.

I missed her tonight in NYC because I had another commitment. But I have to see her perform again sometime. I remember that she was in a B'way show a while back where she injured her leg or foot, and she could not dance. She did the show and let us know that when the dance number would start, her understudy would take over. She is an amazing person, who is a total delight to listen to. Her parents, despite their turmoil while she was a small child, despite them being so busy working, did a great job with raising her. And I always love to hear how her parents stayed friends and were even able to become closer in a way once they were no longer married and there were grandchildren. I once heard Gary Morton kiddingly refer to Desi as his "X-husband-in-law." 🙂

Lucie, I was in Hollywood in '79 when you were filming a scene from The jazz singer. I think it was a parking lot next to a bank and we're standing there watching you get in and out of a car when your mailman walks by in his everyday clothes and you shout for him and you come out to the sidewalk, call him over and chat with him for a while. Well he came and stood next to us afterwards and we chatted with him and 17 year old me asked him if he could get me your autograph which he gladly did and which I still have to this day (want to see it?). So I want to thank you for that. And I think this little story also shows something about you. You were at work I believe with Neil diamond and you interrupted it to say hello to the man that brought you your mail everyday. He walked right by you. It was you that spotted him.

I am surprised that she said nothing about Buster Keaton who designed the set and the three camera system. He told Lucy, his protege from their MGM days, to put their show on film and tour in Vaudeville, to make their uncommon alliance look usual. They had a wonderful act and the audiences around the nation were on board with them as a beloved couple. Buster directed the first several episodes and both Desi and Lucy, being the veterans of the studios, they were able to make one of the most successful shows in the history of television. The way it evolved from the radio show, My Favorite Wife to I Love Lucy speaks volumes about collaboration and ensemble effort in creative comedy. It is really a lesson we need to relearn in this day and age.
