Publisher's Summary

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The one and only autobiography by the iconic Lucille Ball, hailed by TV Guide as the “#1 Greatest TV Star of All Time.”

Love, Lucy is the valentine Lucille Ball left for her fans—a warm, wise, and witty memoir written by Lucy herself. The legendary star of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy was at the pinnacle of her success when she sat down to record the story of her life. No comedienne had made America laugh so hard, no television actress had made the leap from radio and B movies to become one of the world’s best-loved performers. This is her story—in her own words.

The story of the ingenue from Jamestown, New York, determined to go to Broadway, destined to make a big splash, bound to marry her Valentino, Desi Arnaz. In her own inimitable style, she tells of their life together—both storybook and turbulent; intimate memories of their children and friends; wonderful backstage anecdotes; the empire they founded; the dissolution of their marriage. And, with a heartfelt happy ending, her enduring marriage to Gary Morton.

Here is the lost manuscript that her fans and loved ones will treasure. Here is the laughter. Here is the life. Here’s Lucy...

“The comic actress in her own words…intensely moving.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Filled with light and laughter.” —New York Times Book Review

I cannot Recommend this enough!

God what a great listen!! I absolutely LOVED it. Lucy arnaz did a fantastic job ! It was so nice to hear from Lucy again, the story from her lips only! I so enjoyed hearing many things about her life. Obviously my favourite parts were about her and Desi and their time filming I love Lucy. I was absolutely enraptured. My only complaint is that it wasn’t long enough!!! Try it out

I really do love both Lucy’s!

Only bought this book on a last minute “I give up” because I couldn’t find anything that I was interested in…..and I ended up LOVING IT AND I COULDN’T stop reading it and I, like other readers, wish it was longer!! Omgoodness I can’t help but wonder what Lucille would think of it but I know she would have to be soooo very proud of her daughter who did an extraordinary job of bringing the words and her mom to life!!!! Absolutely amazing, what a treasure they found in this manuscript!!!

I loved listening to Lucy’s life story !!

I kept on forgetting that it wasn’t Lucy performing … but her daughter because their voices are so similar!

Fascinating Life-Love Lucy:Well worth a listen!

A very fascinating life,that of Lucille Ball. This autobiography so poignantly delivered thru Lucy and Desi Arnaz first child. Lucy Arnaz for her part delivers her mothers memoirs so vividly throughout and especially strong is her voice acting talent in delivering her Cuban born actor father Desi Arnaz,Sr. Love Lucy-Well worth a listen for anyone,a fan of the I Love Lucy Series of shows or for anyone not fortunate to have grown up in those years. Lucille Ball forever a sold Star of Television!.

Much better than expected

Eye opening, amusing and all presented by her daughter. Behind the public life stories, no back-biting and real life comedy as written ny Lucolle Ball herself.

Loved It!

I love hearing stories told by the author. In this case, it was told by the daughter. Great performance! Lucille Arnaz tells her mother's story perfectly. Her performance is so good, you forget that it's not Lucy telling her story.

Fantastic!!!

I loved that Lucie Arnaz read it. It was funny when she was reading what her Mom said about her. That just made it so special.
