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 didn’t want the book to end. What a lovely autobiography and so beautifully and accurately read by her daughter. You could hear the emotion in her voice when she read about her mother’s painful childhood. What a life Lucy had! She is and always will be my favorite.

I DO Love Lucy!
I thoroughly enjoyed this tape!!! I didn't really enjoy the parts wherein she speaks of ALL the films, etc. she had been involved with. I really liked the autobiography of her life, upbringing,& personality traits that made her the success that she was. I could identify with the persistence, needs, hunger, and determination to succeed! I truly loved the show as a kid and reruns as an adult, and I will still watch them today when I see them advertised on the tv. I WAS surprised at the depth of Desi. I had only heard about his womanizing! He was really intelligent, sensitive, and compassionate about his life, his business dealings, and the people around him. I even enjoyed the other shows after the I Love Lucy series. She was truly a great comedian and a good actress- right up there with Katherine Hepburn!

Pleasant Surprise
I really enjoyed listening to a book Lucille Ball wrote privately that was narrated by her daughter. Her daughter also adds some of her own insight into it which I enjoyed. I always find it interesting to see how many people think Hollywood stars are and what they are actually more like. Whether that be that the star themself thinks or the person writing their bibliography with extensive insight and research. This was an Audible Daily Deal and I am so glad I snagged it. I finished it in one listen, learned a lot, and have recommended it to several people. One of my favourite books of 2019.
