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.

After eight years on the air, Desi Arnaz did not love Lucy any more. On screen, they were dynamite, a comedy pairing more successful than any Hollywood had ever produced. But when the cameras stopped rolling, they fought, screamed and threatened each other more each season. Finally, an argument in Desi's production office turned violent. Lucy hurled a cocktail glass past his head, and Desi demanded a divorce. He moved out that night. After nearly 20 years, America's favorite couple was finished.

They may go to the same school, but misfits Solomon, Diwata and Howie have never met and their teachers and peers just don't take them seriously - until a sex scandal involving one of their teachers brings them together. Soon they realize that three voices are stronger than one. And since their school has no speech and debate squad, maybe this is their chance to be heard at last - by the school and even the world.

Much like her hit TV show, I Love Lucy, Americans in the 1950s fell in love with Lucy. Born in New York in 1911, Lucille Ball was always a natural performer. She danced in the chorus of Broadway shows and acted in small parts in Hollywood movies. But Ball's true gift was comedy. She found a way to showcase her gifts in 1951 when CBS gave her the chance to star in a sitcom.

The story of how The Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining as the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various aspects of the movie’s fiery creation have been told - sometimes conflicting, but always compelling. Mark Seal sifts through the evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others.

History of TV's Best Show Ever Superbly Performed!
Like millions of others, I have been a fan of "I Love Lucy" my whole life. Many accounts of its history have been written but none have the accuracy as told by the son of the man who created/produced and wrote it. Gregg Oppenheimer carries on his father's legacy and this time relating the story in Play form which makes it entertaining and informative. I knew many of the historical facts of how the series developed but I loved hearing them told thru performance as though we are flies on the wall of the principal players. Based on his father's book, "Laughs, Luck....and Lucy," by Jess Oppenheimer (also available from Audible), Gregg has transformed the well known history (well known to at least super fans) along with fascinating details those new to I Love Lucy might not know but learn thru this fun portrayal. Likely as a bonus feature, Gregg is interviewed by the Artistic Director of LA Theatre Works to add additional stories and insight that make listening thru to the very end well worth the price and time. If you love Lucy as I do, you definitely want to sit back for 90 minutes and enjoy this telling of the beloved history through the art of performance...likely just as Lucy and Desi (and Jess) would have wanted it told.
