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

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.

Love, Lucy - so enjoyable

I loved this autobiography. Made me laugh and cry. Having her daughter narrate it brought the whole thing to life because she was able to imitate her dad and mom quite well.

I love Lucy too.

Honest account of her life. She was not an inflated ego.
I thought perhaps there would be humorous involved.

Loved it!

I had grown up watching reruns of I Love Lucy and loved Lucille Ball but hearing her own story in her own words… amazing story of a true rags to riches story with struggles, adversity & the drive to succeed!

review Love, Lucy

I found this story very interesting. I learned of Lucy's life and how she had many trials but was a successful entertainer.

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.

This was terrific!

A great book, written by a lovely lady during Hollywood's Heyday... and the House Unamerican Activities Committee. Too bad it only goes to the early 1960s, shortly after her marriage to her second husband. Very well read by her daughter Lucy Arnaz.

A must for I Love Lucy fans

Great anecdotes and performance! loved that Lucy's daughter read the book! I knew parts of the story but there were a lot of deep cuts. Very interesting autobiography.
