Lucille Ball
About this listen
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

Story
If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time.

Story
Take one look at Kevin Smith: He's a balding fatty who wears a size XXL hockey jersey, shorts, and slippers year-round. Not a likely source for life advice. But take a second look at Kevin Smith: He changed filmmaking forever when he was twenty-four with the release of Clerks, and since then has gone on to make nine more profitable movies, runs his own production company, wrote a best-selling graphic novel, and has a beautiful wife and kids. So he must be doing something right.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.
