In the 1950s, comedienne Lucille Ball’s wacky hijinks and fearless enthusiasm kept thousands laughing in the new entertainment medium of television. Off-screen, she and husband Desi Arnaz launched a television studio and pioneered new technologies. But what does it mean when an onscreen legend clashes with her offscreen reality? In this historical portrayal, historian and actress Leslie Goddard brings Lucy to life, paying tribute to both the true comic legend and the real woman behind the myth.
