Lucille: The Life of Lucille Ball is an engaging and scholarly biography that delves into the life of one of television's most iconic actresses. Author Kathleen Brady distinguishes the real Lucille Ball from her beloved character, Lucy Ricardo, in a narrative that goes beyond typical celebrity biographies. Brady's unique approach includes extensive interviews with Ball's childhood friends in her hometown of Jamestown, New York, as well as conversations with family, colleagues, and notable figures like Bob Hope and Katharine Hepburn.
This definitive biography reveals a complex woman: from her early struggles in New York, where she was deemed too flat-chested, to her passionate yet tumultuous marriage with Desi Arnaz, including dramatic incidents that shaped their relationship.
