10: Lucy Loves Communism?? (Part 5)

10: Lucy Loves Communism?? (Part 5)

Lucille Ball had everything she’d ever wanted. She had the #1 show on television. She had a family. She had money. But Lucy was waiting for the other shoe to drop. And in the spring of 1952, it did. FBI agents showed up at her door, wanting to know about her relationship to the communist party.

Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
“Love, Lucy,” by Lucille Ball
“The Plot Thickens” podcast from Turner Classic Movies
“The Life of Lucille Ball,” by Kathleen Brady
The documentary “Lucy and Desi”
