7: Lucy Goes to Hollywood (Part 2)

7: Lucy Goes to Hollywood (Part 2)

Lucille Ball arrived in Hollywood ready to work. She honed her craft. She made powerful friends. She got bigger and bigger roles.

Soon, she became known as the queen of the b’s. As in, queen of b-movies. Critics spotted her talent, but noted that poorly written scripts and low budget films were holding her back. Nevertheless, Lucy persisted.

And then, one day on set, Lucy met a handsome young musician named Desi Arnaz. Their chemistry was undeniable, but no one thought their romance stood a chance.

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