Summary

Before I Love Lucy, television was the risky new medium no one was sure about. It was made in New York, 3,000 miles away from Hollywood. And it certainly didn’t feature funny women. But Lucy and Desi changed all that. Today, author and Lucille Ball superfan Darin Strauss breaks down the incredible legacy of Lucille Ball, and tells us why he wanted to blend his family history with hers in his novel The Queen of Tuesday: A Lucille Ball Story.
