LUCIE ARNAZ INTERVIEW: Fame, Family & being the daughter of Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz

[@margaretspain2127]

She is still so pretty and natural! ❤

[@sandraforletta9633]

Lucie is THE easiest person to interview! She is always so honest and open with such detailed answers. Lovely interview!

[@jacydawnvaleras]

Thanks for watching!!

[@RoverBoy1899]

Lucie should be doing more audio books. She performs her mother's autobiography spectacularly.

[@sandrasanders706]

Love to hear it. What is the name and is it on Audible?

[@lucythecat12]

Yes!! I'm currently on disc 3.... Her voices lends so much to Lucille Balls life story. Her father's book was just a wonderful. I'm obsessed.

[@lapislazuli7876]

@@lucythecat12 oh wow! You’ve inspired me. Yes I can see Lucie would be great at that : she’s great at performing, and really seems to have inherited both her parents’ passion and enthusiasm for performing, for doing voices, for imitation, for comedy, and for being able to improvise.

[@lindawest1776]

I love that she is so natural! Just herself so to speak💕

[@user-bl6ne3hc6n]

That last shot of the home movies special with Dezi and lucy in the pool with the grandchildren is the most wonderful shot because you can tell they still loved one another, ❤️ ♥️ 💕 💙 💗

[@supersuperrich]

I was an extra in a movie with her. I was a part of the audience at the Pantages theater for The Jazz Singer. She was introduced and walked out on the stage with such confidence chin up and smiling as she approached Neil Diamond. Lawrence Olivier was in the audience as well.

[@maximusprime3459]

Lucie Jr. always had a great personality. She should be as big of a legend as her mother.

[@JacobRamirez-li9dt]

"Lucie Jr." I love it 😅 I'm gonna use that from now on!

[@oohyllab]

More! Her personality is much more endearing imo & Lucie is No slouch in the talent dept either, not at tall!!

[@BonnieBlair-zm4uu]

​@@oohyllabI like Lucie better.❤🙏🕊️✨

[@dawnstrohm5382]

She definitely has her dad's personality!

[@lapislazuli7876]

@@dawnstrohm5382 yeah I can see a lot of her dad. That Latin side. But I also sense her mother’s strength in her. The way she talks fast like her mom. The way she is practical like her mom. Lucille was practical and fast and a doer. I sense that in little Lucie, too. Both her parents really imbued her with that strong sense of self and being able to survive and thrive. People of that generation were different to how people are now. They weren’t victims or offended by anything. They had a strong sense of who they were, warts and all. Even with all Desi’s human failings as a womaniser and so on, he was still an amazing man, and I can see that both Lucille and Lucie adored him and admired him, regardless. He was a fully fleshed out human, with flaws and failings but also with extraordinary passion, ingenuity, inventiveness and intelligence. Migrants of that era were extraordinary people out of necessity and out of needing to make it. Lucie has all those qualities but in a more modern and more enlightened way I suppose. I always admired the Arnaz-Ball family.

[@lifepathnumbernine6607]

I love Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in I love lucy the long long trailer and forever darling plus Lucille Ball on the lucy show and here's lucy with the kids. I suffered a severely abusive childhood unfortunately I had to live with my grandparents and my granny was always watching lucy so I think that's why. She made me laugh and forget about my troubles for awhile. I was just 8 years old when she passed away but I remember it being all over the news for a long time. I'm thankful for Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz

[@lapislazuli7876]

@@lifepathnumbernine6607 I loved the long trailer too. I watched it so many times as a kid. It was always being shown on repeats.

[@lapislazuli7876]

That was the cutest interview ever! Thank you. I grew up watching Here’s Lucy as a kid in the 70s, and I always thought Lucie & Desi Arnaz Jr 36:00 were great on that show. I can see so much of Lucille Ball’s mannerisms in Lucie, the way she talks so fast and is a quick thinker and the way she tells stories and is strong and just confident and capable. And then, I can also see Desi in her too, the Latin side, the passion, the big heart and the inventiveness. Lucie is just a rarity in show business. She’s real. She’s honest, she’s down to earth and she’s just herself. What a gift.

[@jacydawnvaleras]

Thank you & thanks for listening!

[@stihlsawrepairs7955]

At 19:00, Ms. Arnaz def expressed pain that her momma wasn’t able to “be there “ at certain times…and it is what she’s saying…”what do you have to give up for fame?” Lucille Ball was an important part of my childhood on Tv and my grandmother absolutely adored her . Ball was so downright beautiful in SO many ways. Incredible talent and strength and audacity.

[@jacydawnvaleras]

Thanks for listening!!

[@marycatherinerzetelny]

Ms. Lucie Arnaz - bravo, great interview. Level head lady, talented, loving & caring woman. Delightful when her husband, Larry was in video. True love, compassion!

[@cathyellis767]

I grew up watching I LOVE LUCY several times a day! As a kid, we drove by Lucy's house in Beverly Hills, I wrote her a letter and she sent me an autographed photo. Wish I saved it! I am 63 now and I love watching Lucie Arnaz interviews to really learn the real story behind some of my favorite people growing up. You are a wonderful person Lucie and your parents would be so proud. You really know life balance. Great interview! May God bless you both! ❤😊

[@lapislazuli7876]

@@cathyellis767 my grandma and me went on a tour of the Hollywood stars houses in the early 1980s. I was 15. And I’m from Australia. I grew up watching Here’s Lucy and my grandma and I just wanted to see Lucy’s house and we did. She adored Lucy and admired her. It’s so funny how simple things were back then. As Australians back then, we were so influenced by American pop culture. It was our big reference point. Lucy kind of symbolised everything great about America to me back then: the exuberance, the positivity, the can-do attitude, the affluence and everything that was fun and bright and beautiful. It seemed like a magical place to me. I know things have changed a lot since then, and it’s now a strange, distorted, mean, dissociative Trumpian world now, not a funny, pleasant, sweet Lucy world.

[@LiberaceProtege]

Lucie Arnaz is wonderful. Great interview!

This a great interview. I feel she inherited her parents intuitive abilities to come up with solutions and creativity. Lucie has a great personality....you can see that is part of her life path.

[@jacydawnvaleras]

[@jimbaxter6678]

I saw Lucie in "Seesaw" at the Kennedy Center, thought she was terrific, and also saw the production of "Desire Under the Elms" with Eva Marie Saint (although I have no memory of John Ritter in it. I wish I did!). It was wonderful going back to 1974 for a moment. Thank you!

Fantastic Interview, like she said! I Love Lucy and Lucie! Seen every Lucille Ball TV show 100 times. Maybe the I Love Lucy's more than the others. Was thrilled to hear her talking about Seesaw which my parents took me to the Kennedy Center to see when I was 11 years old, The fact she was in it and was so good was such a thrill for me. Thank you for this wonderful interview, keep it up!

[@suestephan3255]

So funny in her memoirs she tells how she had a stage in her backyard. Her mother knew she liked putting on shows so she had a stage built. Because as a youngster her parent were gone all day. The I Love Lucy show were 10 hour days. Putting shows on for neighbor friends gave her joy just like now as CDs a senior citizen. Always liked Luci.

Wonderful! My good fortune brought me together with Lucie for a few brief moments, and this is the person you captured.

Her life is similar to Jamie Lee Curtis accept without the swearing Both are smart and tells it like it is Very nice people ❤ Love from Canada

[@lapislazuli7876]

@@jeanlannin9828 yes I wish stars these days didn’t swear so much or at all. It degrades them. Makes them cheap and somehow not respectable. Lucie would’ve been brought up not to swear and to always be polite. I can see that big Lucille would’ve been a loving but strict mom, and would’ve instilled great values in her kids. I’d like to know how Desi Jr. Is doing now and whether he has managed to find some peace and happiness following his years of addiction. Seems like Desi Jr took after his dad a lot in terms of that addictive personality. But he may have come good now, and I do pray that he’s ok.

[@justme6767]

I love Lucie. She's a favorite ,Desi too.

[@seanlohan6215]

I just love Lucie! According to ancestry, I'm supposed to be a distant cousin and share a common ancestor. But aside from that, in 1972, I was a teen at a masonic convention in Anaheim and they took us on a bunch of studio tours, and we saw the Here's Lucy sets. I saw her pickle costume! The one she danced around in! I was so tickled. My favorite episode was when she played the ditsy secretary that took Lucy's place. So funny.
