Daughter Lucie Arnaz says she had to set producers of the new film straight on what her mother was really like.
The documentary that began as a study of a superstar “feminist” show-business tycoon eventually became the story of the epic Hollywood love affair between Ball and Desi — including “I Love Lucy,” the smash-hit 1950s television series starring“Lucy and Desi”
Although the Lucy-Desi story has been told many times before — including in an Emmy-winning 1993 NBC documentary, “Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie,” directed by Lucie — their daughter concedes that the time is right for a new interpretation. “And on my mother’s side, they had nothing. They grew up pretty poor — happy poor, but poor. There was a lot of death in her family,” Lucie said about Ball, who was raised in Jamestown, NY. Ball’s father died when she was but 3 years old — the first of many tragic losses the family would endure. “It was just a lot for a young person to deal with. And she ended up having to feel responsible to take care of all those people who she loved. My mother took care of her family for most of her life.
