Kathleen Brady
This definitive portrait of Lucille Ball is based on the recollections of fellow performers, including Milton Berle, Ginger Rogers, Bob Hope, and Katherine Hepburn; her closest friends and family; and Lucille herself. From her childhood, when her virtual abandonment instilled in her a relentless drive for love and attention, through her struggling years in Hollywood and her troubled relationship with Desi Arnaz, Brady vividly recounts the story of this passionate and vulnerable woman.

Critic reviews
"While Brady is a fan, she is also a fine biographer. Her admiration is both clear-eyed and penetrating. With insight and impressive detail, Brady goes beyond Ball's most famous creation, Lucy Ricardo, to expose the complex, determined woman." (Chicago Sun-Times)

Would you consider the audio edition of Lucille to be better than the print version?
Audio as it can be used on the go. I prefer to curl up with a good audio device.Who was your favorite character and why?
There's only one...Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I enjoyed the insight on the rarely discussed business side of Desilu. Both Lucy and Desi were shrewd managers of their empire.Any additional comments?
As others have written, Lucy's children do not come across in the best light.Who doesn't love Lucy? The author, maybe?...

I would have liked a little more behind the scenes on certain aspects of the various television shows, but this is a minor quibble.
The narrator sounds like she is bored most of the time. Which makes moments where she wails or cries while describing something very jarring.
Good Book, Lackluster Delivery
