My name is Lucie Arnaz

I lost my father on Dec 2 1986. I lost my mother on April 26 1989. For me and my brother Desi, the mourning has been difficult. My parents divorced in the late fifties. Both remarried. Both second marriages lasted over 20 years. 

My father's second wife Edie died in 1985. When my father died in 1986, my brother and I were his only heirs. When my mother died in 1989, Desi and I became heirs of her estate. Desi and I had to deal with both estates in three years. Life goes on.

With the help of a Mrs Hoffman, my mother transcribed her life for two years. These were interview sessions. What came of it was an autobiography. Childhood friends and people from my mother's hometown of Jamestown New York.

This is my mother's story. Told by Lucille Ball in her own words.
