What Lucille Ball And Desi Arnaz's Daughter Misses Most About Them

The new documentary "Lucy and Desi" takes an intimate look at the lives of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. The stars' daughter, Lucie Arnaz Luckinbill, tells Access Hollywood's Kit Hoover that she hopes viewers gain "a deeper understanding" of her parents. She also revealed what she misses most about them – and it's something that "[drove her] crazy as a kid"! Director Amy Poehler also shared more insight on the "groundbreaking" couple with Access. "Lucy and Desi" is out now on Amazon Prime Video.

One of the best parts of the documentary, for me, is its long overdue recognition of Desi Arnaz (Sr.)'s contributions to the entertainment industry. He was so much more than "Ricky Ricardo." For anyone wishing to learn more about his many lives & careers, I highly recommend his autobiography, "A Book by Desi Arnaz, " which was first published in/about 1976.

I grew up as a sick child always missing a lot of school. Lucy and Desi was my companions . They made me laugh and gave me so much hope wanting a better life and a man to love me. When my mom told me they divorced in 1960. I was stunned and cried and cried. Silly huh? But I was a child of the 50s and 60s. God Bless them both

This doc was so well done! I loved the use of the audio tapes so you could hear Lucy and Desi in their own voices. But Amy, Lucy was not from the Midwest. She grew up in New York State.

Lucille Ball was not born in the Midwest she was from Jamestown New York.

The main reason for I Love Lucy is - Lucy's persistence she wanted Desi to play her husband so he wouldn't go on the road and cat around. She wanted him near.
Truth be told, I waited for this film, waited for the recordings which I liked, though most of Desi's recordings were taken from talk shows I've seen.
I've learned more about them in the last 2 months from reading Lucy's book, now reading Desi's book, reading interviews with people who knew them and knew the real facts about them, more than I learned form the film, though it's a good film, I expected to see more. I thought I'd receive answers from it, but I received more answers from The Plot Thickens.
I wanted to know if they loved each other till the end, just as they did when they were married. People tend to believe they did because it's nice to hold on to that feeling because they were America's favorite couple, and well, their daughter would love to think that because they were her parents... All the quotes I read, of people who knew them, tell they did, but no one will ever know, only THEY know.

I didn’t know that Jamestown, NY is the mid-west.

I grew up watching I love Lucy ! I enjoyed watching them

[gingercollier]

I watched about half of it so far and plan on watching the rest. I enjoyed watching I love Lucy as a kid, but didn’t know how much Desi did for modern day TV and that he directed some of my favorite shows from my childhood. Desi Arnaz just doesn’t get enough credit for all he created during his time in Hollywood. Lucy was very funny but without Desi there just wouldn’t have been a show. I saw Lucy Ball on the Johnny Carson show and she was just as funny in an interview as she was on TV.

I never knew that they was a couple in real Life, I L💖ve Lucy was 1 of my favorite shows I grew up watching it..

What a beautiful daughter! She's the best! I💓Lucy💓Ricky💓Ethel💓Fred!

[sunshinegal]

She did a wonderful job on the film because I definitely came away understanding soooo much more about both of her parents and have much respect for both of them. I loved it so much I told others and watched it again. For me, I was so moved by it that I was sobbing at the end of the movie. It was very touching.
