Lucille Ball: Queen of Comedy
by Betty Jo Tucker

On August 5, Movie Addict Headquarters remembers Lucille Ball, the legendary actress and comedian who charmed people throughout the world with her movies, television shows and stage appearances. Joining in this tribute to the Queen of Comedy are James Sheridan, co-author of  Lucille Ball FAQ: Everything Left To Know about America’s Favorite Redhead, and Elisabeth Edwards, author of I Love Lucy: A Celebration of All Things Lucy as well as other books about the beloved show biz icon. Sheridan, a graduate of Fordham University at Lincoln Center, majored in communications and media studies. He’s a lifelong Lucy fan who could name every I Love Lucy episode in order at the age of seven! Edwards works at Desilu, LLC  -- a company Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. put together to manage their parents’ estate.  

Because Lucille Ball’s fame developed primarily from her ultra-popular TV shows, her film career sometimes gets neglected. But check out the list below for a few titles of movies she made – and the list isn’t even complete!

“Lucille Ball: Queen of Comedy” airs on BlogTalkRadio at 4 p.m. Eastern Time (1 p.m. Pacific Time) on Tuesday, August 5, 2014.  If you’re a Lucy fan, please don’t miss this fun episode!
