Program Description
Event Details
Todd Hunt, Nostalgic Humorist and Lucille Ball Historian, takes you back to the golden age of television, using slides, audio and video clips to reveal how this classic was created. Discover how it grew out of Lucy’s radio program, “My Favorite Husband.” Trace the arrival of Desi Arnaz from Cuba with no money and his rise to the head of Desilu Productions. And delve into the life stories of Lucy, Desi and cast members Vivian Vance and William Frawley (who were not the original choices for Ethel and Fred Mertz). Remember the candy factory? Stomping grapes? Vitameatavegamin? These episodes all have fascinating back stories!
