I Love Lucy: The Untold Story

Your exclusive backstage pass to the creation of "I Love Lucy"

â€œA true genius. I owe so much to his creativity and friendship.â€ â€”Lucille Ball

Jess Oppenheimer, â€œthe brainsâ€ of "I Love Lucy," gives us an insiderâ€™s view of this groundbreaking show, generously interspersed with script excerpts of many classic Lucy radio and TV comedy performancesâ€”including her famous â€œVitameatavegaminâ€ routine.

Oppenheimer weaves a wonderfully entertaining tale of the creation of this landmark series and its evolution from Lucyâ€™s hit radio sitcom, "My Favorite Husband." Lucy aficionados will delight in his personal accounts of such stars as Desi Arnaz, William Frawley, Vivian Vance, and of course, Lucille Ball.

Oppenheimerâ€™s reminiscences come to life in his son Greggâ€™s new radio play,"I Love Lucy: The Untold Story," the complete script of which is included in this edition.

[Note: A much-expanded edition of Oppenheimer's memoir has been published under the title "Laughs, Luck...and Lucy: How I Came to Create the Most Popular Sitcom of All Time".]
