11: Lucy and Desi Get Divorced (Part 6)
After nearly 20 years of marriage, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz called it quits. Their divorce was quick, but it wasn’t simple. They’d grown Desilu into a major Hollywood studio, on par with MGM, Warner Brothers and Twentieth Century Fox. In order to keep the business going, they had to work together. And when that didn’t work out, Lucy had to figure out how to be the boss.
Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
“Love, Lucy,” by Lucille Ball
“The Plot Thickens” podcast from Turner Classic Movies
“The Life of Lucille Ball,” by Kathleen Brady
The documentary “Lucy and Desi”
“Ball of Fire,” by Stefan Kanfer
