Lucy & Desi / Warren G. Harris 641 p.

Lucy and Desi. One of Hollywood’s most famous couples. So popular that they are known by their first names. Harris tells their story with candor. Lucy is the Queen of the ‘B’ movies until 1940 when she teams up with a young Cuban singer, Desi, in the film Too Many Girls. Lucy and Desi began a romance that led to marriage. Harris tells of their pre “I Love Lucy” lives and romances. He describes their live together; the ups and downs, and their careers, Lucy’s radio show and Desi’s band show. He continues the insider view of their marriage and the flaws and its eventual breakup. Desi is the behind-the-scenes powerhouse that took care of production for their show as well as the force behind Desilu Productions. It was nostalgic to read about the most popular of all TV with the series still running today.
