The Making of I Love Lucy

September 20 | 1-2P | Museum Auditorium | FREE

Todd Hunt, a 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 show 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. Learn how Lucy was accused of being a communist and how FBI head J. Edgar Hoover assured America she was not.
