Living History Portrayal of Lucille Ball by Leslie Goddard

In the 1950s, comedienne Lucille Ball captured the hearts of television audiences across the nation. But what does it means when a TV star’s onscreen legend clashes with her offscreen reality? This historical portrayal pays tribute to both the comic legend and the real woman behind the myth.
