I’m sometimes scared of everything that has happened to us. We didn’t think Desilu Productions would grow so big. We merely wanted to be together and have two children. - Lucille Ball

Lucille Ball and daughter Lucie at their home, 1952
My father had very strict rules about what he would let my mother do and what he wouldn’t let her do. He used to tell me, ‘When your mother and I were married, I never let her go on a talk show.’ Because she was so completely different from what the public thought Lucy Ricardo was like that he didn’t want to shock them. He was always very protective of her. - Lucie Arnaz
Desi Arnaz, however, preffered to view the programme [Here’s Lucy first episode] from a highly personal perspective: “I think the wonderful surprise to everyone is my daughter. […] I knew she was loaded with talent. She has a great sense of rhythm and a wonderful sense of humour - which is obviously inherited. She’s got a lot of her mother in her”. Desi phoned Lucille after the premiere broadcast. “Honey, regardless of whether they’re our children or not, they were just great. I just wanted you to know how proud I am of the kids - and of you”. Lucille interrupted him and emotionally said: “Stop that, you troublemaker - are you trying to get me to ruin my dress with tears?”

The Arnazes Vaudeville Act they performed in 1950 to convince CBS that America would love them as a couple. What they were doing onstage, brought us I Love Lucy. What they were doing off the stage brought us… Lucie Arnaz.
