The behind-the-scenes story of television�s happiest couple, and Hollywood�s most tumultuous marriage The magical union of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz created I Love Lucy�the greatest, most enduring situation comedy in television history. Yet the overwhelming pressures of fame, backstage battles, oversized egos, and Desi�s philandering and drinking led to the destruction of their star-crossed, tempestuous marriage�but never their love for each other. This new edition of Desilu features a special commentary by Pulitzer Prize-winning TV critic Tom Shales, and includes a brand-new preface and never-before-seen photographs. Written with the close cooperation of family members, including Lucy and Desi�s daughter, Lucie Arnaz, Desilu is the most candid and balanced inside account of Lucy and Desi�s celebrated, but ultimately tragic, relationship�as well as a fascinating look at the legendary Desilu Studios and the fabled golden age of television.
