S2 Ep99: Having A Ball: Author Sarah Royal (AKA LUCY: The Dynamic and Determined Life of Lucille Ball
This week, we had the pleasure of chatting with Sarah Royal about her beautifully written biography of Lucille Ball: ‘AKA Lucy: The Dynamic and Determined Life of Lucille Ball’.
Sarah truly captures Lucy’s life, character and grit in this colorful coffeetable book.
There are images and easy to follow chapters to keep up with the aforementioned determined life of Lucy - the woman behind the successful redheaded character we’ve come to cherish and love all these years later.
She tells us of how she came to love Lucy, how long it took to put it all together and how she was able to get Amy Poehler to write the forward! Such a great conversation.
