Lucie Arnaz
|
Lucie Desireé Arnaz was born on July 17, 1951 in Los Angeles, California. Growing up in the public eye with parents Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz and brother Desi Arnaz, IV, Lucie has cemented her own footprints in history as an actress, singer, dancer, business executive, producer, director, and Broadway star.
Lucie began her long career at age 12 when she played Chris Carmichael’s friend, Cynthia, on her mother’s hit TV program, “The Lucy Show ” (episodes 23 and 27). In 1968, at age seventeen, she became a series regular on “Here’s Lucy ”, co-starring with her reel-life and real-life brother Desi Arnaz, Jr. and the irrepressible Gale Gordon. “Here ’s Lucy ” ran for six seasons, and at its conclusion in 1974, Lucie started production on her first TV movie “Who is the Black Dahlia? ”, which was broadcast on ABC in 1975 along with many others. Since then, Lucie has made a handful of feature films, including the 1980 feature film The Jazz Singer with Neil Diamond and Sir Laurence Olivier, and her most recent feature film, Down To You., with Henry Winkler and Freddie Prinze, Jr., which hit the U.S. cinemas, January 2000. But despite all her movie credits, Lucie’s real passion lies in live theatre.
Lucie’s amazing talent shines through when it comes to Broadway and the theatre. Her most successful and well-renowned play was the Neil Simon/Marvin Hamlisch hit musical “They’re Playing Our Song”, where Lucie played the lovable goof, Sonia Wolsk, receiving outstanding reviews. Lucie has had so many other stage, theatre and Broadway hits throughout the years, some of which include - “Vanities” (Kathy); “Seesaw” (Gittle Mosca); “Annie Get Your Gun” (Annie Oakley); “Educating Rita” (with husband, Laurence Luckinbill); “Who’s Life is it Anyway?”; “I Do! I DO!”; “The Guardsman”; the internationally acclaimed Gershwin musical “My One and Only”; with Tommy Tune, “Social Security”; the Tony Award winning “Lost in Yonkers” (Bella); “Grace and Glorie” (Glorie); “Wonderful Town” (Ruth); “Master Class” (Maria Callas) and and her most recent success “The Witches of Eastwick”.
Lucie has made many television appearances -- too many to list here -- and in 1985 she starred in her own TV series, “The Lucie Arnaz Show.” Another television success was the critically acclaimed series “Sons and Daughters” on ABC (in Australia) and CBS (in USA).
Lucie’s first album Just In Time was released in 1993 by Concord Jazz, Inc. One of Lucie’s own tunes can be heard on this CD, “View From Here”, written by Lucie with Madeline Stone in the late 70s. Lucie can also be heard on several other music CDs, including the soundtrack to her hit Broadway musical, Simon and Hamlisch’s “They’re Playing Our Song”.
In 1980, Lucie married fellow actor, theatre and Broadway star Laurence Luckinbill. Lucie proudly admits that a far greater success than any of her, or husband Larry ’s, professional work are their three children, Simon, Joe and Kate Luckinbill, and Larry ’s two sons Nicholas and Ben. Aside from all her credits on the stage, screen and television, Lucie takes most pride in her role as mother.
