Background information and anecdotes are provided in such categories as * People found Lucille funny * Lucy at home: her various residences throughout the years * Movie/television/radio/theater projects that never materialized * Unproduced episodes of I Love Lucy * Lucy's off-camera romantic attachments James Sheridan and Barry Monush go beyond the well known facts, making his an indispenasible book for all Lucille Ball fans!
