Lucille Ball

Great large and loaded coffee table book. The photos are gorgeous! Lucille Ball had a real long career. I am in awe of the volume of work Ball had already experienced before "I Love Lucy". She was no doubt a workaholic. From Chorus girl to extra to supporting role to leading lady! My all time favorite lady of Hollywood did it all. The author of this affordable book, Cindy De La Hoz deserves an award for putting this mother load of Ball's cinema work. Good job!

OUTSTANDING!

This gal did her research! LUCY AT THE MOVIES gives you a glimpse of Lucy's appearance in every film she was ever in! Great to have as a reference guide in your film library.

Gorgeous photos and fascinating reading!

This is a large "coffee table" type volume that delivers much more than many in this category. It is absolutely brimming with high quality black and white and color photos many of which will be new to both film and Lucy fans. Most impressively, it covers all of Lucille Ball's films (including the shorts) and offers back-stories and little known facts. On pages 74-75, for example, the reader is shown where to spot the young Miss Ball as a chorus dancer in "Murder at the Vanities" (1934). I congratulate the author and everyone responsible for producing this outstanding work. What a perfect gift for anyone interested in Lucy and classic films!
