Laughs, Luck...and Lucy

Audible

Thank you to Gregg Oppenheimer for supporting workers in all branches of the performing arts! Gregg has generously pledged all proceeds from his new audiobook, Laughs, Luck…and Lucy by Jess Oppenheimer co-authored with his father, I Love Lucy creator Gregg Oppenheimer.

Laughs, Luck…and Lucy weaves the wonderfully-entertaining tale behind Oppenheimer’s creation of this iconic sitcom—a first-hand look at Hollywood history as it was being made, with behind-the-scenes stories of stars like Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, William Frawley, Jack Benny, Steve Allen and Fred Astaire. It also includes "lost" I Love Lucy scenes, as well as classic comedy performances by Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Vivian Vance, Willam Frawley, Gale Gordon, Hans Conried and Bea Benaderet. Plus Alison Arngrim (Little House on the Prairie's Nellie Oleson) and The Firesign Theatre's Phil Proctor and David Ossman participate in the audiobook as well.
