Lucie began her long career in a recurring role on television on The Lucy Show, opposite her mother, Lucille Ball. At age fifteen, she became a series regular on Here’s Lucy, a show which ran for six seasons. She starred in her own series, The Lucie Arnaz Show and later in the critically acclaimed Sons & Daughters on CBS. On the big screen, Lucie has starred opposite Neil Diamond and Sir Laurence Olivier in The Jazz Singer (for which she received a Golden Globe nomination), opposite Tom Laughlin in Billy Jack Goes To Washington, alongside Ken Howard in Second Thoughts, and opposite Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Henry Winkler in Down To You, a Miramax film. Lucie costarred with Richard Roundtree, Robert Loggia and Bob Forster in Wild Seven and in an award-winning controversial film about second hand smoke from writer/director Alyssa Bennett entitled The Pack which debuted at Sundance.
In 1979, during the run of They’re Playing Our Song, Lucie met her husband, actor/writer, Laurence Luckinbill, while he was also on Broadway in another Neil Simon hit, Chapter Two. The couple were married in June of 1980 and they have appeared together in the American premiere of Educating Rita, directed by Mike Ockrent, sold out tours of I Do, I Do and They’re Playing Our Song, national companies of Whose Life is it Anyway? and the Andrew Bergman comedy Social Security, directed by Mike Nichols (a Carbonelle Award) and in the revival of Lunt and Fontane's The Guardsman at The Papermill Playhouse. Lucie has also starred opposite Tommy Tune in the national company of the acclaimed Gershwin musical My One and Only (Sarah Siddon’s Award). Touring the U.S. and Europe with her critically acclaimed nightclub act, Lucie has made stops in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Tahoe, Reno, The Cinegrill in LA, and New York’s elegant Rainbow and Stars, Feinstein’s and several sold out appearances at the world famous Birdland Jazz Club. As a director, Lucie has recently helmed the New York LAB production of the new musical, HAZEL: A Musical Maid In America and Michael Childers' One Night Only: Sondheim In Love concert at The McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert, CA. Her first album, Just in Time, was released on the Concord Jazz label and her newest CD, Latin Roots was released in 2010 through LML Music. Throughout her varied career, Ms. Arnaz has found herself helming several different production retrospectives based on the iconic fame of her parents, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.
With her husband, Larry Luckinbill, she teamed up to form ArLuck Entertainment, which produced the Emmy award-winning documentary, Lucy & Desi: A Home Movie, (for NBC in 1993, and subsequently A&E and Nickelodeon and currently available in DVD), published two CD-ROMs; Lucy & Desi: The Scrapbooks, Volume I and How to Save Your Family History: A 10-Step Guide by Lucie Arnaz. ArLuck Entertainment produced An Evening With Lucille Ball: Thank You For Asking, a one woman show starring Suzanne LaRusch co-written and directed by Ms. Arnaz. In 2006 Lucie spent several months back on The Great White Way costarring with Jonathan Pryce, Norbert Leo Butz, Rachel York and Gregory Jbara, and then Keith Carradine, Brian D'Arcy James, and Sherie Rene Scott in the rib tickling Jeffrey Lane/David Yazbek musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, brilliantly directed by Jack O'Brien and played to sell-out crowds at the Imperial Theatre where she made her first Broadway appearance nearly 30 years before in They’re Playing Our Song. Lucie made waves as Berthe in the national touring company of Pippin, performing up-side-down nightly in a tantalizing trapeze act alongside original cast member John Rubenstein. Lucie currently tours the country with her new show I Got the Job! Songs From My Musical Past, as well as two versions of her show, Latin Roots - the original, big band version, and a smaller band version for more intimate venues. Celebrating a life on stage, Lucie Arnaz returns in I GOT THE JOB! Songs From My Musical Past. From her first role at 14 as The Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland to a grandmother hanging upside down on a trapeze while singing about the preciousness of life in Pippin, Lucie and musical director Ron Abel offer audiences this brand new concert sharing stories and songs that Lucie has long been known for. With anecdotes and fond memories about her co-stars, directors, and musical collaborators, Lucie offers iconic songs and hidden treasures from some of Broadway's greatest shows and a look at the backstage magic it takes to create them.

I finished watching it! Thanks Jim, it is so great how you make it just so casual and natural (and not scripted like you say). The varied photos are a nice touch and added bonus too 😊. It is always fun to hear too about the extension of Lucie 's life - Lucy & Desi ❤. We were so privileged to go to Jamestown to the Museum on Lucy's birth-date weekend back in 2003. What a special treat!! 😃

Nice interview! I wish I would have seen it live, to comment on "the Arts" as for at least five years there has been an Arts Program at Huron Heights Secondary School in Newmarket, Ontario! 🇨🇦 . Many kids transfer there to join the program (it offers a package of specialized arts credits (two per year) that count toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma). The school has excelled from what it was negatively labeled as back in the 70's/80's/90's especially. 🙂
Thank you very much for watching and enjoying! Hope you'll subscribe to our channel enjoy more from our series! Cheers!
I saw Lucie, John Gavin and Tommy Tune in Seesaw at the Colonial Theatre in Boston in 1974.
Sitting in front of us were Lucille Ball, Gary Morton and Lucy’s mother, DeDe.

Lucie needs to write an autobiography!
Absolutely! Thank you very much for watching and enjoying!
aww good for her. I thought she was fantastic on the Lucy Show and Here's Lucy. Like it's sweet to hear that Lucy demanded her kids be on the show with her, but if they were lousy performers that would just be nepotism.. so they clearly worked hard and were genuinely good at it.
