Classic Radio Spotlights: Lucille Ball Audiobook (Free)

This collection showcases Lucille Ball’s amazing spectrum of radio work, from comedy to mystery and everything among.

As Lucy Ricardo, Lucille Ball brought a tomboy’s excitement and a scatterbrained quality towards the long-running television program I REALLY LIKE Lucy. She was the wacky wife making life difficult for her loving but exasperated hubby Ricky Ricardo, played by Ball’s real-life spouse Desi Arnaz. Long before I Love Lucy, Ball worked well her way up Hollywood’s ladder, showing up in films about Common Radio Spotlights: Lucille Ball and many radio displays, including dramatic tasks where she could show her performing chops.

In the summertime of 1948, she accepted the role of Liz Cooper, a zany housewife who found herself facing comical situations, in the air comedy My Favorite Husband. In the series, Liz Cooper’s spouse George Cooper was played by veteran acting professional Richard Denning.
