Bonus Track: Deconstructing Lucy
Lucille Ball knew however big the star, TV was a writer’s medium. Indeed, every gesture, every glance, and every step was written into the script. In this bonus track, Gregg Oppenheimer – son of creator, producer, and head writer Jess Oppenheimer – reads a bit of the stage direction from “Lucy is Enceinte.” Jess and Gregg Oppenheimer are the authors of Laughs, Luck… and Lucy: How I Came to Create the Most Popular Sitcom of All Time.
