You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me, Lucille

The 57-year-old resurfaced at a NYC event recently, looking untouched.
Lucie Arnaz
Lucie appeared on both of her mother's later shows, "The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy," and won an Emmy for "Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie."

According to IMDB, Arnaz was the first choice to play Rizzo in the 1978 film "Grease" but her mother would not let her take the role because Paramount Studios -- which had purchased Ball's company -- was producing the film.

31. She sat at a table next to mine last winter (her husband was being placed into the Arkansas Hall of Fame) and she truly is a beautiful woman. Down to earth and a nice as any average person.

34. I saw her and her husband appear in a musical in Washington, D.C. about 20 years ago. She is very talented.

35. Little Lucie has always been a flawless beauty. You can always tell those who don't over do it on the drugs and alcohol! I believe that's Desi Jr to her right, why was his picture cut off? How rude!

36. Looks just like Desi and she looks incredible. She had a wonderful relationship with both of her parents. Sweet, sweet girl.

37. She adored her mother and is one classy lady as her mother was. Desi, Jr., lives where I live in Boulder City, NV and I have the pleasure of seeing him from time to time. I loved Lucy and my favorite, is a movie she and Desi did together called "The Long, Long Trailer."

38. I saw her in Lost In Yonkers on Broadway, several years ago, she was great. She is such a total mixture of beauty, talent and kindness, a true Hollywood child success story. One you never hear about. She looks fantastic.

40. I got to meet Lucy and her mom at my uncle Jack Foley's 60 birthday party. He was Lucille Balls Film Editor on the later shows. They were both very nice and extremely gracious.

41. Lucie is 10 years older than me, and when I was a little girl and she was a teenager, I thought she was just the most beautiful girl ever and I wanted to look just like her. I tried to imagine how fortunate she was in her wonderful life, being that gorgeous and being Lucy's daughter and living in California with movie stars (my eight-year-old little girl brain)!

Looking back at that picture of her as a young woman, I can see that she was, in fact, a beautiful young woman and she has aged to be a gorgeous 57-year-old woman. Wow - I was right when I was a little girl - she is fortunate. Good genes trumps good surgery EVERY time!

42. She loved her mother's money. It must be nice to be a second rate actress and not have to worry about making a living--keep those I Love Lucy residuals rolling in.

43. FYI!!!! Everyone her name is spelt LUCY!!!!!!!! how can people be a fan and say they watch the show everyday and misspell her name.. The credits clearly roll and say I LOVE LUCY.....School people.. stay in school

44. Dear Tricia (#43),
The daughter of Lucy and Desi is Lucie, the topic of the post & it is spelled correctly. 'Spelt' on the other hand is not a word. What school did you attend?

45. She looks great! The new facelift is no facelift.
