James Sheridan, co-author of Lucille Ball FAQ: Everything Left To Know about America’s Favorite Redhead, joins Movie Addict Headquarters on August 23rd for a tribute to the legendary actress and comedian who charmed people throughout the world with her movies, television shows and stage appearances. Sheridan and Barry Monush have written a terrific book about this beloved show biz icon. From B-movies to Broadway, Lucille Ball FAQ contains everything you ever wanted to know about the Queen of Comedy. A lifelong Lucy fan, Sheridan  could name every I Love Lucy episode -- in order -- at the age of seven!

As an added attraction, Elisabeth Edwards, who works with Desilu LLC -- the company put together by Lucie Arnaz and Desi Arnaz Jr. to manage the estates of their parents -- will also call in. Elisabeth has  written the upcoming I Love Lucy: A Celebration of All Things Lucy  as well as other books about Lucille Ball.
