The trailer is underscored by a lifeless severe Lucille Ball detailing her many accomplishments as a significant Hollywood participant. “I’m the most important asset within the portfolio of the Columbia Broadcasting System,” she says, as Oscar-winner J.Ok. Simmons and Tony-winner Nina Arianda who painting William Frawley and Vivian Vance—higher often called the Ricardos’ married mates Bub and Ethel on I Love Lucy—ready for the enduring humorous girl to reach at a desk learn.
