Lucie's film credits include co-starring in The Jazz Singer with Neil Diamond and Sir Laurence Olivier, as well as several made-for-television movies including Who Killed the Black Dahlia, Washington Mistress, The Mating Season, Who Gets the Friends? and Abduction of Innocence. Most recently, Lucie starred opposite Freddie Prinze Jr and Henry Winkler in Down to You, a Miramax feature film. On the stage, Lucie first created the role of Kathy in the west coast premiere of Vanities at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. She then hit Broadway, starring as Gittle Mosca in the national company of the musical Seesaw. She spent a summer onstage at The Jones Beach Theatre in New York, in the starring role of Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun. Broadway beckoned her back and she went on to star as the unforgettably wacky Sonia Wolsk in the Neil Simon/Marvin Hamlisch musical They're Playing Our Song. Lucie appeared in the American premiere of Educating Rita and starred in the national tours of Whose Life Is it Anyway? and I Do! I Do! The reviews were outstanding for her re-creation of one of Lynn Fontanne's great roles in a revival of The Guardsman, after which Lucie went on to star opposite Tommy Tune in the international company of the acclaimed Gershwin musical My One and Only. Under the direction of Mike Nichols, she toured nationally in the Andrew Bergman comedy Social Security. In 1992 Lucie returned to the Broadway stage where she received rave reviews for her portrayal of Bella in Neil Simon's Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play, Lost In Yonkers. She starred on Broadway in Grace and Glorie, a two-woman play with Estelle Parsons, and toured Southern California in a revival of the Tony Award winning Leonard Bernstein musical, Wonderful Town. In spring of 1999 she starred as Maria Callas in the Seacoast Repertory Theatre's production of Terrence McNally's Tony Award winning play, Master Class. Touring the US and Europe with her critically acclaimed nightclub act, Lucie has made stops in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Reno and New York's elegant cabaret, Rainbow and Stars. Her debut album, Just in Time, was released on the Concord label. In 1990, Lucie and her husband, actor/writer Laurence Luckinbill, teamed up to form ArLuck Entertainment, a film and television production company, and together produced the Emmy Award-winning documentary Lucy & Desi, A Home Movie, which aired on NBC. In 1997, through another company -- Education Through Entertainment -- they produced two CD-ROMs -- Lucy & Desi: The Scrapbooks, and How to Save Your Family History, a 10-Step Guide by Lucie Arnaz. Lucie has received other awards during her distinguished career, including the Los Angeles Drama Critic's Circle Award, the Theatre World Award, an Outer Critic's Circle Award, and Chicago's famed Sarah Siddons Award. Lucie is mother to three children - Simon, Joseph and Katharine - with husband Laurence Luckinbill, in addition to being stepmother to his two sons, Nicholas and Ben. It is these credits of which Lucie is most proud.  Browse Lucie Arnaz titles... More LUCYlibrary Profiles | |||||||||||||||||||||
