LUCIE'S TRIBUTE TO KIETH DODGE
January 6, 2006 -
TRIBUTE
TO KIETH DODGE
|
I
am very sad to report that my
longtime
friend and our business manager, Kieth Dodge, 64,
tragically died just before Christmas this past year.
He had been struggling to cope with the emotional side
effects of several recent strokes and regretfully took
his own life in New York City on December
13, 2005.
It
has been a very emotional and sad time for all of us
here. Kieth was not only our loyal and
trusted business cohort for 25 years, but, my best
friend for 31. Trustworthy, honest and loyal to a
fault. He coordinated our lives
professionally, and, (for decades), helped us cope
personally. He was like a brother to my husband,
"Uncle Kieth" to our five children and he
was my daughter, Kate's, godfather-an honor he
took very seriously. This was a first-class man.
We are devastated by the loss and pray that he is at
peace. |
Lucie with longtime friend and business manager, Kieth Dodge.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUCIE FOR JULY 17!
To all of the amazing, supportive and really heartwarming friends and fans who took a moment out of their busy lives to stop and wish me a happy birthday on July 17th, I thank you from the depths of my heart. I read each one of your messages and I was very moved and more than a little flattered. Combined with the wonderful cards, calls, E-mails and voice mails that I received, this was one heck of a birthday! I was actually traveling all that day- returning from celebrating with my mother's brother, my Uncle Fred Ball and his wife Zo in Cottonwood, Arizona where they turned 90 and 86, respectively. We all share the same July 17th birthday and since Freddie was hitting the big 90, we turned this one into a major family reunion and the Ball Clan arrived from all over the country to help celebrate- including some of our extended family, like Frank Gorey and Wanda Clark! The day after I returned I started work on a new film called THE PACK here in NYC and I couldn't be happier. I am home. I am happy. I am healthy. I am with the people I love and I am doing what I love to do. Next up is a Luckinbill Family reunion with my husband, Larry's, relatives in Arkansas and then I will be heading to The Palmdale Playhouse in Palmdale, California for a Sept. 3rd (Labor Day weekend) concert engagement. Home to see some of you there. Again,
thanks for remembering and I wish each and every one
of you a healthy, safe and hope-filled year. All
my love, LucieA |

where Jim not only played himself on the show, but the part of legendary
Phyllis Diller, too! A particularly memorable moment was Jim and
Lucie's amazing duet of "Fever!" ....Perhaps they'll
perform a rendition of it during the show?! The festival runs from
May 28-30, 2004. If you're on of those lucky people able to go,

2004
LUCIE'S "A PICASSO!"
Lucie Arnaz's recent performance in the new play, A Picasso in
Miami, Florida at the Coconut
Grove Playhouse from April 13 through May 8, 2004 was a huge
success!
Written by Jeffrey Hatcher and directed by John Tillinger, A
Picasso was set in Paris during the height of the German
Occupation. Lucie Arnaz played the mysterious Miss
Fischer, who had been hired by the Gestapo to interrogate the
great Pablo Picasso regarding the authenticity of three paintings
left behind by people fleeing the regime. Sex and power
collide in this suspense-filled drama which, while fictional, is
nevertheless a graphic and revealing portrait of the most
influential and controversial artist of the twentieth
century. A Picasso received the Barrymore Award for
Excellence in Theatre for Outstanding New Play 2003 from the
Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia. If you were able to
attend a performance, please don't hesitate to share your
experiences with LucieArnaz.com! For more

To see photos from the show, please click here. Written by Eduardo Machado, "Once Removed" intertwines humour, social comment, satire and sorrow as it tells the story of five priviledged Cuban exiles who flee Castro's Cuba a few months prior to the Bay Of Pigs fiasco. "Once Removed," quoted as a "bittersweet comedy satire of displacement and alienation.” - Variety, now runs from April 22 - May 25, 2003. For

LUCIE ON LAW & ORDER
LAW & ORDER!
Lucie's special guest
appearance on "Law & Order", on
NBC,
February 26, 2003 was welcomed with outstanding reviews
and ratings!
Ratings:
With Law & Order (#1 for the evening: 15.1/23) in
the mix there is no stopping NBC, which bested an above
average (and second place) CBS by an overall 22 percent
on this final night of the February sweep. Although the
absence of ABC's The Bachelorette at 9 p.m. means that
NBC's The West Wing (#2 in the time period: 11.6/17)
will probably skew younger, Dan Rather interviewing
Saddam Hussein on CBS's 60 Minutes II (#1: 12.4/18) had
a seven percent overnight rating advantage.

Thank you so much for all of the supportive and heart-warming comments sent my way from people who saw or heard from people who had seen one of my shows down in South Florida recently.

But, it really makes it even more memorable when you can get such positive feedback from some of the people in your audiences. Thank you everyone and please, keep coming back! Love you, Lucie Arnaz |
