Lucille Ball’s Daughter Defends Nicole Kidman Casting For Aaron Sorkin’s ‘Being The Ricardos’ - Deadline

On Sunday, Ball and Desi Arnaz’s daughter Lucie Arnaz set the record straight on who will play her mother.

“Stop arguing about who should play it – ‘she doesn’t look like her, her nose isn’t the same she isn’t as funny,'” Arnaz said, poking fun at the complaints around Kidman’s casting.

Instead, it will follow Ball’s relationship with on-screen husband Desi Arnaz and their relationship on and off-screen.

Eyed to star opposite Kidman’s Ball is Javier Bardem as Desi Arnaz.
