Darin Strauss: The Queen of Tuesday

Darin Strauss

The Queen of Tuesday: A Lucille Ball Story

Sponsored By Fox Rothschild, LLP

This indelible romance begins with a daring con­ceit—that the author's grandfather may have had an affair with Lucille Ball. Strauss offers a fresh view of a celebrity America loved more than any other. Lucille Ball—the most powerful woman in the history of Hollywood—starred in America's first big-time interracial marriage. She owned more movie sets than did any movie studio. And she more or less single-handedly created the modern TV business. And yet, Lucille's off-cam­era life was in disarray.

While acting out a happy marriage for millions, in private she suffered. Her partner couldn't stay faithful. She struggled to manage her fame with the demands of being a mother, a creative genius, an entrepreneur, and most of all, a symbol. The Queen of Tuesday—Strauss's follow-up to the NBCC-winning Half a Life—mixes fact and fiction, memoir and novel, to imagine the provocative story of a woman we thought we knew.
