Fox News
Nicole Kidman is set to play the “I Love Lucy” icon in Aaron Sorkin’s upcoming biopic titled “Being the Ricardos.” The film follows Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem) during a week of production on the beloved ’50s sitcom.
Arnaz, who has visited the set for two days, praised the "really great performers" who are "extremely classy and first rate" when it came to depicting her parents. She particularly applauded Kidman, 54, for her "spectacular job." "The two days I watched, though, were both little flashbacks, so [Nicole] was playing Lucy in the late ‘30s and mid-‘40s," the 70-year-old told Palm Springs Life on Wednesday. "She wasn’t Lucy of Lucy Ricardo fame yet, so it was a trifle different."More Related News
