“They are of the moment,” Poehler tells EW of the recent spate ofLucy-focused projects.
“A woman and an immigrant who lived the American dream.
A sexy power couple who lived and lived publicly.
Two industry outsiders who pushed against gender stereotypes.
A husband and wife with young children who have a lifetime of rupture and repair.”
“Their story represents the success that hard work and big swings can bring.
But icons are people, and hopefully this film reminds us of that.”
Poehler also cites Ball as a personal inspiration.
“Desi Arnaz was an amazing musician,” Poehler explains of the dual focus.
“One could say he was as equally talented as he was a businessman.
He worked his way into rooms where few Latino men were allowed to enter.
