In 1985 she starred in her own series, The Lucie Arnaz Show, and in 1989 in the critically acclaimed Sons and Daughters, all on CBS.

Lucie’s heart has always been in the live performance arena, and she has been the recipient of a number of theatrical awards including The Los Angeles Drama Critic’s Circle Award, Outer Critic’s Circle Award, Theater World Award, and Chicago’s famed Sarah Siddons Award for creating the roles of Kathy in the west-coast premiere of Vanities at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, Annie Oakley in the Jones Beach production of Irving Berlin’s Annie Get Your Gun, for her Broadway debut as Sonia Wolsk in Neil Simon and Marvin Hamlisch’s They’re Playing My Song, in national tours of Seesaw (directed by Michael Bennett), Social Security (directed by Mike Nichols), opposite her husband, actor/writer Laurence Luckinbill in Whose Life is it Anyway? and opposite Tommy Tune in My One and Only.
