<p>Chapter 8 is live and sees Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz get divorced (kinda).  While Desi’s still in the Army, Lucille makes ‘Easy to Wed,’ a hit, and ‘Two Smart People’ which, unknown at the time, will be her last at MGM.  Then Desi’s out of the Army to find slipping back into life at MGM isn’t as easy as he’d hoped.  Lucille finds success freelancing -- including beginning her run with Bob Hope and one back in live theatre -- while Desi finds success back on the road.  And then, in 1948, with Hollywood in a panic over the Supreme Court vertical integration decree and the onslaught of television, Lucille focuses on a medium for which she’d previously only guested but will now make her a bonafide star:  Radio.  Please chime in here and/or on Instagram @fromoutofthepastpodcast with your questions &amp; comments, or just sharing your love of Lucille Ball and her road to ‘I Love Lucy!’  Thanks for listening ...</p>
