Lucie Arnaz Luckinbill is an actor, singer, dancer, and producer. She has been married to the talented actor, playwright and director Larry Luckinbill for 40 years.
They have 5 marvelous children and most recently two amazing grandchildren. Lucie started her career in showbiz as the daughter of the legendary Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.
But as we all know, famous parents only takes you so far. Lucie has had a steady career in TV, film, and theatre. What’s even more remarkable is that even though Lucie is now more in demand as ever, she is an extreme activist in both politics and the environment.
TV personality Steve Greenberg and PR expert Lois Whitman-Hess, of the Lying on the Beach podcast, recently talked to Lucie about how she successfully does it all.
Apologies to the person, or website, where I found these precious treasures. I can’t remember who you are. These photos remind us that nothing happens overnight.
I remember when there were two types of Americans, those that could solve Rubik’s Cube, and those who couldn’t. That was 30 years ago.
Even though we don’t talk about it much anymore, those two groups still exist. Robbie Gonzalez of Wired magazine, decided enough is enough.
He is going to show you eight steps in the above video that is going to help you solve the puzzle faster and faster.
For those of you who don’t remember, Rubik’s Cube is a 3-D combination puzzle that was invented in 1974, according to Wikipedia. It was invented by Erno Rubik, a Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture. The puzzle made its way to the United States in 1980 thanks to Ideal Toy Corp. Three hundred and fifty (350 million) Rubik’s Cube were sold as of January 2009. Some say it’s still one of the best selling toys.
I couldn’t believe my eyes today. I received an alertfrom Master Class, theonline classroom, that Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chiefof Vogue, and thecreativedirector of Condé Nast, was teaching a course on leadership and creativity.
What? How could that be? I never thought the woman, who has always been portrayed as a block of ice, was going to spendhertime sharinginformation with thecommonman/woman.
I had to see what this was all about. I am a yearly member of Master Class, so I was able to access the course immediately.
I spent a few hourstodaylistening to Anna Wintour talk about her life, family, career, aspirations, mentors, team members, new hires, the changes in theeditorial world, designers, models, andcelebrities.
She certainlydidn’t act likethe woman Meryl Streepportrayed in the “Devil Wears Prada.” Knowing many strongwomen in the businessworld, I’msure Anna Wintour was demanding, but not anymore forceful than most successfulbosses.
I can’t emphasize enough how important it is for most young people to take this course. Just like the podcast I posted in DigiDame twoweeks ago, when I interviewed Frank O’connell, Anna Wintour shared career tips that were invaluableforanyonewhoseriously wants to do well.
The only requirement is for the student to have an open mind and be willing tolearn.
Goodluck!

Family and friends ask me why I travel as much as I do. There is a simple answer to that. “To see the world while I can.” I love to photograph the unexpected.
I love showing others that the world is filled with wonderful surprises that bring us all together in peace and harmony. I never expected that Munich and the Bavarian countryside would be so welcoming. I think we all now understand how a very few can destroy it all. Do something to protect what we all love and want.
If you live in Miami, you often hear TV meteorologists talk about the great work of hurricane hunters. I couldn’t believe these folks existed. It just seemed like science fiction. I wanted to understand more so I looked them up on Wikipedia. “Hurricanes hunters are able to measure the interior barometric pressure of a hurricane and then provide accurate wind speed information–data needed to accurately predict hurricane development and movement.
“Hurricane hunters are made up of aircrews that fly into tropical cyclones to gather weather data. In the United States, the organizations that fly these missions are the United States Air Force Reserve’s 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Hurricane Hunters. Such missions have also been flown by Navy units and other Air Force and NOAA units.”
The whole process is quite remarkable. I recorded the NBC TV news explanation to show you how hurricane hunters work.
This is where Hurricane Dorian hit. This is 90 miles from Nassau. Nassau was spared.
Miami media reports all the airports and docks in the Bahamas were destroyed. Only helicopters can get through. No way to deliver all the goods being donated by private citizens all over the United States.
A smart family from Jacksonville, FL, parked their smart car in the kitchen of their home to keep it safe during Dorian. I call that safe at home.
Lying on the Beach podcast with Steve Greenberg and Lois Whitman-Hess
It’s very possible that one day there is going to be a movie about Steve Rothaus. If we were smart we would buy the rights right now. He is a living legend. At the Miami Herald, he became (one of) the first dedicated LGBT mainstream journalists nearly 20 years ago.
He probably was the first, but Rothaus is too modest to allow us to proclaim that. Rothaus has been quoted as saying that he wanted “the Herald to be out front, ahead of all the other news organizations in South Florida in terms of how we covered the LGBT community and how we treated people.”
TV personality Steve Greenberg, and PR expert Lois Whitman-Hess, of the Lying on the Beach podcast, talked to Steve about his remarkable barrier breaking career
The words of Rabbi Marc Philippe of Temple Emanu-El were so inspiring as we nervously waited for Hurricane Dorian. I wanted to share them with those now in the “cone of uncertainty.”
“This Shabbat is Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the new Hebrew month of Elul. This month , preceding the High Holy Days, is traditionally a time when the Master of the Universe, compared to a King, comes out in the field -out of the castle- to be accessible to everyone who wishes to get close. It is a time of intense closeness with our creator, it is also a time of G-d’s physical manifestation.
“Rain is often compared to a physical manifestation of the Divine. This year, for the new month of Elul, the Divine is being manifested with great force, reminding us that despite our resources and our advanced technology, we are ultimately not in control.
“However, this isn’t entirely true. We do have some control: the power of our prayer.
“I pray that you may be blessed (and may you bless the community as well) that G-d’s Shelter of Peace protect you and give you comfort.
This Shabbat, more than ever, I invite you to come to Shul, let us take advantage of this closeness with our Creator in order to pray for everyone’s safety.
“We are a community and a family, please let us know if you need any assistance.”
