Sybok warp-drives to Arkansas
I met the original Sybok on Saturday during another City Wire excursion, but my favorite part of his public conversation was the discussion of his life- not just the experiences on the set of Star Trek- and his easygoing manner.
Larry Luckinbill married Lucie Arnaz, the daughter of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, the stars of I Love Lucy.
“She married me because I didn’t know her folks,” he said. “I had heard of the show, but never watched it, and I didn’t care.
“The first time we went out, I took her into the mountains to look at the leaves and she took a bunch of pictures. On the way back, she said ‘you remember the episode…’ and I said ‘no, I don’t,’” he said.
It seemed to baffle or fascinate her.
“A lot of people around her just wanted to be close to stardust.”
Luckinbill strongly heeded his down-to-earth country folk quality back then and continues to live proudly by it now.
“I’m from Arkansas, where everybody’s equal,” he said to the audience as he propped his feet up on an ottoman and adjusted his baseball cap.
“When I met Desi and Lucy, I wasn’t going to tapdance for them,” he said. “First of all, I’m a terrible tapdancer.”
If Luckinbill’s life is ever featured in a movie, he would like Brad Pitt to play himself because he has respect for him as an actor. But in truth, “I would want to play it,” he said, smiling.
