Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's daughter Lucie Arnaz has a little something to say about the controversy surrounding the actors that will play her parents in an upcoming movie.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem are in talks to play the television icons in "Being the Ricardos," an Aaron Sorkin-directed film that will follow a week of production on the sitcom "I Love Lucy." Since then, an outcry from fans has offered criticism of the casting, particularly from fans wishing that Ball lookalike Debra Messing be given a shot at the role.

Messing even spoke out regarding the controversy, saying she's "available" to take on such a role. However, Lucie, 69, is sticking to her guns and standing up for Kidman's.
