@francis.krissinge: Lucille Ball, in a classic 1940s MGM publicity portrait. The copper curls, the blue eyes, the arched brows — that's Lucy before " I Love Lucy." This shot is from her time as a contract starlet and pin-up model, when she was known as a Technicolor redhead and "Queen of the B-movies." A few years later she'd dye that hair even more famously red and become Lucy Ricardo on I Love Lucy, 1951-1957, turning into one of TV's first great physical comedians. https://amzn.to/3NtIINK 👩‍🦰❤️
