@hollywoodlandphotos: Nearly a decade after Carole Lombard’s death, Lucille Ball was facing a huge career decision, a chance to move into television, but only if the network would let her co-star with her real-life husband, Desi Arnaz. They resisted. Then Lucy had a dream. Carole appeared, dressed as beautifully as ever, and said: “Take a chance, honey. Give it a whirl!” Lucy said that after the dream, she knew for certain they were doing the right thing. She took the chance. I Love Lucy followed and became one of the most influential shows in television history #fyp #lucilleball #ilovelucy #carolelombard #hollywoodhistory
