- Relive the life and career of Lucille Ball" the star everyone loves" through a series of 135 magnificent archival photographs.

An entire section is devoted to I Love Lucy, with photos of favorite scenes (including the Vitameatavegamin skit). The later TV shows, her performance in the dramatic film Stone Pillow, and her triumphant appearance at the 1989 Academy Awards ceremony: it s all here, in a tribute worthy of one of comedy s greatest legends.
