Here's a rare color picture of young and beautiful Lucy in her early 20s, years before meeting the love of her life.Her hair was still blond/brunette and she was still finding that Lucille Ball style.
It took MGM's best hairdressers to help Lucille find the style that she would stick to for the next 20 years or so- flaming auburn hair, all swept up, with a curled fringe. After being so surprised and grateful for being filmed so beautifully in her first MGM's musical comedy, Du Barry was a Lady, the hairstyle became her signature!

Desi, Lucille and their Calf
A friend gave us 2 calves. One died, the other was very sick, and Lucy and I stayed up all night long with her. She had a high fever and we held her, wrapped up in blankets, and gave her the stuff the vet told us to give her. Finally, she got over the illness and lived. We both felt good and proud of our triumph to have this beautiful little white-and-black calf we called The Duchess of Devonshire live through the efforts of our nursing. Eventually, she got to be 2200 pounds. She fell in love with me and would come to our bedroom window in the middle of the night and moo, moo, moo. Lucy would wake up and say, "there's your goddamn girlfriend trying to get into the bedroom. You better go do something before she comes right through the window."

I know that you guys cannot click copy and paste and save pictures from Instagram, and I wanna share pictures of Lucille Ball (and Desi Arnaz) with you guys, especially when Instagram edits such beautiful pictures.
So, I'll try to upload the pictures onto this blog whenever I can.
Enjoy!

Please do me a favor and become a follower of @WELOVELUCILLEBALL. It's not for my sake but I want more people to know how awesome Lucy (and Desi) was. You and I know that she certainly could act just as well (or even better than) many of the revered actresses from Old Hollywood. She was her best at every film; she even delivered an acid line fabulously!
Some of the pictures are really rare, and here is one example of what I call a rare photo:

Rare Picture Of Lucille Ball
Do you know?
Lucy won the best dressed actress award when she was only a small fry during 1930s (before she met Desi Arnaz), it was the first time this award wasn't given to those famous leading ladies. Obviously, the award givers and audience had good taste!
