"Illustrated with hundreds of Lucille Ball collectibles, plus stills from her unforgettable TV series, and packed with trivia about every movie and TV show she appeared in, this volume celebrates that blue-eyed redhead we all know and love as Lucy. Over the course of her fifty-year career, Lucille Ball appeared in eighty movies and starred in five television series. Now her legions of fans can revel in a book devoted to all the memorabilia her extraordinary popularity has generated.

From the thirty-six TV Guide covers on which she appeared (more than anyone else) to Dixie-cup lids, from "I Love Lucy" pajamas to Little Ricky dolls, from board games to paper dolls, from vintage movie posters to Lucite paint ads, from Belgian cigar bands to collector's plates, more than 600 items are reproduced, most in full color.".

"Author Ric Wyman, who has been collecting Lucy memorabilia for a decade, also provides a complete filmography and exhaustive radio and television credits, including the title of every episode of every series Lucy starred in and the date it first aired."--BOOK JACKET.
