Ball, Lucille (1911-1989). Comedienne. The famous red-head started slowly in show business, beginning with numerous bit parts as the feminine counterpart to the likes of Bob Hope and Red Skelton. After marrying bandleader Desi Arnaz, the couple created one of the most endeared comedy shows in television history: "I Love Lucy".
Autograph Note Signed ("Lucy"). Two pages, oblong duodecimo, n.p., n.d. Being a thank you card. In blue ink. To Mr. Kevin Gentry of Torrance, California. Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope. The notecard is folded affecting the sweeping loop of the "y" in Lucy. Else, the piece is in very fine condition.
As the envelope of this note is postmarked February 14, 1989, here Lucy writes a cordial note in response to a traditional Valentine's gift: "Thank you for your beautiful flowers -- you are always so thoughtful".
