LUCILLE BALL


"I love Lucy" was one of my favourite TV programmes as a child. The brash, red-headed (you could tell even in black and white), mouthy, funny woman was one of my early role models, although you would never guess it when you meet the shy, retiring, shrinking violet that I am now. In 1960 funny women also had to be glamorous, and Lucille Ball was gorgeous. The photograph shows that, like me, she also did a spell as an exotic dancer.
