Pink 1980’s Reebok sneakers worn by Lucille Ball in the Life With Lucy episode, “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.” In this eleventh and unaired episode, Lucy Barker comes up with a unique gimmick in hopes of bringing more customers to the hardware store.
The sneakers were altered by the prop department, placing a grommet in the heel to run a rope through, which makes the mallet hit the drum whenever she lifts and puts down her foot.
An original 1954 fashion sketch of Lucille Ball by designer, Elois Jenssen. This vibrant illustration depicts a white, sweetheart bodice, chiffon evening gown draped in tulle, complete with kelly green necklace and earrings.
The costume sketch was produced for Lucy’s appearance at the Hollywood premiere of Judy Garland’s brilliant film, A Star is Born, that took place on October 16, 1954. Desi and Lucy were an astounding looking couple that night!
As one who held onto many things in her life, years later, Lucy wore the same jewelry set on a few episodes of Here’s Lucy.
