TV GUIDE: LUCY’S EARLY DAYS

June 12, 1971 

Lucille Ball appeared on the cover of TV Guide (volume 19, no. 24) on June 12, 1971.  The cover drawing was by Al Parker.  The inside article was titled “Lucille Ball’s Early Days” by Dwight Whitney. 

The cover illustration of Lucille Ball is by Al Parker, one of the artists that founded the Famous Artists School in 1948.  The school was based in Westport, Connecticut, which was also where the Ricardos moved to in 1956 on “I Love Lucy.” Parker also contributed an illustration of Lucille Ball (inset) for the September 5, 1964 TV Guide cover.

The listing for “The Lucy Show” (here titled “Lucille Ball”) is a re-run of “Lucy the Stockholder” (TLS S3;E25) first aired on March 29, 1965.

That afternoon’s “I Love Lucy” was “Lucy’s Club Dance” (ILL S3;E25) first aired on April 12, 1954.
