Book excerpt: Prior to achieving television stardom in 1951 as America¿s favorite redhead, Lucille Ball was a glamorous movie star, achieving a modicum of success in films throughout the 1940s. She was under contract to MGM, the most prestigious studio in Hollywood during the 1940s and it was then that a paper doll book starring her as a glamour girl was first published. Originally published in 1944, the Lucille Ball Paper Doll book has been republished as an officially authorized edition. Two charming dolls capture the star¿s personality (and hint at the beloved TV character that would emerge years later). Inside are eight pages of vintage 1940¿s fashions of the time, an entire wardrobe of broad-shouldered and smartly tailored daytime and eveningwear, including two costumes from the 1943 hit, ¿Du Barry Was a Lady.¿ This lavishly created paper doll book is a must for the legions of Lucy collectors and will also be treasured by movie buffs as well as those who appreciate vintage fashion history.
