In addition, Michael Stern will be signing his book “I Had A Ball,” of which Lucie Arnaz says, “Michael’s memories are my memories, only clearer. What a talent for details! It was very moving for me to relive so much of our lives through Michael’s eyes.. And, more importantly, true.” Lucy enthusiasts will also enjoy a collector’s corner with variety of classic Lucy memorabilia for sale.

The Lucy Day at The Hollywood Museum marks the second special event celebrating the Special Exhibit, “Lucille Ball at 100 & ‘I Love Lucy’ at 60,” which will be on display through December, showcasing memorabilia saluting the careers and romance of Hollywood’s most famous lovebirds.

“The Hollywood Museum in the Historic Max Factor Building is the perfect venue for this exhibit because it’s where Max Factor gave Lucille Ball her famous red hair,” says Museum President Donelle Dadigan. “The ‘RED HEADS ONLY’ Room has been carefully preserved in her memory today. The museum’s historic connection to Lucy is the reason the U.S. Postal Service chose to unveil its official Lucille Ball commemorative stamp here in 2001.” The Hollywood Museum is located 1660 N. Highland Ave, Hollywood, CA.
