A decade and a half before she was "Lucy", Lucille Ball was a Beautiful model who was trying to make it in Hollywood. As 1939 rolled around, she was finding work but the thought of her becoming the most successful female star in Hollywood history seemed far fetched. Here she is one of the earliest images of Ball we have ever seen, dated 1939 and she looks absolutely stunning! Issued by the International News and titled "Pink for a Party" on the long paper caption on the back, this captures Lucy from the genesis of her storied career.
