Magster: Can you please tell me from what source of research you found this information? I'd like to research it a bit more for addition to the chronology. This is an important piece of information which must be part of it. Thanks....JK

Joyce, Pauline Lopus tells the story in Lucy & Desi: A Home Movie, and in her autobiography Lucy herself writes, "...DeDe sent me to the best photographer in Jamestown, T. Henry Black. It was Mr. Black who was quoted as saying, 'It's very difficult to get a satisfactory picture of Miss Ball because the lady is just not photogenic!'" (p. 30) The pictures Lucy references are from when she was in the Miss Celeron bathing beauty contest as a teenager.

 

Hope that helps! :)
