Lucille Ball's Step-Grandmother, Sophia S.

Lucille grew to greatly love her, remembering the lunches packed for her school day; and who was always there when Lucille needed someone. Lucille tried to get Grandma Peterson to move to California with the family; but, "failed in the effort,” is born in Sweden, this date in 1857.

Here are a couple of items from this date in 1936 and 1945:

 

 

LA Examiner, I Cover Hollywood, Lloyd Pantages: “When you see Lucille Ball do a succession of spills in Lily Pons' picture, That Girl From Paris, don't think she didn't suffer for her art. She took exactly 37 violent and resounding flops to the floor, and as a result was in bed for forty-eight hours straight,” published this date in 1936.

Hollywood Citizen News, Lowell E. Redelings: “20th Century Fox execs are dangling term deal before Lucille Ball but, chances are she will sign for two pictures, per year, at most,” published this date in 1945.
