Living History Portrayal of Lucille Ball by Leslie Goddard

In the 1950s, comedienne Lucille Ball captured the hearts of television audiences across the nation. But what does it means when a TV star’s onscreen legend clashes with her offscreen reality? This historical portrayal pays tribute to both the comic legend and the real woman behind the myth.
Enjoy dinner, drinks, and entertainment all while supporting the Museum.
