I Burn Lucy?

There’s no denying that ‘I Love Lucy’ was one of the best shows right out the gate when television started to become a mainstream household item back in the 1950’s. Lucille Ball was a fan favorite and her quick wit and charm dazzled audiences from across the country. In this peculiar picture, she is seen posing as her nose catches on fire. This was part of a skit, and the image has become a prominent pop culture moment.
