Description

Fans and admirers of superstar Lucille Ball are invited into an insider's album of a time as meaningful to the beloved actress as it was to the people of Jamestown, New York. Lucy Comes Home uncovers the local media extravaganza surrounding Lucy's homecoming celebration, her historic first return since her meteoric rise to fame, accompanied by husband Desi Arnaz. Organised around the premiere of their MGM movie, Forever, Darling, Lucy and Desi attended a host of media events in this whirlwind homecoming tour, and OIsen has carefully collected and curated the photographs and narratives surrounding this momentous occasion. Featuring more than 100 archival photographs, this sensational visit of the hometown girl offers a previously unpublished view of an intimate yet very public episode of Lucy's life, which she considered "one of the best days of [her] life." Olsen's connection to all things Lucy has its origins with his mother, then Janice Swanson, who was Lucy's 'Homecoming Queen' during the visit. He calls the book a love letter to both his mother and Lucy.
