302 Four Studios in Two Years

<p>Chapter 2 spotlights Lucille Ball’s arrival in Hollywood where she’ll make ‘Roman Scandals’ as well as about 20 more projects for Sam Goldwyn, Darryl Zanuck, and Harry Cohn ... before arriving at RKO. And, in that time, she focused on three things:  sponging info, meeting people, and establishing a good reputation.  Lucille Ball may have not finished High School but she was getting the education of a lifetime.  All the while she’s putting some of her paycheck away each week so she can get her family out west with her:  mother DeDe, grandpa Hunt (who she called Daddy), brother Fred, and cousin-cum-sister Cleo.  An embellished story or not, it’s been told often:  at the same time Lucille called her mother to say she was finally ready for them to come out? She lost her job.  Well, the family should come anyway but “take the bus instead of the train!”  Please chime in here and/or on Instagram @fromoutofthepastpodcast with your questions &amp; comments, or just sharing your love of Lucille Ball and her road to ‘I Love Lucy!’  Thanks for listening ...</p>
