Rare Vintage Photos of Sitcom Starlets from the 1960s

Already one of television’s biggest stars, Lucille Ball successfully reinvented herself for a new decade with The Lucy Show. Her fearless physical comedy, expressive reactions, and endless knack for chaos helped keep her at the center of American television throughout the 1960s.

Ball continued her success with later sitcoms, television specials, and major behind-the-scenes influence in Hollywood. While audiences would always connect her with I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show proved she could remain one of television’s most popular and recognizable comedic stars well into a new era.
