'Lucille' Chapter 3 -- “A Clown with Glamour” -- spotlights Ms. Ball’s arrival at RKO, and her family’s arrival in California. Lucille will befriend Ginger Rogers and, as significantly, Ginger’s mother, Lela, who will prove a great mentor. And Lucille will need it as she navigates both the studio and studio relationship with chief Pandro Berman. Sure, he’ll help her with her career, so long as it’s the best decision for Lucille AND RKO. Because, remember, “Sex whispers but money talks.” Between 1935 and 1937, Lucille appeared in eleven features plus a handful of shorts, including getting her first fan letter and first press specifically for her comedy. She also took an RKO leave of absence to appear in a Broadway play. That’s at work. At home? Grandpa Hunt’s health falters and he gets heavily involved with Socialism. Back in Hollywood from Broadway, Lucille co-starred in her biggest production to date … that looked like it might be her biggest production at all.
