I chose this specific image, because when I think about my first experience with I Love Lucy as a child I think of this episode. I'll be honest, I've never really watched much of this show, but I vividly remember her working in the candy factory trying to keep up with the machine, and the only way to do that was to eat the chocolate and put it in her hats and pockets. I got this image from www.memphisflyer.com. I also chose this image because of the celebrity status that Lucille Ball had. She was one of a few to be "cleared" from her registry in the communist party on the claim she did it to please her grandfather. I never knew any of this until doing the reading in the book. The book states that the claim was quickly forgotten. To me it seems that her overall celebrity status, and love from the people did something that very few people, no matter how loved they were could do; Clear their names from the communist claims. That to me signifies somebody who had a very positive effect on a large amount of people throughout the country.
