Listen "Ep 65: Lucille Ball in Beauty for the Asking (1939)"
Episode Synopsis
Before she became the first woman television mogul, Lucille Ball was queen of the 'B' pictures in RKO studio. Beauty for the Asking might have a low budget, but it carries a far more subversive message than many prestigious 'A' pictures. Loosely based on the life of Helena Rubenstein, it shows how Lucy moves from beauty operator to a business magnate once she invents a cold cream. Just imagine what The Women (1939) would have been like had Mary Haines and Crystal Allen joined forces and showed Stephen the door. That's what we find here in this little gem.
