| Red(head) scare? |

quoting the "Lucille Ball" wiki-entry (see this link for the footnotes):
Testimony Before the House Committee on Un-American Activities
In 1953, (Lucille) Ball was subpoenaed by the House Committee on Un-American Activities because she had registered to vote in the Communist party primary election in 1936 at her socialist grandfather's insistence (per FBI FOIA-released documents in a declassified FBI file).[42] Immediately before the filming of episode 68 ("The Girls Go Into Business") of I Love Lucy, Desi Arnaz, instead of his usual audience warm-up, told the audience about Lucy and her grandfather. Arnaz quipped: "The only thing red about Lucy is her hair, and even that's not legitimate." Then, he presented his wife and she received a standing ovation from the audience [16]
not a real red-head?... well, what do you think she *used* to make it so damn red then?
