In an 5 page letter to a friend dated May 20, 1954, Lucille sits down to answer her friends' unanswered correspondence attempting to catch her up on all that has been going on. Of the the events of New Year's Eve 1953, Lucille had this to say: "We went to Mary and Jack Bennyβs house. Biggest event of the evening was when Gracie Allen βtold offβ Dinah Shore. Jane Wyman got drunk and decided to divorce Freddie Karger for the eighth time. Some blue-jeaned crasher at the party stole some minks. Some of the guests thought he was part of the party and he was even offered drinks. Havenβt seen Jack and Mary since. And that was New Yearβs Eve in Palm Springs!β #lucilleball #jackbenny #desiarnaz #dinahshore #janewyman #gracieallen #newyearseveparty #partycrashers #newyearseve #minks #letters https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcECaSFBXR/?igshid=1og4ceq1wz9m9
