LUCY'S X-RATED SECRET LIFE!

TV’s favorite housewife worked as a prostitute!

SITCOM icon Lucille Ball became America’s beloved funny girl playing a ditzy, goody-two-shoes housewife on TV’s I Love Lucy, but her early life was sordid and scandalous — a new book claims she was a gangster’s moll, nude model and worked as a New York hooker!

What’s more, Lucy got her big break in Hollywood on the casting couch of Columbia’s lecherous studio boss Harry Cohn, according to the book Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz: They Weren’t Lucy & Ricky Ricardo by Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince.
