From where should I get a postmark for the above future maximum card?
Jamestown, New York State, because that's where she was born?
New York City, because that's where this skyscraper big advertisement was, when I photographed it during my anno domini 2000 visit to NYC - World Trade Center and more?
Los Angeles, CA, because that's where she died?
Hollywood, CA, because that's where she built her artistic legacy?
Beverly Hills, CA, because that's where she must have stayed a lot?
Body-sculpting.
Compare Lucille Ball, in the previous image, with Audrey Hepburn, another lovely, classy film icon.
Audrey was much skinnier, so she compensated that by STANCE, POSTURING. :)
Audrey in bikini, staying straight-up, normally, would have been a less glamorous image, perhaps.

Wow, these are stunning postcards. I really like the Audrey Hepburn one.
Everybody loves Lucy.
Great. Great Lucille Ball, I Love Lucy was a favourite of my. Lucille 100 reminds me how old I am.
That explains why I've been having so many hits on my Lucille Ball card the last few days! Not a patch on yours though.
i did not know Lucy won so many awards. Alll deserved - she is still so funny.
Thanks for participating!
That's a tough question on where to get your postmark. I guess I would lean toward Hollywood more. Thanks for sharing everything!
And I Love Lucy still showing on satellite channels, that is certainly longevity.
