Yeah, that's a famous picture of Lucille Ball being spanked by Lionel Barrymore at somebody's costume party. It serves to confirm that Lucy was truly "into" spanking.
In her TV series "I Love Lucy," Lucille Ball was spanked on screen FOUR (4!) times by her then husband, Desi Arnaz. It is well known that she and Desi were the power behind the show, meaning that if she appeared on camera getting spanked, it is because she okayed it.
In the years just before "I Love Lucy," she was in a radio show called "My Favorite Husband," pairing her with Richard Denning as the husband. There have been numerous reports of a photo still for that show, with Lucille Ball being spanked by Denning. I've never seen that photo, but I have no doubt that it exists, or did.
In the 1970s Lucille Ball starred in a new series, "Here's Lucy," and in that show her real-life daughter Lucie Arnaz was spanked by guest star Andy Griffith. Again, since Lucille Ball was the power behind "Here's Lucy," a case can be made that the spanking scene was encouraged by Ms. Ball.
Cheers,
