Lucille Ball
Lucille Ball is famous around the world for her ditzy, loud-mouthed housewife in the beloved 1950s show “I Love Lucy.” Lucille was, however, much more than what she displayed on television.
In the mid-1940s, Lucille Ball was a popular radio and later television comedian who became involved in comedy; she started her own production company with Desi Arnaz, which produced “I Love Lucy.” After decades of bringing brilliant smiles and laughter into American living rooms, Lucille Ball died of a ruptured aorta on April 26, 1989, at 77 years old.
