Who Was Lucille Ball?
Short Summary

Americans in the 1950s fell in love with Lucille Ball, star of the hit sitcom I Love Lucy. Born in New York in 1911, Lucille was always a natural performer. She danced in the chorus of Broadway shows and acted in small parts in Hollywood movies. But her true gift was comedy.



Ball found a way to showcase her gifts in 1951 when CBS gave her the chance to star in a new comedy series. She based the show on her life, and decades later, it is still one of the most loved television shows of all time.
