Lucille Ball Biography The Tumultuous Life Of The Legendary Comedian From I Love Lucy Relationships Rumors And More

Lucille Ball has inspired and paved the way for many women in the modern comedy; including Ellen DeGeneres, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and others. Lucille was one of the first women to run her own production company (Lucille Ball Productions - it came from Desilu Productions). Back in the days interracial dating was still taboo, yet Lucille Ball dated and married the Cuban-born actor, musician, and television producer Desi Arnaz. Lucille Ball was one of the first actresses to work on TV productions while being pregnant. Lucy's pregnancy would imply that sexual intercourse took place between husband and wife. During this era, it would have been offensive to have husband and wife even sleep in the same bed. It's insane. She went even further where Lucy gave birth to her son, Desi Jr. in the episode, “Lucy Goes to The Hospital” - this became a significant part of the American culture, and the episodes concerning Lucy's pregnancy reflected this. More people watched “I Love Lucy” that night than saw Eisenhower’s inauguration as President of the United States. Lucille Ball was not a typical housewife as you probably guessed. Historically speaking, she is the first woman in comedy, in every sense of the word. There were no other women in comedy before her. Lucille created this emerging trend to help other women get involved with comedy. At least the perception of it was still taboo. In this short biography, you are going to gain more insights of who Lucille Ball really was. The woman behind the legendary love story of television's most famous couple: Lucy and Desi. You'll also learn more about her personal life with Desi Arnaz, Gary Morton and her children. Lucille Ball was a very gifted performer and comedian. Nothing she did could ever match the enormity of "I Love Lucy." She left a legacy in a time when there was still so much laughter yet to come.

You Are About To Uncover Everything There Is To Know About Lucille Ball The TV Star Who Revolutionized Many Things! On August 6, 1911, Durrell Ball and Desiree Hunt welcomed a star, whose antics would begin as soon as she was able to stand on her two feet. Before long, her mother was already thinking of ways to tame her worrisome frolics- at one instance, she made a deal with a local butcher and her daughter: She could run to the butcher's shop, climb onto the counter and perform to her "fans" with song and dance. At least with that, she could stop making sudden disappearances. Lucille Ball wasn't your average child, teen, woman, mother... she was different. Decades after her death, it's still difficult to forget the first pregnant woman to play a pregnant woman on TV.

Lucy, as most of us know her from "I Love Lucy", the classic sitcom, was a meticulous star as it were. That's why it's still difficult to miss her shows on the likes of Hulu, Amazon, CBS and Hallmark.
