About Lucille Ball: The Queen of Comedy Is Born
On August 6, 1911, Lucille Ball was born in Jamestown, New York, and the world, though it didn't know it yet, had just been given one of the greatest comic gifts it would ever receive. She grew up to become the fiery redhead whose perfectly timed pratfalls, rubber face, and fearless physical comedy made I Love Lucy a global phenomenon. More than a performer, she was a trailblazer, co-founding Desilu Productions and proving that a woman could command a studio, a soundstage, and the entire viewing nation all at once.
