Lucille Ball
Spouse(s)	Desi Arnaz, Gary Morton

Lucille Désirée Ball (August 6, 1911 – April 26, 1989) was an iconic American actress, comedian and star of the landmark sitcom I Love Lucy, a four time Emmy Award winner (awarded 1953, 1956, 1967, 1968) and charter member of the Television Hall of Fame. A 'B-grade' movie star and "glamour girl" of the 1930s and 1940s, she later achieved tremendous success as a television actress. She received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1986. Ball, known as the "Queen of Comedy," was also responsible with her then-husband, Desi Arnaz, for the foundation of Desilu Studios, a pioneering studio in American television production in the 1950s and 60s.

Miscellaneous

This article contains a list of miscellaneous information. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections or articles.

Her cousin, Suzan Ball (wife of actor Richard Long), was an actress for several years, before dying of cancer, aged 21.
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz founded Desilu Productions, making her one of the few women in history (along with Oprah Winfrey) to own and run her own TV production company.
After the demise of Desilu, she also founded Lucille Ball Productions in 1968.
There is a Lucy-Desi Museum honoring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in Jamestown, New York, which has festivals twice a year to celebrate the legends. There are also Lucille Ball museums located in the Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Florida theme parks.
In the summer of 2005, Lucille Ball was voted America's most beloved deceased star.
With the near-constant re-running of I Love Lucy, Lucille Ball is probably the most-watched comedian in American television history.
The film Rat Race (2001) includes, as one of its comic themes, a coach load of Lucille Ball look-alikes on their way to a convention.
Though she had long since died, the "character" of Lucille Ball appeared during the eleventh season of the television series The Simpsons, in the episode "Little Big Mom". In the episode Homer and Bart Simpson are watching I Love Lucy on television and you can hear Lucy give her trademark cry, after which you then hear an impersonation of Fred Mertz saying, "I think you hit her pretty hard there, Ric". This causes the spirit of Lucille Ball to appear to Lisa Simpson upstairs, in which Lucy introduces herself by using all of the last names from her past television series.
Her real hair color was brown.
From 1955 until her death in 1989, Lucille Ball lived at 1000 North Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills. The Georgian style brick home was next door to the homes of James Stewart and Jack Benny. Other neighbors on Roxbury Drive included Rosemary Clooney and Ira Gershwin.
According to The Lucy Book by Geoffrey Mark Fidelman, Lucy was taping a special episode of Super Password with Betty White the day Desi died.
