Lucille Ball.

Fun Facts

She was not a natural redhead

During the 1933 filming of Roman Scandals, young Lucille Ball, portraying a slave girl, needed to have her eyebrows entirely shaved off. They never grew back.

Lucy and Desi Arnaz began I Love Lucy show in 1951 in the hopes of saving their crumbling marriage. It did until their divorce in 1960. The day after I Love Lucy’s final taping, Lucy filed for divorce from Desi Arnaz.

Lucy went to audition for a school of the performing arts and was kicked out because she “didn’t have any talent”

For many years, Lucy (born 1911) hid the fact that she was six years older than hubby Desi (born 1917). They split the difference in years and claimed both were born in 1914.
