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. Lucille Ball was also the first woman to run a major studio, which is just one of the many firsts for women she achieved as a pioneer in the industry.
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.
But we also know that she was funny, and it would be difficult to reference her Lucy does a TV commercial and Candy Factory from Job Switching (from 1952) when reflecting on some TV humor.
We know that she was fearless, a little weird and quotable.
We know that she had a keen eye for business... a typical jack-of-all trades.
We know a lot about her...
But who was Lucille Ball, really?
Who were her siblings, how did she grow up?
How did she start her career?
How did she get to the pinnacle of acting in America?
How was her love life?
What were her greatest fears?
How did she die?
These are some of the most pertinent questions everyone who knew Ball has been having, and I bet you've got a few as well.
But guess what?
