On This Day - August 6th 1911

American actress and comedienne, Lucille Ball, is born. 

Lucille Désirée Ball was born in Jamestown, New York, on 6 August 1911. At the age of fourteen, she enrolled in the John Murray Anderson School for the Dramatic Arts, where after just a few weeks, she was told she was too shy and had no future as a performer. Ball persisted with her dream, and in 1930 she gained success as a fashion model for designer Hattie Carnegie and as the Chesterfield cigarettes girl. Three years later she moved to Hollywood, gaining many small film parts, but no real fame.

Ball's fame in 'I Love Lucy' came about as a result of her being cast in a CBS radio programme. The programme was 'My Favourite Husband', and she was cast as wacky wife Liz Cugat, later Liz Cooper. The program's subsequent success resulted in its development as a television program, which eventually became 'I Love Lucy'. Lucille Ball died on 26 April 1989.
