Lucille Desiree Ball was one of the most important female comedians in the United States, especially thanks to her successful work on radio and television.
Born on August 6, 1911, in Celeron, New York State, Lucille began acting in theater productions at a very young age. Moved to New York City, she studied Acting at the John Murray Anderson School of Drama and worked as a model and showgirl.
In 1929, young Lucy began working as a model and later began her career on Broadway by introducing herself as Dianne Belmont.
In the early 1930s, Lucy began acting in various small radio roles, due to her being hired by RKO Radio Pictures. In 1940 she was known as the Queen of Bs, since she had to her credit, a series of roles in class B movies.
