I Love Lucy

Today is the 100th birthday of Lucille Ball.  I think it is amazing to think that she started her successful TV show at the age of 40.  I still love watching I Love Lucy reruns.

She was one of the first female television executives.  With her husband Desi, she pioneered the 3 camera set up that still dominates most television production.

Yet, despite her TV success, Ball first tried to concur movies.  She never quite hit the young ingenue, but it kept her career afloat until she met Desi Arnaz and found success in TV.
