Lucille Ball

Lucille was booted out of New York’s John Murray Anderson School for the Dramatic Arts for being too scared to perform. After that, she kept going back and forth New York as a fashion model and actress, getting fired from at least two stage productions.
She went to Hollywood, got a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, but her best efforts got her only in B-movies.
Eventually, she found her way into radio then television, a new entertainment medium back in the 1940s and 1950s.
She and her husband Desi Arnaz launched the “I Love Lucy” show on CBS, which went on to become one of the longest-running TV shows in history, and making her a famous comedienne.
