Lucille Ball
(1911-1989)

Born in Celeron, Chautauqua County, Lucille Ball left high school at the age of 15 and enrolled in a New York City drama school where she was repeatedly told she had no talent.







In 1986, Lucille Ball was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, and in 1989 she passed away. Her career spanned more than 50 years and, with her shows syndicated throughout the world, Lucille Ball will forever make us laugh.
