Future TV star and producer Lucille Ball was born on this day in history, August 5, 1911, in Jamestown, New York. She would go on to make television history along with husband Desi Arnaz.
"It was immediately apparent this was a sitcom like no other." Ball bought out Arnaz and took over Desilu Productions, becoming the first woman to run a major television production studio. Erica Lamberg is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
The family moved around due to her father’s employment, and tragically, in 1915, Lucille Ball's father died from typhoid fever, said History.com.
