In this entry, I'd like to spotlight a few of my favorite actors from my favorite classes TV shows and their life before and after the fame. Before briefing on their life after television, I plan to introduce them, talking about the roles they played. In a previous post, I created a list of my top ten favorite shows, and these actors will be from that list.
Lucille Ball starred as Lucy Ricardo on the classics TV show I Love Lucy. Born in 1911, Lucy 
was famous for her red hair. She met her husband, Desi Arnaz, in 1940, and the two were wed in 1951. Ball and Arnaz starred together in Ball's first TV show, I Love Lucy, where they played the role of husband and wife. 179 episodes were produced from 1951-1957, as the show later became known as The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour.
Ball and Arnaz divorced in 1960, putting an end to the usual I Love Lucy. Ball returned to television in 1962, but without her ex-husband. A replacement was brought in to represent Arnaz, but the show would only last until 1968.
After the ending of I Love Lucy, the show took a few different names, finally excusing Ball from the spotlight in 1974. Lucille Ball died at the age of 77, on April 26, 1989.

The replacment For Arnaz was horrible. Arnaz was a great actor and brought a new element to the show.
I'm glad to see someone else enjoys I Love Lucy. She was a classic of "almost" Three Stooges crazy acting comedy. My daughter who is now in college loved Lucy shows when she was at home.
Also - Fred and Ethel were an important part of the situations on the show.
