Tomorrow marks what would have been Lucille Ball’s 100th birthday. The beloved star of I Love Lucy, born in 1911, had one of the longest Hollywood careers. She was an amazing film, television, stage and radio actress, model, film, and television executive as well. Ball received many awards and recognitions, including 13 Emmy nominations (4 of them being wins) and some posthumously such as The Presidential Medal of Freedom by George H. W. Bush and The Women’s International Center’s Living Legacy Award. There is a Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center museum in Lucy’s hometown of Jamestown, New York.The Little Theatre was renamed the Lucille Ball Little Theatre in her honor. Ball was among Time magazine’s 100 Most Important People of the Century. The public has chosen her as the greatest icon. Here are some of her famous quotes:

“Ever since we said “I Do” there are so many things we don’t.”

“I may not be able to understand what you say when you say it, but before you say it, I can understand what you’re going to say perfectly.”

 “I didn’t tell a soul, and they all promised to keep it a secret.” 

 RICKY : “There you go again; wanting something that you haven’t got.”
LUCY : “I do not. I just want to see what it is that I haven’t got that I don’t want.”

Happy Birthday!
