A comedienne, actress, model, and studio executive, Ball had one of the longest careers in Hollywood. She was the star of many sitcoms, most famously, I Love Lucy (1951-1957). Ball and her husband, Desi Arnaz, co-owned the production company, Desilu Productions. After their divorce in 1960, Ball bought Arnaz out of the company and became the first woman to run a major television studio. After selling the company in 1967 (after which it became known as Paramount Television), she continued to act in film and television for the rest of her life. Lucille Ball died on 26 April 1989. -- source link
