Lucille Ball

In the seventh episode of season 19 of 5 Minute Biographies, we celebrate the life of Lucille Ball, the comedic genius who revolutionised television and became one of the most beloved entertainers of all time. Best known for I Love Lucy, she broke barriers as both a performer and a pioneering businesswoman in the entertainment industry. With her impeccable timing, fearless physical comedy, and sharp wit, she captivated audiences for decades. Beyond her on-screen success, she was also the first woman to run a major television studio.
