Lucille Ball was most commonly known as that “wacky redhead”, but she actually had some blonde moments as well.

 Lucille started her career as hat model and later as a glamorous Goldwyn girl and was known for her beautiful hair, often dying her naturally brunette hair to platinum blonde. Her trademark red hair came years later and yes, it was a dye job.

And behind the scenes, Lucille was anything but wacky. She was one of the most powerful women in television and definitely a force to be reckoned with. While she was best known as the accident prone housewife on  the 1950’s sitcom “I Love Lucy”, Ball actually had a long and successful career in the movies  for  2 decades before that, co- starring with actors like Bob Hope and William Holden .

She died in 1989, but make no mistake about it: Lucille Ball was a legend even in her own time.
