Lucille Ball

Lucille Ball   August 6, 1911 --  April 26, 1989

Happy 100th birthday, Lucille Ball -- I won't add "wherever you are," because you're everywhere. Somewhere in the world someone is watching you do that thing you did, or someone soon will be. It doesn't feel even mildly controversial to call you the most important woman in the history of television comedy -- meaning no disrespect to Carol Burnett, Tina Fey and Mary Tyler Moore -- or television, period. Among the stars of TV's golden age, only Jackie Gleason in his Ralph Kramden suit rivals you for iconic weight.
