Summary: I am Lucille Ball is a biography of the life of Lucille Ball. Lucille knew she was a performer from the very first time she stepped on a stage. She used her humor to solve problems and never gave up on her dreams. Lucille was born in Jamestown, New York in 1911. After going to school for dramatic arts, she married Desi Arraz. The TV network began to produce a hit TV show, I Love Lucy, in 1951. Her comedy was real, effortless, everything but "proper." By 1952 Lucille won the first Emmy for Best Comedienne. She believed that humor can take on anything and that people need to believe in themselves. I loved the cartoon illustrations with unique expressions. The pages were full of color and captivating illustrations with bubble texts for subset information. A quote from the one and only: "Love yourself first and everything falls into line." -Lucille Ball
