Most people young and old know who Lucille Ball is. The red-headed actress was one of comedy's most beloved stars. According to Turner Classic Movies , Ball did not think she was a natural talent. She couldn't dance or sing and lacked "flair," so she developed other strengths that made her stand out. And stand out she did, particularly when it came to slapstick humor and her natural ability to make people laugh.

Ball also broke a lot of ground when it came to television programming.
