- Description
- When "I Love Lucy" debuted on October 15, 1951, the show became an instant sensation, defining the situation comedy format, attracting thousands of viewers to television for the first time and turning its unlikely star, Lucille Ball, into a legend. This program revisits the life of Lucille Ball -- the first female television superstar and first solo female head of a major studio. With exclusive interviews from Carol Burnett, Fran Drescher, family members and friends, this program also showcases the most extensive set of film clips from the comedienne's life, thanks to an unprecedented arrangement between American Masters, CBS and the estate of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.
