The photo above was taken in 1941 when she was something of a movie star. That was a full decade before she would become the world's most famous redhead on the "I Love Lucy" show that continues to be a part of our lives in reruns and on DVD nearly 60 years since its debut!

Because we loved her so much when she was alive and because we have continued to love her long after she left us, I wanted to do this special birthday post to Miss Ball who was born on August 6, 1911 in Jamestown, New York.

Here are a few of my favorite clips from "I Love Lucy"

1. Lucy dances with Van Johnson

2. I Love Lucy- The Maharincess

3. I Love Lucy- Friendship Rehearsal
