Commercial Mold Remediation in Jamestown Gets Professional Help from SERVPRO

One of the best-known people to hail from Jamestown was the actress Lucille Ball, born in 1911. The family moved to Michigan and New Jersey as her father got transferred with his company. However, when Lucy was three years old, her father died of typhoid fever at age 27, and her mother returned with Lucy and her brother to Jamestown to be near family. 

Lucy took acting lessons at the same drama school attended by Bette Davis and later found minor success as a minor character in a string of movies. Her big break came when she won a role in the musical film, ‘Too Many Girls,’ where she also met the man who would become her future husband, Desi Arnaz, who played one of her character's bodyguards in the movie. In 1948, Lucy was asked to develop a ditzy housewife character she portrayed on a radio show into a television show. She came up with her most famous show, ‘I Love Lucy.’ She made a difference throughout her career, notably: 

• Ball became the first woman to run a production company in 1960
• She overruled the board and greenlighted the filming of a proposed series, ‘Star Trek’
• ‘I Love Lucy' was the first TV show to be shot on 35 mm film in front of a studio audience

When Lucy passed away in 1989, she was cremated and initially buried in the Hollywood Hills cemetery. In 2002, her children had her urn moved to the family plot in Jamestown by her mother and grandmother.

Visiting the Lucy and Desi Museum in Jamestown

The "first couple of comedy" has its dedicated museum in Jamestown. The attraction is open seven days a week and honors Lucy and Desi's legacy behind with their original comedy. There are replicas of sets from the ‘I Love Lucy’ show, Ball's various awards, along with costumes worn by both Lucy and Desi. The museum also features rare memorabilia and much more. 

Lucy gets remembered on her birthday every year in Jamestown with a gathering of fans. On  August 6, 2011, which would have been Lucy's 100th birthday, nearly 1000 Lucille Ball lookalikes gathered to set a Guinness World Record for the most lookalikes in one place at a single time.
