What Ever Happened to the Cast of I Love Lucy?

More than 60 years ago, Lucille Ball broke boundaries as the female lead of a now-iconic sitcom. Find out what happened to the cast of 'I Love Lucy' after the series finale in 1957.

Born in 1911, Lucille Ball began her career as a model in the late 1920s, eventually going on to perform on Broadway and as a chorus girl in films before meeting Arnaz and co-creating I Love Lucy. Instead, he served for more than two years as part of United Service Organization (USO) programs at the Birmingham General Army Hospital in the San Fernando Valley, where he entertained injured soldiers. The series followed Ball as Lucy Ricardo, a middle-class housewife in New York City, who found herself mired in schemes and hijinks — often attempting to rub shoulders with the show business types who ran in the same circles as her husband, Ricky (played by Arnaz).
