When someone mentions the name Lucille Ball, most people picture the red-headed comedienne of the “I Love Lucy” sitcom in the 1950s. However, that was just part of her long, illustrious Hollywood career. Long before she and her real-life husband Desi Arnaz became one of television’s most beloved couples, she starred in many RKO films. Although now obscure, many of these are entertaining movies which gave Lucy a chance to showcase her dramatic acting skills.
