In 1929, Lucille Ball started her career in modeling and theater plus a few movie parts. Her universal fame was launched in 1951 when she and her husband Desi Arnaz began filming the half-hour show, “I Love Lucy.” She continued appearing in America’s living rooms in four TV program formats until 1974. This bronze statue of the beloved comedian was created in 1995 by Emmanuil and Janet Snitkovsky. The tribute is located at the intersection of Tahquitz Canyon Way and Palm Canyon Drive.
