COMMEDIAN RED HEADS
LUCILLE BALL was American TV's most popular comedienne for over a decade, beloved for her blazing red hair and slapstick situation comedy gags. Lucille Ball starred in five different TV shows during her career; the original, I Love Lucy (1951-57), became one of the great TV landmarks of the 1950s. The show was consistently ranked #1 in the ratings and continued in reruns for decades. A 34-cent U.S. postage stamp honoring Ball was unveiled in August of 2001.
From 1967 to 1978 CAROL BURNETT hosted one of the most popular shows on television, The Carol Burnett Show. A "variety hour" that was mostly comedy, the show featured the redheaded and rubber-faced Burnett in slapstick skits and movie parodies with regular cast members Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, Lyle Waggoner and Tim Conway. Burnett tugged her ear at the end of every episode as a silent greeting to her grandmother.
WHO SAID: “Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the 'Titanic' who waved off the dessert cart?”
