Lucille Ball became known as the clumsy, frazzle-brained red head who turned everything into comedic fiascos alongside her buddies and landlords Ethel and Fred, and husband Ricky.

But Ball was more than a household name and comedic legend. She was also a businesswoman who owned a film studio; she had a brief Broadway stint; and she was a tough lady who worked to save her crumbling, real-life marriage to co-star Desi Arnaz while the show was still on the air.

"How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we'd profit from them," Ball once joked.

The couple eventually divorced after 20 years of marriage.

The relationship of Ball and Arnaz glowed on screen, however, alongside their friends.

“The comedy that Lucy and Desi and Vivian and William created was just timeless,” said Susan Ewing, spokeswoman for the Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Center and Museum in Jamestown, N.Y. to the Chicago Sun-Times. “You can watch a ‘Lucy’ episode today and laugh out loud. There are sitcoms that are five years old and the comedy is already dated and not so funny anymore."

There are many facts about Ball that are not as well-known as her hit sitcom. Did you know that she auditioned for the role of Scarlett O'Hara in 'Gone with the Wind' wearing just a long sweater? And that she was 40 years old before she found stardom with "I Love Lucy?"Learn more little known Lucy facts here.

In honor of the show, the Library of Congress has a new exhibit "I Love Lucy: An American Legend." It's free and open to the public through Jan. 28. "I Love Lucy: An American Legend" explores the show’s history through the Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz family scrapbooks as well as photographs, scripts, printed and manuscript music and other documents from the Library of Congress, according to the website.

Ball was born in Jamestown, NY, and died on April 26, 1989 at 77.
