Do You Love Lucy? Share Memories on Her 100th Birthday

If you know what that means, then you know Lucy, you are probably a boomer, and you have seen genius.

Lucille Ball was born Aug. 6, 1911, which means that Saturday the late actress would have turned 100. The marquee female comedienne of the 20th century, Lucy was a TV star, notably with "I Love Lucy" with then-husband Desi Arnaz, but she also played alongside some giants in the movie industry, including Henry Fonda, Bob Hope, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers, the Marx Brothers, and The Three Stooges.

She also appeared on television programs tailor-made for her, "The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy," and memorably told Dick Cavett that some recent dental work allowed her to pull in a local radio station.

TV Guide voted her as the Greatest TV Star of All Time. In 2007, she was voted second to Johnny Carson among the 50 Greatest TV Icons, though she was selected No. 1 in a poll of the public.

She died from a dissecting aortic aneurysm on April 26, 1989. She was 77.

MeTV will show 100 episodes of Lucy's various television shows beginning tonight at midnight and continuing through Monday.

The Hollywood Museum will have a special Lucy exhibit through Nov. 30.

Lucy also gets special treatment from Google on Saturday.
