Lucille Ball's House (Former)

Actress, comedienne and TV producer lived in this mansion on 1000 North Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills from 1954 until her death in 1989. She purchased this two-story colonial house with husband Desi Arnaz in 1954. The couple lived here while producing and starring in I Love Lucy until 1957 and The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour until 1960, the year they divorced. Lucy retained the house while she continued in television with The Lucy Show from 1962 to 1966 and Here's Lucy from 1968 to 1974. Ball used to personally hand out candy to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. Her neighbors were actor James Stewart and comedian Jack Benny. After her death the house was sold and extensively renovated by it's current owners.
