2. LUCILLE BALL
Pioneering, peerless, and putty-faced pretty, Ball was TV's first great female comedian, a world-class physical comic. I Love Lucy's genius premise was that housewife Lucy Ricardo yearned to be the very sort of star Ball became in real life. From a score of classic scenes, we give the nod to Lucy trying to do a TV ad for Vitameatavegamin, a health concoction laced with alcohol that leaves her tongue thick and her head too woozy to pronounce the product's name properly.
