While a number of actors usually play characters a few years younger than their real age, Lucille Ball was actually on a whole other level. I Love Lucy’s main characters were supposed to be a young couple named Lucy and Ricky, who just started their life together as a married couple.

Moreover, Lucille and Desi had already been married for 10 years too.
