31. Before acting, she modeled.
Before she became a well-known actress, Lucy worked as a model. In 1922, her modeling career became her focus as she attempted to break into the acting world. In 1928, she returned to New York as a model for fashion entrepreneur, Hattie Carnegie. Over the years, she was chosen for minor acting parts while she continued to model. That all changed in 1951 when she and her husband Desi Arnaz starred in the sitcom, I Love Lucy.
