In 1933, Lucille Ball made her film debut via an uncredited role in the movie, The Bowery. From here she followed up her acting work with further uncredited appearances in films such as Broadway Thru a KeyholeBlood Money, and Roman Scandals.

To begin with, her on-screen roles were small parts, which is true of any actor in show business, but soon her star status began to grow as audiences took the actor to their hearts. This in turn increased her presence on the big screen, and propelled her career toward the icon she would eventually become.

But how familiar are you with Lucille Ball’s back catalogue of movies? If you were asked to name them all what would you say?

Well, don’t worry, because I can help. In this post you will find a list of all Lucille Ball’s movies, presented in chronological order, starting with minor roles and bit parts in her early pictures, and running through to more substantial roles in later life.

This list covers all the films in her career, from 1933 to 1985.
