38. Lucy had both of her children later in life
Another accomplishment Lucille achieved later in life was becoming a mother. She and her husband, Desi Arnaz, are rumored to have had somewhat of a rough time carrying a child to term. Lucy is said to have suffered multiple miscarriages which were, understandably, hard on her. You can imagine the excitement when Lucy gave birth to her first child in 1951, a girl that she named Lucie. More excitement came in 1953, when she gave birth to her son Desi Jr. At the time she had her first child, Lucy was 40 and she was almost 42 when she gave birth the second time. Her pregnancy with Desi Jr. later ended up being beneficial to her career in a way that no one expected.
