Lucille Ball had one brother, named Frederick Henry Ball, born in 1915, when she was four years old. She did not have a sister (her father died before Fred was born), but her cousin, Cleo, was as close, if not closer than any sister could have been. Cleo Mandicos was the daughter of Lola Hunt and George Mandicos. Lola Hunt was the sister of Lucille's mother, Desiree "DeDe" Hunt, and George Mandicos was the son of Greek immigrants.

Hunt, while their own mother, DeDe, worked
