Ms. Ball is dead now. If you mean while I Love Lucy was in production ... No. By today's standard's she was not fat. However, Lucy was so obsessed with her weight at that time that she insisted Vivian Vance (who played Ethel) have a clause in her contract requiring her to weigh substantially more than Lucy. If Lucy had gained weight, Ethel would have been required to gain weight also.
