Five months pregnant, Lucy stepped before the live TV cameras at Studio A at CBS headquarters on Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street on March 2, 1951, to do the “audition film.”
This pilot resurfaced in 1990 in the possession of Pepito the Spanish Clown’s widow, Joanne Perez, and was made into a television special. Lucille Ball biographer Bart Andrews labeled it one of the biggest archival finds in television history.
