Lucy on Inside USA with Chevrolet (1949!)


Recommended Posts

This was a Holy Grail type of thing for me: Lucy's 1949 appearance on Inside USA with Chevrolet. This is Lucy's earliest TV appearance that I know still exists. (Does anyone know if Lucy's guest shot on Texaco Star Theatre a few months earlier still exists?) This is especially notable because this marked the first meeting between Lucy and Mary Wickes.

 

This comes from the website of the Peabody Awards, which has quite a few programs in their collection. This appears to be the only Lucy program available.

Lucy makes her first appearance 18 minutes in.

WOW.  What a fantastic find.  Lucy looks to be having a blast and is super adorable.  And FUNNY.  You can see why this medium was such a good fit for her.  I love the part with Mary.  If only they knew what what was ahead of them and how good of friends they would become.
