Page "Here's Lucy" Paragraph 6

During its run, Here's Lucy featured a number of famous guest stars, many of whom were Ball's real life friends, often playing themselves ( as had also been the case during the final three years of The Lucy Show ).

Among the stars, Ann-Margret, Milton Berle, Carol Burnett, George Burns, Johnny Carson, Petula Clark, Eva Gabor, Helen Hayes, Dean Martin, Eve McVeagh, Vincent Price, Tony Randall, Buddy Rich, Joan Rivers, Ginger Rogers, Dinah Shore, Danny Thomas, Lawrence Welk, Flip Wilson, Shelley Winters and Patty Andrews of The Andrews Sisters all appeared during the run of the show.

In addition, Lucille Ball appeared as herself ( in an episode in which Lucy Carter enters a Lucille Ball look-alike contest ; the episode, designed to cross-promote Ball's then current film Mame, featured then fairly new technology, enabling Ball to appear on screen with herself ).
