Lucille Ball’s final film role is quite a gem in “Stone Pillow,” in which she plays a homeless woman living on the streets of New York City. Director George Schaefer and teleplay writer Rose Leiman Goldemberg put together this insightful made-for-television movie which gives Ball a chance to demonstrate her wide range as an actor. She is obviously known for comedy roles.
Co-stars include Daphne Zuniga, William Converse-Roberts, Stephen Lang, Susan Batson, Anna Maria Horsford, Stefan Schnabel, Rebecca Schull, and Imogene Bliss. “Stone Pillow” was actually shot on the streets of New York, where Lucy stated that no one recognized her while in character. It aired on CBS in November, 1985, her last movie appearance. She started in pictures in 1933 at 20th Century Fox.
