Joanne Perez, the widow of vaudeville performer Pepito the Spanish
Clown, cleaned out the area underneath her bed and discovered the only
existing copy of the pilot for the TV series I Love Lucy. Pepito had
coached Lucille Ball and had guest-starred in the pilot. Ball and her
husband, Desi Arnaz, had given it to Pepito as a gift in 1951 and it had
remained under the bed for thirty years.
