TV MOVIE TO FEATURE BALL AS A BAG LADY

In one of her rare dramatic appearances, Lucille Ball is cast as an elderly New York City shopping bag lady in “Stone Pillow,” a new TV movie which CBS has scheduled for airing Nov. 5 (9-11 p.m.).

That will put Lucy opposite part II of ABC’s 12-hour miniseries, “North and South,” which kicks off Nov.3. “North and South” is based on the John Jakes book set in pre-Civil War times.
