I Love Lucy: The Hedda Hopper Story (1955)
Charlie Pomerantz (Hy Averback), press agent for Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz), arranges a publicity stunt whereby Ricky will "rescue" a supposedly drowning woman from the pool of the Beverly Palms Hotel. This act of courage is sure to win Ricky a mention in the newspaper column of influential gossip diva Hedda Hopper. Chosen to appear as the "drowning victim," Lucy (Lucille Ball) keeps a sharp eye peeled for Hedda's arrival at the pool, making certain to look for the woman wearing the most outrageous hat.
