CAROLE COOK

a tribute to the supporting cast of “Here’s Lucy”

Carole Cook played Thelma Green on “The Lucy Show” as well as a host of other characters. She was a protege of Lucille Ball’s during the Desilu Playhouse years. Although born as Mildred Cook, Ball suggested she take the name Carole, in honor of Lucy’s great friend, Carole Lombard. Cook appeared in five episodes of “Here’s Lucy” as various characters and sometimes was a ghost singer for Lucille Ball.
