LUCY, DESI LOOK-ALIKES WANTED FOR TV MOVIE

Lucy and Desi wannabees here's your chance. CBS says it's beginning a national search for an actor and actress to play the late comedians in a TV movie about the stars of "I Love Lucy."

The movie will be called "Lucy & Desi: Before the Laughter." It will dramatize the relationship of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz from the time they met in 1940 until just after the premiere of their series in 1951.

CBS said Tuesday it would hold open auditions for the title roles on July 16 in Los Angeles, in Miami on July 18, and in New York on July 20. - Associated Press
