In 1956, when Cher was almost ten years old, Holt appeared in I Love Lucy. The episode follows Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred in Paris. Lucy and Ethel are enthralled by the avant-garde French fashion of designer Jacques Marcel. Ricky and Fred see it as ridiculous. Lucy pretends to go on a hunger strike until Ricky buys her a dress. He finds out she's only pretending and decides to play a trick on her.

Ricky and Fred make their own "fashionable" outfits out of potato sacks, a bucket and a horse's feedbag. Lucy and Ethel wear the outfits but are mortified when they find out they're not real.

The episode ends with the group seeing Jacques Marcel models wearing getups remarkably similar to the joke outfits Ricky and Fred made.

One of those models, wearing the high fashion version of burlap and a bucket, is Georgia Holt.
