The Back of Cathy's Head-From the Side - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Madame X · 10-18-2009, 12:28 AM

Rita Walter caught from the side, rather than from behind. Oops! Cathy's voice was overdubbed. I wonder why they left it like this.
The episode is "The Elopement."

Remember, this was the pre-DVR era so maybe they figured you had to be watching the right spot at the right time to see the error. And even if you did see it you had no way to rewind it and watch it again.

Just a thought.

You're right! We can dissect every frame with modern technology. I have found hundreds of interesting things in I Love Lucy that the producers never had to worry about the audience seeing.

They probably never even imagined the technology that we have today.

I just watched this episode and I noticed that Rita made another non-back-of-the-head appearance. She was standing in line to get a marriage license.

Yes, she was used as an extra when not standing in as Patty or Cathy.

I know. I was just pointing out one of her appearances in case anyone was curious.

Do you recall the episode where Rita had a speaking line?

I didn't realize that Rita had a speaking part! I'll have to watch for that. I only have season 1 so far, and have no opportunity to see the next two seasons until they come out on DVD. Do you know which episode or season that might be in?

Madame X · 10-20-2009, 01:48 PM

Randy-

Is this the shot you are referring to? Is she the one in plaid? Now I'll keep an eye out for her.

When I learned who Lucy's double was on "I Love Lucy," she became easy to spot as an extra, and I was surprised how often they used her.

Maybe it's the same for Rita.

If I'm remembering correctly, it's toward the end of season One. The episode Chip Off the Old Block.

There's another scene in the third season where Rita doesn't have a speaking part, but she walks into the shake shop as one of Patty's friends.

That's her!

Rita does make quite a few background appearances.

It is ironic that the closing credits list all of the teens that played Patty's and Cathy's friends, but they never credit Rita even though she was in every episode!

Cheryl Harrell · 10-22-2009, 01:15 AM

Also Cissy (Sissy? Unsure which way to spell it) from Family Affair (Kathy Garver) was in some eps as one of the teenagers...

Here are the accidental face exposures and on screen appearences I found. Incicently I've heard different named given for Patty Duke's double
