Georgia Holt appears on I Love Lucy and even those who are aware of the identity of pop superstar Cher’s mother may have missed her. The classic CBS sitcom I Love Lucy had many celebrity guest stars. Rock Hudson, Harpo Marx, and John Wayne all took time out of their impressive and busy careers to appear on the show, a testament to its ubiquity and wide appreciation. Throughout I Love Lucy’s six seasons, it was inevitable that there would also be appearances by actors who were not famous yet, but would one day find stardom.
So, when Georgia Holt appeared on screen in an episode of I Love Lucy, most fans would not have thought twice about the actor. Holt may be best known at this point as Cher’s mother. Cher, the movie star, pop star, and world-famous entertainer, has a mom who was also a talented performer before she passed. Holt married seven times but had Cher with her first husband, John Sarkisian (via People). It took Holt longer than it did her daughter to find success and I Love Lucy was one of her earlier roles before entering the mainstream.
