In 1954, Ball and Arnaz commissioned Paul R. Frequent visitors to Palm Springs since the early 1940s, Ball and Arnaz often stayed at the Racquet Club and were already becoming part of the desert community. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, as Lucy and Ricky, the stars of the show, were just as enchanted by Palm Springs and the surrounding desert cities offscreen as on. Lucy and Ethel lounge by the pool and are starstruck by Rock Hudson, who orchestrates an adorable reunion of the two couples. In a 1955 episode of I Love Lucy, the most popular show in the United States at the time, Lucy and her best friend, Ethel, head to Palm Springs after they get into a quarrel with their husbands, Ricky and Fred.
