The I Love Lucy Cameo
Jerry Mathers made an appearance in an I Love Lucy episode entitled Ricky’s Old Girlfriend. He sat on Lucy’s lap while she dreamt that her husband left her for one of his ex-ladies, Carlota Romero.

In the dream, the two beg for money outside a movie theater, and then Ricky and Carlota drop coins in their cups. Although Mathers appeared in the scene, it was an uncredited role. Perhaps that’s why many people don’t know about his little cameo. Plus, the episode aired in 1953; the episode debuted four years before Leave It to Beaver came out.
