" Stone Pillow" (1985) NR

The legendary Lucille Ball takes on a more somber role than usual as bag lady Florabelle in this heartwarming movie about hope and friendship. Florabelle becomes the unwitting guide to the streets for Carrie (Daphne Zuniga), a New York social worker who thinks she has lessons to offer the down-and-out clients she serves at the homeless shelter. Soon, however, Carrie realizes that she's the one who has much to learn.

An eye-opener type movie about homeless people living on the streets, and the problems and dangers they sometimes face. Lucille Ball was marvelous in this role of a bag lady.
