In August 2023, Melody Thomas Scott visited Jamestown, New York, so she could attend a benefit fundraiser for the Lucille Ball Little Theater. As a die-hard fan of "I Love Lucy" and Lucille Ball herself, Scott wanted to honor Ball's legacy in the entertainment industry, and there was no better place to do it than the icon's hometown. During the benefit, Scott looked back at Ball's career and the theater's significance.
That's not the only honor that was bestowed during the event. Scott's career was also highlighted, including some of her roles as a child actor, until her long-running role as Nikki Newman on "The Young and the Restless." After discussing her career, Scott was in for a surprise. The mayor of Jamestown announced that August 15, 2023 — the day the event was held — would forever be known as "Melody Thomas Scott Day." "Y&R" fans, be sure to mark your calendars for next year's celebration.
