All tickets to the concert were sold within an hour of their availability. The program of the historic concert, which took place on Wednesday evening, May 31, 1972, did not include any of the coloratura arias which Pons sang in her prime, but did include ones more suited to her range at age 74. As she often did in earlier concerts, she included “Estrellita” among the songs in her program, and received a prolonged ovation after the concluding note. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Radio,_television,_and_film"><span id="Radio.2C_television.2C_and_film"></span>Radio, television, and film</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lily_Pons&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Radio, television, and film"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>She starred in three RKO films: <i><a href="/wiki/I_Dream_Too_Much_(1935_film)" title="I Dream Too Much (1935 film)">I Dream Too Much</a></i> (1935) with <a href="/wiki/Henry_Fonda" title="Henry Fonda">Henry Fonda</a>, <i><a href="/wiki/That_Girl_from_Paris" title="That Girl from Paris">That Girl from Paris</a></i> (1936), and <i><a href="/wiki/Hitting_a_New_High" title="Hitting a New High">Hitting a New High</a></i> (1937).
