In the early 70s, I watched I Love Lucy reruns in the afternoons after my parents' divorce. Thrown into a new school, a not unfamiliar situation for many kids of the time, I found comfort in these reruns. These shows had a huge influence on my sense of humor. In a time of shifting seas, when real adult weren't always dependable, Lucy and Ethel were. Thank you!

Vivian Vance and Lucille Ball were fantastic together! They both made the show unforgettable...my favorite episode was the show featuring Lucy working at a candy factory on the conveyor belt, it was definitely one of her best! 😅

​@@FactsVerseVIDEO REQUEST: Facts About The Untold Story And Truth of Kenneth Tobey And Simon Oakland. Born in Oakland, California, Kenneth Tobey was headed for a law career when he first dabbled in acting at the University of California Little Theater. That experience led to a year and a half of study at New York's Neighborhood Playhouse, where his classmates included Gregory Peck, Eli Wallach and Tony Randall. Throughout the 1940s Tobey acted on Broadway and in stock; he made his film debut in a 1943 short, "The Man on the Ferry." He made his Hollywood film bow in a Hopalong Cassidy Western, and has since appeared in scores of features and on numerous TV series. He even had his own series, Whirlybirds (1957), in which he played an adventurous helicopter pilot. And One of the movies' most memorable tough guys, Simon Oakland actually began his career as a concert violinist, turning to acting in the late 1940s. After a long string of roles in Broadway hits, including "Light Up the Sky," "The Shrike" and "Inherit the Wind," Oakland made his film debut as the tough but compassionate journalist who speaks up for Susan Hayward's "Barbara Graham" in I Want to Live! (1958). He would go on to play a long series of tough guy types, albeit usually on the right side of the law, in such films as The Sand Pebbles (1966), Tony Rome (1967), Psycho (1960), and, most notably, nasty Lieutenant Schrank in West Side Story (1961). He was also a frequently seen face on TV, at one point serving as a regular or semi-regular on four different series at once. Much respected by his co-workers as a total professional, he died, after a long battle with cancer, one day after his 68th birthday.

I believe you missed something about Ball and Vance's working relationship. From the start; Lucy that Vivian Vance was too young to play the part. It was Desi and the other producer who helped to convince Ball. Some of the other reasons was hair color and Vance's size. Ball didn't want Vance to overshadow her, but Vance helped to convince Ball by changing her hair color, and telling Ball she would look a lot bigger on TV. It was all this; plus Vance's showbiz professionalism, that convinced Ball to allow her to take the role in the first place. It's also very well known; that Vance said out loud, that Frawley was too old, saying she didn't like working with "That Old Man'. Frawley overheard this, and the feud began.

@LJ-ht4zs

Again another misunderstanding about Vance looking older and dowdier than Lucy was off - her character on I Love Lucy was being the wife of William Frawley - 22 years her senior. They were supposed to be lower income and a generation older than the Ricardos - if Vance dressed equally to Ball and acted as if she was the same age (she was only 2 years older) it would have thrown the dynamic off. I consider the two couples:The Fabulous Four making I Love Lucy a super hit from 1951 to date.

It was Lucys show. She was the star an the rest complimented her. Great casting an unforgettable comedic talent on everyone’s part.

Ricky put Lucy on an allowance. To cut back on expenses, she decided she would do her own hair-perms and make her own clothes. When she cut out the dress pattern on the floor, she cut the carpet as well. And her hair-perm looked like Little Orphan Annie. Lucy was/is so funny!

Vivian was the perfect actress to play opposite Lucille Ball. She was as funny as Lucy. One of my favorite episodes was when Lucy bought a wig and tried to disguise herself to see if Ricky flirted with her. Then Lucy had an idea to meet with Ricky and continue with the charade. Ricky said he was bringing his friend with him to the restaurant and they knew it was Fred so Ethel decided to contact her friend to get a costume to wear and the only one her friend had was a Geisha, Eskimo, Indian costume.

The ep where the gang went to Albuquerque to see Ethel Mae's father was exceptional and very funny.

You forgot to mention that Vivian Vance & Lucille Ball were best friends in real life. In fact, Lucille Ball & Vivian Vance were together for a while just prior to & at the time of Ms. Vance's death. I believe Ms. Vance died from cancer. I know this because once when Ms. Ball was a guest on the "Tonight Show" ( after the death of Vivian Vance), Ms. Ball herself stated she stayed with her "dear friend", Vivian Vance for a while just before Ms. Vance died.

Two corrections: While preparing for the filming of each episode was difficult because Lucy demanded perfection (Because she expected it of herself, as well) but the overall shooting schedule was not hectic or overly stressful. They performed the taped episode on Thursday, which meant that they had a three day weekend each week. Second, Frawley and Vance did not BOTH reject the idea of a Fred and Ethel spin-off. Frawley was gung ho for the idea, but Vance flat out rejected it, because she did not want to work with him again. This further angered Frawley, and put an additional in the nail on the coffin that was their personal relationship

I think my fvorite moment of Vivian Vance was where the ladies allowances were discussed, and Lucy is very sad when Ricky gives her only a hundred dollars. however Vivian Vance killed me with her remark, "you're lucky Lucy, that's all Fred has spent on our whole marriage!" I laughed so hard I nearly pee'd myself. my other favorite episeode is of coarse the all time chocolate factory scene.

Some interesting facts and theories, for sure. Wondering if the inner turmoil Vance seemed to continuously face helped shorten her life, because of the mind-body connection. After Vance left the Lucy Show, I think that began to spell the long decline in the quality of Lucy's remaining tv seasons, although bringing Lucie to the new Here's Lucy helped bump it up for a while.BTW, my favorite episode of ILL, which I recently found on Paramount+, is The Mr. and Mrs. Breakfast TV show. Among its gems is Vance and Frawley singing the Phipps Department store jingle....twice! :-D

I can imagine working with someone like Lucy who was "all her all the time." I love them both, though.

Vivian Vance rest in peace

I never saw a tremendous contrast between the Ethel Mertz character and Vivian Bagley other than her dressing better and being allowed to be her age. Other than that, her chemistry and delivery with Lucille Ball was essentially the same. I did read that Vivian complained that much of her dialogue on I LOVE LUCY sounded a bit "butch," which may have been why she asked to have Vivian Bagley seem more "feminine."

I saw a tabloid telling of how Lucy and Vivian had a gay relationship under wraps so anything's possible beyond many expectations.

Very intriguing! Thank you so much for sharing this info. Be safe and have a great evening 💗💗

I appreciated this video but as someone who has read practically every book about "I Love Lucy" I feel some clarifications are necessary. First, Lucille Ball strongly opposed Vivian Vance as Ethel Mertz, but Desi Arnaz firmly requested that Lucy give her a chance. Lucy gradually accepted her as Vivian proved her talent. With regard to Vivian Vance and her costar William Frawley, it was Vivian who initiated the bad relationship when Bill Frawley overheard her saying that no one would believe that she was married to that "old coot". Frawley replied with words that I shall not mention here! However, when the Fred and Ethel Mertz spinoff series was proposed, Frawley agreed because he would have received a lot of money. It was Vivian who vehemently opposed the idea and refused to participate. The two television icons never spoke to each other again.

Favorite was all 4 driving to Calif, got stuck in a horrendous motel & every time the train near the motel went by, all the furniture moved. And poor Ethel was brushing her teeth while a train went by & came out with toothpaste all over her face!

From the episodes I've seen on re-runs and streaming platforms, I thought VF was a great actress. I liked her more than LB. Also liked the actor that played Fred Mertz more than Desi Arnaz, although DA was a very talented band leader. I know LB is considered a comedic genius as mentioned in this video. I did love LG's facial expressions and reactions. I remember the candy episode. Did not know about VF's marriages. Sad. Glad her last marriage was a happy one.

Umm...those weren't laugh tracks....the show was shot on film before a live audience.

Yes, yes to your trite questions about Vivian Vance, but a big NO to the part that you have wrong. Lucille did not favor Vivian in the role of Ethel Mertz. She had initially desired the role to go to actress and friend Barbara Pepper but CBS rejected that suggestion in that Barbara was known to cause filming delays due to her drinking at the time.. Lucy secondarily desired actress Bea Bernadette to play the role. But Bea's contract to play Blanche opposite Gracie Allen on the Burns and Allen Show was Ironclad. I believe it was Jess Oppenheimer who pointed out Vivian Vance to Desi Arnaz while she was starring in an Off-Broadway production at the time. The two gentlemen journeyed out of New York City to see her perform and were so taken with her performance that Desi immediately offered her a contract. While Lucille had to approve and first right of refusal if the person hired to play Ethel were not to her liking. Desi convinced Vivian that would not be a problem. He would be able to convince Lucille that Vance was the perfect person. So it was he not Lucille who originally believed Vivian would be perfection in the role. However, after Lucille saw Vivian perform it was a rather easy task to convince her she was indeed the right person. But those are the ACTUAL facts.

@@lishamarlar4597 maybe your right. I do know that Ethel didn't like the way she had to dress for the part Grimy

The concept that Vivian Vance needed to be in therapy every morning in order to perform with Lucille Ball was not correct. At this time she was married to a man who was abusive and caused her to be depressed. Vance had a history emotional distress and had been hospitalized early in her life. Also, she had four husbands, the last marriage being the best, but this husband was a homosexual.

Also, Lucy was extremely supportive of Vivian emotionally.

But I did get to watch The Lucy Show

Well there were rumors of Vance had to be more heavy and not too pretty over Lucy ,,,

I never got to watch I Love Lucy

Where do you get the nonsense that she insisted Vivian be Ethel?! She wanted Barbara Pepper or Bea Bernaderet! Facts Verse get your FACTS right!!!

I recently watched a roast for Lucille Ball. She wasn’t well liked. Gale Gordon, her costar on the Lucy show, said that Vivian was a better actress. He said little else. Vivian herself said very little to Lucy. No love lost there. I had a friend that worked for American Airlines. Lucille was banned from flying with them. Got too buzzed and combative onboard. No thanks Red. Fly other unfriendly skies.

This documentary is stupid. Filled with unverifiable information. Nothing new there
