This book had so much useless information I could barely get through it. What a waste of paper! I have loved watching the Mertzes on I Love Lucy, so I bought this book to learn a bit more about them. Well, with the info that is in the book, that task could have been accomplished in 10 pages. Instead there is a lot of useless, BORING, information that no one cares about. Furthermore, It paints such ugly pictures of both of those people. I am sorry I every bought this rag. If you love Lucy & the Mertzes, you will honor them by NOT purchasing this book!

Great book for all I Love Lucy fans. These are 2 people you can't find on the biography website. Enjoyed the book very much. I Love Lucy would have not been the same without Fred and Ethyl. No one could have played the parts as well as William Frawley and Vivian Vance. A must read book.

THIS BOOK IS AN EXCELLENT LOOK AT BILL FRAWLEY AND VIVIAN VANCE WHO PLAYED 2 OF THE MOST BELOVED CHARACTERS IN TV HISTORY. IT PROVIDES A LOOK AT THE HUMAN SIDE OF THIS ACTOR AND ACTRESS WHO PLAYED FRED AND ETHEL. I FOUND THIS BOOK HARD TO PUT DOWN FOR IT COVERED SO MUCH DETAIL AND FACTS ABOUT BILL, VIV, AND THE SHOW. THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING, HONEST, AND FACTUAL ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE AND CAREER OF THE TWO VERY TALENTED PEOPLE WHO MADE THERE PLACE IN TV HISTORY. I HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS FOR ANYONE WHO WAS A FAN OF I LOVE LUCY, THE LUCY SHOW, OR MY THREE SONS. A MUST READ.

This is a must-have and a must-buy for any "I Love Lucy" fan or if you simply are just a fan of Vivian Vance or William Frawley. Here is the true story of both stars in their beginnings. How they almost did not and eventually were destined to be "The Mertzes" for nine years. Here you will read Vivian Vance's and William Frawley's individual stories. Also what happened to one another after "I Love Lucy" (1951-1957)/ "The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Comedy Hour" (1957-1960) came to an end.
Every movie, every television episode and work Vivian Vance did before she died is here. The same for William Frawley.
Also read the story of when Lucille Ball saw Vivian Vance for the last time when Viv was sick.
Also read when William Frawley worked with Lucille Ball one last time as a guest on "The Lucy Show" in 1965. Five months later he unexpectedly passed away after he collapsed (a heart attack) near Hollywood & Vine St.
Note: William Frawley's son, James Frawley became a director for "The Monkees" tv series.

For all my life I have loved I Love Lucy, and always have been fascinated by Vivian Vance and William Frawley, the actors who played Fred and Ethel Mertz. What about their childhoods? How did they get into show biz? What did they do before being cast on I Love Lucy? What happened to them after they left the show? Well, this book told me everything I wanted to know about Viv and Bill-- and then some. It is well written and well researched, and filled with great interviews with those who knew and workled with Viv and Bill. Such a pleasure to read!
With all the books and information available on Lucy and Desi, it is great to see one finally written on Viv and Bill!
