Most definitely VIViAN VANCE!. She paved the way for future supporting actresses!

FYI, Vivian Vance was also a supporting actress on the hit 60's sitcom, The Lucy Show, in the years 1962 to 1965.

Lucy Fan, I am definitely aware of Vivian Vance work on the various Lucy shows.

But have you seen pictures of her from the 1940s?

She was very beautiful!

I'm talking Greta Garbo and Betty Davis type beauty. I bet she would have been a huge movie star if she had concentrated on film rather than television.

She certainly had the looks and the talent to be a great success, but to be a huge star it also requires a great deal of luck as well.

She initially turned down the role on I love Lucy, but Desi was finally able to pursuade her into taking the job. The rest of course is history.
