I thought some of you would enjoy this 5 minute interview of Lucy and Vivian from The Dinah Shore Show.

Yes, this is fun segment and something I'm glad is on tape. The "contract" she is reading was given to Vivian by Lucy as a gag at a surprise birthday party Lucy gave her years before. It is the source of the urban legend that Vivian's contract stipulate that she be 15 pounds overweight (Vivian did gain a little over the first couple seasons, but then lost weight over the course of the show and was rather slim in the final seasons). That urban legend won't die, and I still see documentaries reporting it as if it's true. So it seems Lucy's image has forever been punished only because she had a sense of humor.

I came across this on You Tube a while back. It was a very sweet and endearing segment. I miss them both.
