What About Vivian and Bill???? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What about Vivian and Bill? Did they ever had kids? Did Frawley ever have a wife? Does Vivian have any home videos? DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM??

We all really need to sit back and go into detail about Viv and Bill. I mean, this is just ridiculous. This is the I LOVE LUCY message board family! SO it's only right that Viv and Bill have people snooping into their historic business also. LETS START!

Well, you can read their biogs courtesy of the Lucy Library here - Vivian Vance and William Frawley

There are also some books available. The Other Side of Ethel Mertz: The Life Story of Vivian Vance by Frank Castelluccio, Alvin Walker, which has a great cover -

and Meet the Mertzes: The Life Stories of I Love Lucy's Other Couple by Rob Edelman, which has a not so great cover -

I guess that means there's plenty of information around.

Neither Vivian Vance or William Frawely had children. Viv was married four times, and Bill was married once, which ended in divorce. He never married again and his opinion of women was hardened after that, so I've read.

They never had any children?? Thats sad, and thats also scary. How is that even possible? They both lived full lives and never had any children. That is really scary for some reason.

Alot of people don't have kids and live full lives. I don't understand what you mean by scary.

I dun't get it, what's so scary about not wanting kids. I went to the mall today and this little brat was screaming his bloody head off and i was kinda happy i never had one. I've been a big brother for years and when you get fed up, you send them home, LOL!

That's what my Mother says about Grandkids!

SPLAIN · 09-07-2003, 09:08 PM

Well, she's right, she's already suffered through one generation, so now it's her turn to spoil them and let the parents have the problems, LOL!

Mkaleek · 09-07-2003, 11:48 PM

I guess you're right. I don't know, it's just that one would naturally think that they had kids, at least to carry on the tradition. I mean, here you have Lucie and Desi Jr. representing their parents on a personal level, a level that you never got to see of Viv and Bill. It's like they're not even importan anymore, you know? Thats what I mean by scary. Haunting.

SPLAIN · 09-08-2003, 09:33 AM

No what's HAUNTING ME right now is the thought of a little Freddie in the world! LOL! Probably it would be the only child to get slapped by the doctor at his birth and hit him back!

Mkaleek · 09-08-2003, 02:59 PM

HAHAAHAHAHAHAH. Thats very true. I wonder what it would be like to have a Vivian Vance Jr. in this world today. I think she would have gotten much more recognition than she is getting now. I LOVE VIVIAN VANCE/ETHEL MERTZ.

My mom says the exact same thing! I swear she is not the same woman who raised me!lol

They say we would feel really differently about our parents if we had seen them younger, and not the pains they turned out to be raising us, it would be something to go back in time and see them fun loving and full of life when they were very young.
