VIVIAN VANCE
Vivian Vance signs a ontract with William Morris from 1958-1961.
Partly Printed Document Signed: "Vivian Vance", 2p, 8½x13½. Beverly Hills, California, 1958 August 11. Vance's three year "exclusive agency contract" with the William Morris Agency. Stage and screen actress Vivian Vance (1909-1979) is best known for her role as Ethel Mertz on the I Love Lucy TV series (1951-1961, during the term of this contract). At the time she signed this contract, Vance was married (1941-1959) to actor Philip Ober, whom Lucille Ball once accused of physically abusing Vance. Vance, who had been discovered by Desi Arnaz, didn't want the part of Ethel, saying that the role was "too frumpy", and she hated being cast opposite William Frawley (Vance was 39 and Frawley was 64 at the time they were cast and the two never got along). In 1955, Vance also appeared in Shower of Stars (May 1955) and she appeared on The Bob Hope Show (October 1956), The I Love Lucy Christmas Special (1956) and in The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, a one-hour sequel to the TV series. File and staple holes at top margin. Paper loss at upper margin. Fine condition.
