Excellent book which chronicles the life of an American icon!
This biography of the iconic Vivian Vance is the life story of one of America's greatest legends who played the part of 'Ethel Mertz,' the best friend of Lucy Ricardo played by the incredible Lucille Ball. Vivian Vance's character was truly an invaluable component in the 'Lucy & Ethel' best friends team. The amazing truth is that this dynamic duo made it work and it was so real. Vivian Vance became the best friend that everyone would want. These two women's lives were so intertwined that even outside the years of production they remained close friends. After 'I Love Lucy,' Vivian co-starred in 'The Lucy Show.' Vivian continued to guest star on 'Here's Lucy' as well. Vivian had begun writing her autobiography and somehow just did not complete it. When the unfinished autobiography was found, it was completed by Frank Costelluccio and Alvin Walker whom I had the pleasure of meeting at a Lucille Ball Convention in Los Angeles. The book is remarkable and these 2 authors have researched Vivian's life thoroughly and have honored her memory in this tribute. I feel grateful to have met them. I also feel very fortunate to have traveled to the San Francisco Bay Area and across the Golden Gate Bridge to beautiful Belvedere to pay homage to Vivian while visiting her home.Read full review

The Queen of Second Bananas
This truly is the most thorough examination of the worlds most famous second banana, to date. "The Other Side of Ethel Mertz" offers many great details and insights into the life of the remarkable and very complex woman, who was known the world over mainly as "Ethel Mertz". Vivian Vance comes to life in this affectionate, yet honest account of her life. From her birth in Kansas, through her community theatre years, her stormy marriage, the 'Lucy' years, and even her fear of mental illness; Alvin Walker and Frank Castelluccio have created a very intimate portrait of the otherwise unknown life of a TV legend. This book is a must read!
