Vivian didn't do much for me. She was younger than Lucy, but (I believe) asked to gain weight and play an older woman. She was 22 years younger than William. She turned down an opportunity for a spin off with him because she didn't want to work with him.

Not real. Generated images from Deluxe Fuxley. The clipped note asking to "See if Bill Demarest is available" is reference to William Demarest replacing William Frawley on "My Three Sons".
