I've never seen this mentioned in any of the "Lucy" literature - why doesn't Vivian Vance appear in the classic "Vitameatavegamin" episode? Her partner in crime when she rigs the TV set is Fred, who normally wouldn't go in for such shenanigans.
shareI've read that Vivian's second husband (to whom she was married while doing ILL) would beat up on her.
Perhaps at the time of the filming of that episode, she was so battered that no makeup could conceal it, and so had to be dropped.
Thank goodness, there are laws today dealing with domestic abuse!
That's so sad. I think she would have nailed this episode.
sharethe good ole days when females could take a punch.
shareOr maybe that was when see went to Minnesota to get her Gall Bladder out.
sharewhile we are on the topic, what was in that bottle, she is pouring something out of the bottle, Id say it looks like honey.

I've heard there was supposedly a deleted scene at the end of the episode where Ethel shows up and tries to comfort Lucy who's suffering from a raging hangover. And Ethel (apparently not knowing about what had happened) offers her a bottle of Vitameatavegamin.
