Lucille Balland Vivian Vance met when their legendary sitcom began, and a lifelong friendship was born.
“As far as I was concerned, it was Kismet,” she wrote (viaShowbiz CheatSheet).
“Viv and I were extraordinarily compatible.
“I decided to divorce Desi.
“We sat side by side, putting on our makeup.
It should be…' And I gave her my interpretation.”
Vance then asked why she hadn’t mentioned this before.
“‘Well … we weren’t speaking, and I’d be damned if I’d tell you!’
“We could never stay cross with each other for very long.”
After that, Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance’s friendship remained strong for nearly another two decades.
“It was an amazing thing to witness.
They ate lunch and they talked and talked.
Viv knew she was dying.”
Peterson then relayed what she saw when Ball left.
“The pain on her face shook me to my core.
She was in tears.
She couldn’t speak.
I think Viv gave up after that.”
Vance died only a few days later, on Aug. 17, 1979.
It quickly became an Amazon Prime hit.
Vivian is saying, ‘You have to let me be me, even a little bit.
I’m losing it.’
It’s all coming from love.”
