Photo: CBS	Vivian Vance played Ethel to Ball's Lucy with such perfection that they have become one of pop culture's leading examples of female friendship. When Lucy went to work in the candy factory, Ethel was by her side. But their alliance was usually against their husband. Vance actually 25 years younger than her TV husband, Fred Mertz, played by William Frawley. When they first started filming I Love Lucy, she was 39 and he was 64.
