Ethel dispised Lucy, Desi and the old guy who played her husband, she felt she was vastly underpaid...But she stuck it out!
Look where she is today...Dead...But famous!
Did you know that CBS once considered doing a "Fred & Ethel" spin-off series, but Vivian Vance refused to sign up to work full time with William Frawley "for any amount of money"? She called him "that square-headed, drunken Irish slob," and he called her "that no-talent, fat-ass bag of bones."
But they still showed up to work on time on "I Love Lucy!"
