Frawley was supposedly interested despite everything, but Vance said hell no because she hated his guts.

I must respectfully disagree. While this doc did a good cover of his early years and passion for entertaining, it oversold how "beloved" William Frawley was by the public. He was disagreeable and unsociable off stage. And the AI mispronounced very key names. Does no one edit anymore?

[@alienhuman]

As an outsider to the show, Fred is my favorite 2nd banana of all shows in the 50’s. When he got the M3S gig I was so happy. I think his relationship with VV made that show what it is today. Likewise I think booze was the elixir that made Fred the fine curmudgeon he always played. Thanks, Mr. Fred!

[@dupont416]

I doubt Vance attended his funeral. As for him being “fired,” he was removed from the show, but it had nothing to do with drinking. He failed the Desilu physical, which meant the studio couldn’t insure him if he would’ve been too ill to continue his role. They hated to let him go. As for Desi Armaz being a director, that wasn’t until the last season of their one-hour shows (1959-60).

[@leasaswartz6879]

That’s not what I read. I even heard Lucy during an interview that it was his alcohol abuse. They made sure he was taken care of financially/per Lucy.

[@Juliet475]

The alcohol caused his physical problems. Even Desi wrote about it. Despite not showing up for rehearsal he knew his lines and performed well.

[@RayPointerChannel]

William Frawley remained with the I Love Lucy shows and hour shows. It was when MY THREE SONS moved to CBS in 1965 that he was replaced by William Demorest due to insurance complications with Frawley.

[@LindaHull-le1st]

Thank you for posting that. I didn't know about his bad health.

[@sardu55]

Frawley was let go for health reasons (which affected his performance) not from I Love Lucy but from 'My Three Sons' in 1965. He had played 'Bub' on it for 5 seasons. He wasn't given a physical per se but an examination as a preliminary checkup for insurance. Studios had rules for insuring actors that are in place to cover the owners financially in case an actor has to leave for health reasons, and the check helps specify what those would be. Frawley was having issues remembering his lines and physically moving around the set. But what killed it was his inability to interact with the other actors. The owners of the series ordered him to take daily blood pressure readings to monitor him because they thought he was going to drop dead at any time. His bp was very high. Letting him go was a simple matter for the owners; they just stopped writing him into the episodes. Frawley showed up each Monday morning to work but had no lines. No one bothered to tell him he'd been canned. Nice way to treat a guy. Finally, Fred MacMurray took him aside and told him, diplomatically, that he'd been replaced. MacMurray ensured Frawley was paid thru the end of the season, per his contract. So, at least he was a good guy. Finally, just for the record, if an actor failed a 'for performance contracts' physical the actor had to be released as that situation made it difficult for the producers to get general production insurance, meaning that if the show was taken down by some health-related situation, they would be liable for any contract driven money/costs. Although most weren't happy about it, Frawley being removed was the right thing to do, as he died only months later. But, as Desi Arnaz said, 'it would have been nice if they had let him ride off into the sunset in the saddle'.

[@TonyFnt]

Stanley Livingston developed a deep bond With castmate William Frawley, during his time on My Three Sons as Bub. The unlikely duo spent a lot of time together both on and off the set.

[@keithhoward4768]

He wasn’t fired for drinking from My Three Sons it was because he had a bad heart and couldn’t get insurance

[@aprilhuffstutler1419]

Once again, for the last time, there is absolutely no evidence anywhere that she was at his funeral. I've read numerous books on Lucille Ball, I Love Lucy, DesiLu, and many biographies. And there is not one mention of her attending. She hated him, which is why she refused to be on the Lucy Show when he made his last TV appearance there. She lived on the East Coast and would not have flown out just for that. Even the old newsreel of his funeral has no mention or picture of her being there. Most of these "surprise" videos are produced with no fact checking. It's just to get you to click on it, unfortunately.

[@mdstudio-gp1yp]

I agree with most of what you wrote. However, Vance didn't refuse to be on that fourth season episode of The Lucy Show. She left the show at the end of season three and moved East. Vance appeared in one fifth season episode and two sixth season ones. In season four, Ball was trying to find a new second banana (Ann Sothern as the Countess) because Vance wasn't coming back as a regular. Frawley's appearance was just a cameo that wasn't even specifically written for him.

[@Biggbarr]

@@mdstudio-gp1yp Actually, he was invited back by Lucy, mainly because Vance would not be there. She knew Vance would not do a scene with him, and this was basically a last goodbye for him. And yes, I knew she was moving back east permanently because she had been living there for some time and the weekly commute was wearing on her. And I loved the times she came back to visit Lucy.

[@cjc4765]

Al Jolson's signature song "My Mammy" was written for Frawley, but Jolson made it his own. He played Jolson's manager in "Rose of Washington Square" with Tyrone Power and Alice Fay. He also made a forgotten gem which you can watch on KZbin free "Harmony Lane" a biography of the "Father" of American music,Stephen Foster. Frawley played the great minstrel man, E.P. Christy. Another coincidence is that Al Jolson also played E.P. Christy in the movie "Swanee River" with Don Ameche. Then again,another coincidence. The song Swanee written by none other than George Gershwin, (lyrics by Irving Caesar) was recorded by Jolson who heard it at a party and brought it into one of his plays t the Winter Garden NYC. It was the biggest selling song in Gershwin's career,earning him enough money to do what he needed to do to get him to his next level, but he never earned more from any other of his compositions (The power of Jolson). No Swanee, then most likely we would have never heard of Gershwin. "Swanee", not to be confused with Fosters, "Way Down Upon the Swanee River" (Old Folks at Home). My 2 cents.
