Lucyilove Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Sorry if this subject has been mentioned before or is common knowledge but does anyone know the story behind Vivian Vance's one episode appearance on HOLLYWOOD SQUARES in 1967? She was on Monday and then replaced for the rest of the week by Deborah Walley. I don't believe I've heard of that ever happening before on one of the game shows where the "celebrity" was replaced, I always thought all five episodes were filmed the same day. What happened? Did Vivian have a panic attack (seems incredible given all that work before studio audiences with Lucy)? Did she walk off in a huff? Suddenly get ill? Very strange and it's notable she was never a guest again on the show and they usually used the celebrities over and over, even "C" level ones. December 11-15, 1967: ART LINKLETTER, VIVIAN VANCE (12/11), DEBORAH WALLEY (12/12-15), CHARLEY WEAVER, DELLA REESE, WALLY COX, ROSE MARIE, JIM BACKUS, BILL BIXBY & GLENN FORD. IMDb lists all ten stars for the five episodes and that can't be right given there are only nine squares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmadluv7 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 WOW- I had no idea of that. I had NO idea that any of them had their appearances on HS. The show must've been a good with all of them on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 DINO, DESI & BILLY I guess they shoved them all in one square. I've seen 2 people but rarely 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
