    He kind of reminds me of Tracy Jordan in 30 Rock. Especially having to be coaxed out of his dressing room. Great article.

    Vance was to win TV's first-ever Emmy award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 1953. She was also nominated (but lost) in 1954, 1956, and 1957. Frawley received five consecutive Emmy nominations for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (1953-1957), but lost each time. Frawley was asked about his Emmy losses and replied; "It didn't surprise me. I knew they didn't know what they were doing when Vivian Vance got one."
