  • She always seemed like such a sweetheart.

  • The reason many elderly stars end up doing commercials is not a sad one; it's because commercials are not as physically demanding as television series or movies. Many commercials are shot in one day --- Bang, you're done, and you get a nice fat check, plus residuals. It's the perfect gig for older performers, such as Vivian Vance, here, who may not have had a tremendous amount of stamina at this point. This was only four years before her death.

  • She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1973 I believe. Her "Maxine" commercials began airing in 1975. It was a good way for her to stay in the public eye. Vivian RIP. You are greatly missed.

  • I adore Vivian Vance. Simple like that. Just think that she is so inspiring :) Without being always the star she could always shine and that's being a good actress for me . & another thing that I love about her is that without being the skinny actress she could just as well be sooooo beautiful . :D ♥

  • @shmoker2010 That is too funny.

  • I love how the woman, after saying "that's it" to Vivian, changes the spot of the tall building at the last second just to be like " ok I'm still in charge here."

  • Oh wow I remember this

  • @MediaWatchDawg Me, and millions of others. That's why they still make and sell it. Even Starbucks got into the instant game.

  • @MediaWatchDawg My grandmother and my mother still drink instant coffee.

  • that urns me a cup!

  • Always loved Viv. She was always one of my favorites.

    She looks great in this commercial.
