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."

@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.

Always loved Viv. She was always one of my favorites.
She looks great in this commercial.
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.
