6. Love to hate you

We’ve all heard stories of stars that played close friends or lovers onscreen and absolutely hated each other off-screen. Unfortunately this was the case for Vivian Vance (Ethel Mertz) and her TV husband William Frawley (Fred Mertz). A slew of insults were thrown around backstage, but both stars were smart enough to ensure they kept their mutual frustration towards each other behind-the-scenes and out of the public eye. Why so mad? Well, Vance was twenty-two years younger than Frawley and hated having him play her husband on the show.
