Extractions: Born on February 27, 1887 to Mary Ellen and Mike Frawley of Burlington, Iowa, William Frawley was the second of four children. Frawley's movie career lasted over 50 years, during which he made a total of 111 films, the vast majority of them between 1933 and 1951. Although he played mostly supporting roles (often that of an Irishman), he acted in some very important movies, among them Ziegfeld Follies, Miracle on 34th Street and The Lemon Drop Kid. Frawley was often noted for his acting abilities, but he never seemed to land the big role which would catapult him to stardom. Bill Frawley was nobody's first choice for the role of Fred Mertz. Indeed, when the show was first written, there was no Fred Mertz character. The Mertzes were developed sometime after, as foils for the Ricardo characters. It could be couple against couple or women against men. The Mertzes would be older and less affluent than the Ricardos. Legend has it that Frawley called Lucille and Desi and asked them to consider him for the role. Although they were eager to hire him, CBS and sponsor Philip Morris were less sure because of the actor's reputation as a heavy drinker. Desi Arnaz gave him a dealif he missed three days of work for any non-legitimate reasons, he would be fired. The almost broke Frawley took the deal, and $350 a week to start, and was never absent for any reason having to do with alcohol. As Fred Mertz, Bill Frawley was often called upon to display his musical and dancing talents, which he had honed for years in vaudeville and on the Broadway stage. He enjoyed the episodes in which he was called upon to sing or dance, as it brought back fond memories of his days on the vaudeville circuit. His other true love, sports, was often incorporated into the I Love Lucy scripts. Whether it was baseball, football, fishing, golf, horse racing or "the fights," Fred Mertz loved it all.

Extractions: The Flirting Princess . Mrs. Frawley once sent Bill a letter which prompted him to move to St. Louis to work for a different railroad. The note said that she'd rather plant flowers on his grave than see him on the stage. With performing in his blood, he couldn't resist and formed a Vaudeville act with Paul, his younger brother. Six months later, Mrs. Frawley ordered Paul back home, so Bill went west. He got his first real solo professional engagement in Denver. He was hired as a singer at the Rex Cafe for twenty-three dollars a week. After building up a strong reputation in Colorado, Bill teamed with pianist Franz Rath and headed to San Fransisco with their act, "A Man, a Piano, and a Nut." During this four year job, Bill introduced the song "My Melancholy Baby." He formed a new act in 1914 with his new wife, Edna Louise Broedt, which they called "Frawley and Louise." Listed among "the great comedy acts of Vaudeville" in the book Vaudeville , "Frawley and Louise" was described as "light comedy, with singing, dancing, and patter." They played the Orpheum and Keith circuits until their divorce in 1927. Soon, Bill moved on to Broadway and appeared in such shows as Here's Howe!, Bye, Bye Bonnie, The Gingham Girl, Sons o' Guns

Extractions: Former vaudevillian William Frawley is known worldwide as Fred Mertz, the skinflint landlord and friend of the Ricardos, on the perpetually repeated classic TV sitcom "I Love Lucy" (CBS, 1951-1956). This was but one in a long line of gruff character roles, many of whom displayed a hidden soft side, that he played in more than 150 Hollywood films from 1931-1962. The Iowa-born Frawley began his career in the heyday of vaudeville as a comic and singer. According to lore, he reportedly was the first performer to warble the now-American classic (and gag punchline) "Melancholy Baby". More...
