During the filming of I Love Lucy, she lived in Hollywood.

She was born in Cherryvale, Kansas. Her family moved to Independence, Kansas when Viv was six. Eventually she moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico to find work as an actress, which earned her then money to go to New York, to study under Eva Le Gallienne. In 1947, Vance decided to move to California to pursue other theatre projects as well as opportunities in film.

In 1951, 42-year-old Vance was given the role of "Ethel Mertz" on the new television program "I Love Lucy", which debuted October 15, 1951, on CBS, and was filmed at Desilu Studios in Hollywood, CA.

In 1959, Viv ended she divorced her third husband. In 1961, she married again for the fourth and final time, and moved to Stamford, Connecticut. In 1962, she began work on a different show, "The Lucy Show", but the pressures of long-distance commuting didn't suit her, so after three years she limited her herself to guest appearances. In 1974, she and her husband moved to Belvedere, CA (just north of Francisco Bay) so she could be near her sister. Five years later she died there, of cancer.
