		Frawley's career was at a standstill in 1951 when he was cast as curmudgeon Mertz, landlord and friend of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo.

	LUCYlibrary Profile: William Frawley ("Fred Mertz" of I Love Lucy, starring Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz)
		William Frawley had been a beer-and-pretzels vaudevillian who appeared on Broadway during the 1920s and made scores of Hollywood films in the 1930s and 1940s.
		Frawley's irascible personality, his insistence on offering a profanity-spewn opinion even in the presence of major studio executives, and his propensity for too frequently savoring alcoholic beverages, had caused his acting career to slump badly.
		However, the truth of the matter was that even when stone-cold sober, he was perfectly capable of expressing himself loudly and for any and all to hear in language spiced with raw, salty expletives.
