I imagine the shooting schedule for Survival Spanish was pretty grueling but Vivian's not falling asleep in the above picture even though it was probably around 4:00 AM. She frequently winked at you during the lessons as if to say, "Come on, you can do it". It encouraged me in more ways than one. Pity the poor cameraman trying to keep his mind on business.
(Left) Although I've never found much information about it, Vivian was the co-host of E & E (Estrellas y Estrenos), described as a spanish version of Entertainment Tonight. ET and Survival Spanish are both products of the 1980s and in this lesson Vivian seems to be doing her own interpretation of Mary Hart's patented "honest to gosh" expression.
More 1980s stuff. Vivian guest stars as Gloria in the Miami Vice episode Deliver Us From Evil , and Rosa in the 1987 movie Nasty Hero.
More recently Vivian has appeared in spanish soap operas like Angel Rebelde and El Cuerpo Del Deseo. Such shows are becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. All images above are courtesy of Amazon.com where you can purchase the items.
(Left) Extralarge? Bud Spencer? Okay, surely you saw a western titled They Call Me Trinity. Spencer played Trinity's older brother, "the left hand of God." (Oh yeah, that's where I've seen him!). Just one of several movies he did with Terence Hill. Look closely at the lower left hand corner of the DVD at left and you'll see another familiar face hiding in the shadows. A computer-enhanced version is below.
