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.
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 some of these pics 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.
(Below) Vivian appears with Bud Spencer in a scene from Extralarge. Image courtesy of Tvspielfilm. Was this show inspired by the old Cannon detective series which starred the "extra large" William Conrad? That show ran from 1971-1976.
