Trouper Rebuilds Life After Sister Rosetta's Death
Hollywood AP reports Vivian Duncan coping with the loss of sister Rosetta Duncan in an auto crash near Chicago. For forty two years the sisters performed together as Topsy and Eva, now Vivian to solo act at Billy Gray's Bandbox in Sherman Oaks. She recalls Rosetta guiding her, burying her beside their father at Forest Lawn, and considers giving up performing before Penny Singleton urged partnership. Vivian joined with Alice Tyrell for an act and resumes touring with plans for Monte Carlo and London.
