You know their faces but not their names.

In film and television, from the Golden Age to the present, they are your sidekicks, your second bananas and supporting characters.

The Ethel Awards take their name from the grande dame of sidekicks, Ethel Mertz, as played by Vivian Vance.

For what would Lucy be without Ethel?

It’s time for the Ethel (and Fred) Mertzes of the world to get their due!
