One of the more lighthearted anecdotes Vicki shared in her book was a chat she once had with a female crew member. Vicki had been very sheltered in her home life, and was still living at home for the first couple of years the Burnett show was in production. Anyway, Vicki was totally impressed with how nice, polite, kind, understanding, etc., the show's male dancers were. Vicki didn't understand why any of them weren't married. The female crew member replied, "You do realize they're gay, don't you?" Vicki said she was mortified!!
