Celebrity Endorsements Vol. 1
Promotions from the vault
Chuck Norris’s Action Jeans with the patented No-Bind® Crotch
Be it at the studio’s behest or a simple desire to keep their famous faces in the public eye (while being handsomely compensated in the process), celebrities have long been known to lend their likenesses to various products, whether they believe in them or not.
Would you believe Don Adams, TV’s Maxwell Smart, for Monsanto? Or how about a tanned “Tippi,” sock puppets pigging out on ice cream, O.J. skates, and two ads featuring male model Richard Roundtree before he gave Hollywood the Shaft.
These are but a pittance of the promotional endorsements locked away in my data vault. The first ad features Patty Duke, my #3 and #4 prepubescent crushes. (Hayley Mills in The Parent Trap was #1 and #2.) Her death this week at the age of 69 saddened me to no end. Expect an obit. For now, enjoy these far-reaching seals of approval.
