A while back there was a listing on eBay for Elton Johns Amana washer and dryer. They were older full computer control panel. I believe they were in Chicago? someone had purchased them from a friend of a friend of Elton John? |

Jayne Mansfield had a pink 1965 Lady Kenmore set--according to a former Sears repairman who attempted to sell a wad of Jayne's pink dryer lint on eBay. |

I think "Breeze" had the towels and "Duz" had the dishes. |

Rosemary Clooney did an ad for Lady Kenmore washers and dryers Eve Arden did an ad for Kenmore Eye Level self cleaning ranges Anne Baxter did an ad for The Coldspot sxs fridge FYI Earlier it was mentioned that Erma Bombeck had Maytags, while that may be true I happen to know that in the 70's she was partial to GM Frigidaire because in one column she tells had she had to pay a washer repair man $25 to retrieve one of her kids class rings from under the pulsator (her words) of her washer and in another she mentions that washer was pulsating. Also I have a 1971 Life article on her that shows her leaning up against the washer in her utility room and although you can see the control panel the cabinet looks very much like that of a 1-18. I think the reason she may have been partial to GM Frigidaire is because she is from Dayton Ohio and her mother worked for years in a GM plant. |

Also did print ads for InSinkErator disposals in the 60's, and legend has it she was presented a gold plated Kirby vacuum from the Kirby company... |

Jayne could've gotten her LK custom colored. She took the name of her home--the Pink Palace--VERY seriously. |

Why does Anne Baxter, who could afford any washer she wanted, choose a Kenmore from Sears? Because she stole it from Bette Davis. |

We are forgetting one of the most famous ad series of the 50's. Crosley! Margaret Lindsey (Warner Bros starlet from the movie "Jezebel" with Bette Davis) did a series of wonderful ads printed in pink promoting the fabulous Crosley line of appliances........... |
