Vintage TV spots featuring Farrah Fawcett

So sad about Farrah Fawcett passing away.

She was in a lot of TV commercials in the 1970s -- quite a few even before she found fame as an actress.

Here are links to some of those commercials:

Noxema shaving cream with Joe Namath

Noxema shaving cream and "great balls of comfort"

Ultra Brite toothpaste

Head & Shoulders shampoo with Penny Marshall

Mercury Cougar automobiles

Lady Schick Speed Styler hair dryer with cameo by Angela Cartwright

Farrah Fawcett sold 12 million copies of her famous swimsuit poster. And started a craze for maillots.

1966 Nupron fabric ad featuring Veronica Hamel

Most recently, Veronica Hamel played Dr. Jack Shephard's mother on Lost. At 65, she's STILL gorgeous.

1983 ad for Aramis cologne featuring Ted Danson

1970 bath oil ad featuring Veronica Hamel and outrageously sexist copy

The copy reads:

Sure. You live with him and take care of him and hang up his clothes. But just because you do the things a wife's supposed to do, don't forget you're still a woman.

One of the nicest things you can do for a man is take care of your skin. That means Sardo. No other bath oil or bead has Sardo's unique dry skin formula. It's pure bath oil. The richest. The best. 3 out of 4 women saw and felt and loved the difference after just one Sardo bath.

How about you? Why don't you do something soft and young and special for him. Feel wonderful all over with Sardo.
