Indubitably

Me too. She was the hottest thing since sunburn.

@@jonchrysostom The hottest thing since The Blob (Erik Cigars Commercial).

I still enjoy IAMMMMW, and she was great in that movie.

she was hot. i was 16😮❤

Not ironic, just a bit disconcerting.

Don't you mean Mae West?

sadly yes it was, she made due the best she could. They are buried side by side today.

Ok ..good for you ! But Edie was GREAT...I barely remember

moi aussi...I'm 73 - almost (wouldda been 12 or so at the time)

40 years old quit drinking and started smoking cigars instead

I was a teenager in the sixties and oh what a time it was to be a teenager. I remember these commercials as well as Miss Adams and all the television sitcoms of that time that had hot beautiful women as part of their cast. "I Dream of Jennie" anyone? Back then teenagers where smoking more than cigars if ya wanted to hang with the "cool crowd". Fortunately I didn't caved and never got involved in smoking cigars or anything else... Edie or the "cool crowd" not withstanding. Like most boys at that age my hormones' where jumping all over each other like a raging fire inside of me. The good news in all of this is, I was blessed genetically and didn't have much trouble attracting women whether I hung with the "cool crowd" or not. Sometimes the cool crowd wanted to hang with me. It was a good time and a good life. I've been a "Chad" most of my life, single most of my life, have no children by choice, and now being almost in my sixties have few regrets about my life choices. The few small regrets I do have, I take ownership of them and blame no one but myself. Even at this late age, I can still turn heads when I walk into a room. Good memories, great times.

​​@@im1who84uyou were a teenager in the 1960s and are "almost" in your 60s now? I think your math skills are about as faulty as your self perception skills - you're almost 70, gramps, and you ain't turning any heads when you walk into a room! p.s. you do know that being described as a "Chad" is an insult, don't you?

There's nothing elegant about smoking.

And you smell like a dogs butt 😛where do I sign up?

Back in the day, women smoking cigars was not socially acceptable. Edie was allergic to smoke but was in trouble with the IRS over her late husband (Ernie Kovacs) tax debt. So she took whatever roles she could to pay the debt. Really curtailed her career in that she was a genuinely talented and attractive woman but was cast in a lot of supporting roles when she should have the star. The Muriel ads ran for the better part of ten years....and, of course she never smoked one.

Edie also got 82 years old. Great to know, but How do you know she was allergic? Is it mentioned somewhere on the Internet?

It's mentioned in her biography, "Sing a Pretty Song"

Great to know, thanks.

she dont smoke the men
