Today's star is Jane Greer for Woodbury Powder (face powder, not the other kind).
re: Jane Greer, I have nothing really to say. According to IMDB, she was on Twin Peaks three times, and once on Columbo - I saw every episode of both Twin Peaks and Columbo, so obviously I've laid eyes on her, but I have zero recollection of who or what she played.
One of Jane's husbands was Rudy Vallee, to whom she was married for about ten minutes. Him I have stories - or at least story - about, to wit: Back in the day there was a talk show based in Philadelphia entitled Betty Hughes and Friends. Betty Hughes was this zaftig middle-aged mom, her claim to fame being that she was the wife of Richard J. Hughes, one-time governor of New Jersey.
Rudy was a guest on the show once, and gave her grief about her huge litter of kids*, which numbered around ten or so.
Fun stuff: I remember us kids referring to her as 'Betty Huge,' on accounta the zaftig thing.
*I Wikipedia-ed her husband, and it turns out only three members of that litter were hers. The rest came from her husband's first wife.
