1950s women's face cream tv ad

January 7th, 2009 2:02 am
  • I'm writing a book, and would like to know the name of the the product used in an early 1950s tv ad that I've seen on tv's TV Land or Nick-at-Nite. It advertises a young woman who has mud with radiation applied to her face. A geiger counter shows the mud pack to be radioactive. Then she uses the face cleanser to remove the radioactive mud and a geiger counter shows her face to be clear of radioactivity. Please let me know the name of the product or any information about this ad (or its participant). Thank you. Dacary


  • Hi Dacary, Thank you for such an entertaining question. I found the TV ad you’re referring to at the TV Party Website, “Television’s Most Outrageous Commercials”. The commercial was made in 1955 and the name of the product is “Dorothy Gray Salon Cold Cream”. The following excerpt describes the commercial: “As the commercial begins, our model is prancing around downtown in a fur coat, completely self-involved and checking her make-up because there are so many shops to go to. Later, in order to prove the cleansing power of Dorothy Gray Salon Cold Cream, her face is actually covered in radioactive dirt - verified with a Geiger counter.” “Now that the woman's skin is fully radioactive, simply clean with Dorothy Gray, and Voila! - the Geiger counter proves it, Dorothy Gray cleans better! “ The TvParty Website http://www.tvparty.com/emcomm.html In addition you can see the commercial here: http://www.tvparty.com/commercials/dorothygray.ram Search Criteria: ://www.google.com/search?hl=es&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=classic+tv+commercials+face+cream+geiger&lr= I hope this provides you with the information you are seeking and if you need any clarification before rating my answer just ask and I’ll be pleased to help. Best regards, Bobbie7-ga
