20 Vintage Advertisements That Featured Celebrities
I don’t necessarily like to use the words “selling out” because that connotes some kind of wrong doing on the celebrity’s part. These are human beings like the rest of us and they’re just trying to make a living. I mean in this economy I’d let a sumo wrestler take a dump on my head in a commercial if it paid well enough.
Nevertheless it’s definitely humorous to see celebrities back in their early days doing print magazine ads. I mean who would have thought that Willie Mays would be doing syrup ads? I for one, had no clue.
So here are 20 vintage advertisements that featured celebrities
Brooke Shield Shampoo Ad
William Shatner for the Commodore
Marilyn Monroe for Cosmetics
Ronnie Reagan for Cigarettes
Humphrey Bogart for Tobacco
The Bee Gees!
Dom Delouise for Ziplock
I don’t think this airline is around anymore
Farrah Shampoo?
Wesson with Mrs Brady, Florence Henderson
Jackie Gleason for Coffee
Mickey Mantle for Kodak
Woody Allen for Vodka
Raquel Welch for Sunglasses
Paul Newman for Coke
Bill Cosby for Ford
Ray Charles for Stereos
OJ For Boots
Willie Mays for Syrup
Even More Uncoachable Stuff
What the heck is Alaga syrup? And I wonder if we can still send in for recipes

Why does OJ have three or more legs? WTF? That’s pretty cool.
Personally, I think Farrah had way to many “herbs” in her day
