Edie Adams
October 16, 2008
The scintillating, sultry-eyed blonde star of
screen, TV and award-winning stage went on
to become best known, however, for her
sensual delivery pitching cigars in taunting 60s
ads and commercials with her Mae Westian
come-on line, "Why don't you pick one up and
smoke it sometime?" This, of course, was at a
time when smoking was considered quite sexy
and fashionable, and Edie Adams went above
and beyond the call of duty in making these
ads legendary.
Edie had her hand dipped in all pools of
entertainment - she was a singing siren, an
award-winning Broadway musical entertainer, a
deft impressionist and comedienne, a serious
dramatic actress, a commercial saleswoman and
a viable TV celebrity. Off-stage she showed
remarkable poise and resourcefulness, when
her famous first husband, landmark TV comic
Ernie Kovacs, was tragically killed in a January
1962 car crash in Los Angeles.
She received outstanding notices in a few of
her films, whether it be drama "Love with the
Proper Stranger" (1963), "The Best Man"
(1964) or frivolous comedy "Call Me Bwana"
(1963), "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World"
(1963), "Under the Yum Yum Tree" (1963),
"The Honey Pot" (1967) and my personal
favorite, "The Apartment" (1960).
