I looked her up. Audrey died last year. (http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/newsobserver/obituary-preview.aspx?n=audrey-druhmel-jefferay&pid=140272565&referrer=1878) She was still married to Bill.

Awww, that's too bad. I do love it when we have enough information to know what happened to these people, though. I wonder how they decided to use this particular couple? A contest maybe?

this. *sighs*

ponds cold cream is what my grandmother always used on her face. i can remember many a night her asking me to do her face for her, putting it on then wiping it off again with a tissue. GT did have soft skin but...well, at age 94 she'd just a *few* wrinkles. to me, she just looked like granny always looked. i miss the old bat something terrible.

(she called me hyena, i called her old bat. *G*)

Her mouth is off-center.

I think they used Pond's in the latest season of Mad Men. Poor Peggy was trying every possible angle to sell it to the focus group, but in the end had to give up and to admit that all they really cared about was getting married. So in the end they stuck with that kind of ad.

I think Don actually put his foot down and said he didn't want to make that kind of ad, damn the focus group.

"My skin in the olive-brunette type and I have to keep it spandy clean or it gets dark looking."

Oh, my heavens! We certainly do not want that!

What the ad says:

"She's engaged, she's lovely, she uses POND'S."

What it really means:

"If you use POND'S, maybe you'll get engaged, too."

You can see a bunch of these in the LIFE magazines on Google Books.

They're... actually rather addicting.
