I love checking out celebrity advertisements, especially the older ones featuring classic Hollywood stars. The print ad below featured Vincent Price (1911-1993) hawking Creamettes Macaroni. I do not know what Vincent Price and pasta have to do with each other, but Price was a great chef. I don't have a date on this ad, but I would place it as the mid to late 1970s...
He did TV ads for them too. I knew him for this as a kid before I knew him as the horror film star.
ReplyDeleteHis family developed Price’s Cream of Tartar Baking Powder”. Was Creamettes trying to capitalize on that? Nonetheless, after 47 years,we continue with the Creamette brand. Great advertising campaign
