Actress Susan Dey and two ads for Tampax tampons (ad #3, below; see #2 and #1)Susan Dey, an American television (L.A. Law, The Partridge Family) and movie actress, was a teenage model, and appeared in the ads below probably in 1969 or 1970 for Tampax (magazines unknown). See more information and pictures of Dey.An official of Tambrands, who visited MUM with her son and a member of the company advertising staff, was surprised to learn that Dey had once appeared in a Tampax ad - actually, at least three (see ads #1 and #2).
Tambrands, before Procter & Gamble bought it, generously gave this museum many items from its archives. Then P&G gave even more to MUM.Below is the third ad; see the second and the first (on the main Dey page) ads.See more famous people in menstrual hygiene advertising: Carol Lynley - Lee Miller - Mary Lou Retton - Cathy Rigby - Cheryl Tiegs - Brenda Vaccaro |
