You know, I honestly wish I could tell you right now, Steve, but I DON'T know who!!! I'll try to find out, though....

That kooky Katy Winters, always with her nose in people's business . . . and their armpits.

I use Secret now. I didn't know they had spray deoderants back then.

@JustMeBabeee There were...and there were a few accidents as well, from smokers lighting up when they were spraying. That spray was highly flammable :>)

[JustMeBabeee]

@PERIZ99 I guess that was before warning labels too. Wow....

Between 1964 and '66, a character named "Katy Winters" [the equivalent of Comet's "Josephine the Plumber"] often recommended Secret to her friends (and viewers). In those days, at least one kind of Secret was marketed for the entire family; today, it's strictly for women.

Do you know who played Katy [Josephine was Jane Withers].

I remember thinking that Katy was mouthing the last line before delivering her laugh.

I actually remember this one and i was small!

Of course, this was before the rebranding as "Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman."

Not having luck finding info on Katy Winters. Anyone more familiar with her?
