Alka Seltzer Bad Cook

[friendulums]

Alice Playten was a one-of-a-kind talent and personality; it makes me sad to learn that she passed away at so young an age.

That ending double-take is too funny!

Goodbye, Sweet Alice, I would have braved your meals!

RIP Alice...I loved your work...and this advertisement is one of my all time favorites!

She was a very likeable actress. I remember her as a talk show guest in the early 70s, too. I would love to see those appearances posted on Youtube!

@josiemax Search for "Alice Playten Talk Show" for an early Alice appearance on Mike Douglas (Dec 1970)

I remember her in George M! back in 1968, the first show I ever saw. She was very funny. RIP yes.

Miss you Alice! You were in NYC when theater and commercials were at their height in creativity. They served as a vehicle for your talent. You've inspired many.

Those horrible meals that Ms.Playten mentions here in this "Alka Seltzer"TV plug..those recepies were printed in a back issue of "TV Guide".."Believe It Or Else?!".

[TheStanbabe]

OMG! This lady can't cook.

This ad was from around 1969.

Alice Playten is the wife; Terry Kiser is the unfortunate husband.
