When James Garner & Mariette Hartley began shooting the Polaroid ad's, Mariette was only getting a base pay as an actress. When James Garner realized that he and Mariette had an appeal (not to mention were selling a butt-load of cameras), he called the brass and got her pay raised overnight. These ad's began running about one year after The Rockford Files ended. During the last season, Mariette was a guest star in one of the episodes. I wonder if that's how she got the camera gig?
LMAO!! "Only a young, retarded girl..."

That is the late Danny Dark v/o the promos for "Father Murphy", "Flamingo Road", and the World Premiere Movie, "Fire on the Mountain".
