Former stage, screen, television and commercial star Alice Playten passed away on June 25th, 2011 at the age of 63. My recollection of her was that of her famous Bad Cook Alka Seltzer commercial and her roll of "Alice" in Sid & Marty Krofft's "The Lost Saucer".

Took me awhile to locate this one in the archive... a 1970 talk show appearance. She was a regular on both the morning and evening talk show circuits. RIP.

  • That's Cat!

  • Aw, I'm sad that she's gone. 63 is actually too young to die. RIP.

  • I'm watching her on an episode of "Monsters" (mid 80's) right now. She was cute.

  • @vnisanianisback You are not the only one who remembers her for her roles as both Bebee Bluff & Elmo on Nick's Doug (Sorry I don't watch the Disney version). If it wasn't for that show, I would've never heard of her! Rest In Peace, Alice Playten. You too, Doris Belack.

  • Can't believe no one has mentioned her most well-known roles: The voices of Beebe Bluff and Elmo on Nickelodeon/Disney's Doug.

  • @HardyGirl66:

    Of all her work, it's The Lost Saucer that you loved and remember her by?! Now that's sad.

  • Michael Mckean reminded us via the Twitter that it would have been Alice Playten's birthday today. I looked all over for a copy of "Perrier Junkie" from National Lampoon, and found this instead.

  • I agree with m4modern: I cannot believe she's alluded me all these years despite my being such a Broadway buff.

    And my, God! She sold the hell out of "I Happen to Like New York."

  • Being a huge Broadway fan, I am ashamed to admit of only recently discovering Ms. Playten! And how very sad for me to learn that she died on my birthday! This is a wonderful clip. I used to rush home from school to watch Mike Douglas every week day. I am in awe when I think how much talent used to come into our living rooms each day via these talk shows! I very well may have seen her on this show when it was broadcast.  Rest in peace, Ms. Playten. Your enthusiasm and your talent live on!

  • Thanks for Sharing--cool --Love those days and Performances!
