@cylon6 Steve Allen was next to a pool, dressed in drag as "Rula Shiksa" advertising "V-O Doe" Lenska appeared from behind the vanity mirror, surprised Allen and pushed him in the pool. He emerged to say, "You're very pretty." She replied, "So are you!"
Rula Lenska had a brush with fame in the US for a hair shampoo in the late 70's early 80's. She played a very snobbish sophisticated European big time star who only used the best shampoos - and you could buy the shampoo the fabulous world famous Rula Lenska uses - Alberto VO5. She camped it up too - talking in the most refined uppity tone that only the best would do for you. The US people believed it all for a long time because no one ever heard of her "across the pond" in the US.
