Anybody remember those old Palmolive commericials? Actress Jan Miner, who played Madge the Manicurist, died Sunday. She was 86 years old. Here are some bits from the CNN obit:
- From the 1940s to the 1980s, Miner appeared on and off Broadway and in productions in St. Louis, New Haven and Stratford. She also appeared in radio programs, including a leading role in "Boston Blackie"—a series in the late 1940s.
She appeared in repertory productions at the American Shakespeare Festival in Stratford for six seasons and in films and television plays and series.
Most amazing of all was that she played the Madge character for 27 years! That's a lotta soakin'!
