JDMvW Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Just for fun, I noted some strange endorsements in my files: (This may make more sense, if any, if you remember Roy Rogers) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Vongries Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 An unsurprising number of Movie folk were interested in photography. some notably good. They were photographed more than most people in the course of their employment and private lives as well. Some interest was bound to be the result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 During the 60's and early 70's some camera makers advertised using characters from popular TV shows. Dick van Dyke from his later show advertised Kodak products. Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched) promoted the Instamatic cameras. During the late 80's, IIRC, tennis star Andre Agassi promoted the EOS Rebel. At the family camera shop (during 80's) we had a life size cardboard cut out of Cheryl Tiegs holding an Olympus OM-10 (complete with manual adapter). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Seaman Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 There are pictures of the Queen using a gold plated Rollei 35: PM Lee goes geeky over made-in-S'pore gold vintage camera used by Queen Elizabeth II 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels - NHSN Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I have linked to this before. One can argue over who of the 3 celebrities are actually doing the endorsing. I had to look up James Hunt - a Formula 1 race car driver it turns out. 1 Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Seaman Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 UK members will remember the Olympus Trip TV commercial with George Cole and David Bailey. "Who do you think you are, David Bailey?". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42dave Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Pro golfer Nancy Lopez did a TV ad for the Konica FS-1: I also remember Wilt Chamberlain in a magazine ad for the Miranda Sensoret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
