Q. These two 1977 commercials for the phallic antiperspirant "Tickle" feature 6 familiar actresses. I'm not certain they've all been identified correctly. Any help?
A. I could be wrong on this, but I think the first three are Karen Austin, Cheryl Ladd and Mariel Hemmingway (or is it Margeux?). An anonymous visitor speculated that the second set of ladies may be Kathryn Leigh Scott, Kim Bassinger and Lynne Moody.

And how did they sneak the blatant sexual innuendo past the network censors?

Q. It should be easy for many to identify the second little girl seen in this Talking Barbie (and Stacy!) doll commercial from 1968. Who is she?
A. Eve Plumb, best known as Jan Brady from TV's "The Brady Bunch."
And as a bonus, there's many familiar faces in this promo for the little-seen "Blansky's Beauties," the "Barney Miller" spin-off "Fish" and the original "Starsky and Hutch."

Congratulations! You've just successfully wasted another four+ minutes of your life! Those who guessed correctly will win squat... but if you can name someone that I couldn't, leave me a comment!
Cuz you know you don't have a life either.___________________________________________________

I am pretty sure that the second set of "Tickle" ladies are:
1) Kathyn Leigh Scott (maybe)
2) Kim Basinger (maybe)
3) Lynne Moody (for sure)
george dzundza from Basic Instinct (among others ) is in that sewing machine spot .
Didn't know the other fellow.
I'm guessing Teri Copley is #2 in the first commercial. I'll agree with Basinger, but it's too quick.
Yeah, the Basinger chick had me stumped and I'm still not certain it's her. As for Copley, I don't think that's her -- she would've only been 15 or 16 when the commercial was filmed (it aired in March 1977).
Regarding the dog food commercial, wasn't the silent guy in the middle on "The Love Boat" for a while? He looks like Bernie Kopell. The other guy seems familiar, but I can't place him.
That's not James Whitmore, but I think the guy on the left is in the Bartles and James commercials.
