Actress Susan Dey and Tampax
menstrual tampons
Susan Dey, an American television (L.A. Law, The Partridge Family) and
movie actress, was a teenage model, and appeared in an advertisement 1 April
1970 for Tampax (below, left; see two more for
Tampax). Below, at right, is part of another ad she made at about the
same time.
An official of Tambrands, who visited MUM with her son and a member
of the company advertising staff, was surprised to learn that Dey had once
appeared in a Tampax ad - actually, at least three (see the other
two). Ms. Dey was venturesome since she also appeared for Pursettes
tampons (below).
By the way, this official, Dr. Iris Prager, the manager of North American
education for Tampax, e-mailed me in November 2000 when I was preparing
for a television debate, writing
"You don't have to actually experience menstruation
to understand how it works physiologically or to educate about it."
She was president-elect of the American Association for Health Education.
Many pictures, long download!
