[78-L] "Mamma"

[Bill Knowlton]

What was funny about the "Mama" commercials was the "poetic license" CBS took with the Maxwell House coffee commericals. They had Peggy Wood holding up a Maxwell House coffee vacuum sealed can, definitely not around in 1912!

 

I met Ms Wood once at the Sharon CT Playhouse. She was well-removed from the Mama persona. Quite a grande dame!

 

BTW Miss Wood's voice in "Sound Of Music" was dubbed, I think by Marnie Nixon.
