  Once upon a time, the ad men thought there was no better way to get their products off the shelves and into our shopping baskets than a recommendation from a familiar, friendly face. As faces didn't come any more familiar than the stars of the screen, the celebrity sell was born. If you couldn't decide what to smoke, drink, eat or wear, there was no need to worry, the stars were on hand to help. Starring: Julie Andrews, Lucille Ball, Joan Crawford, Bing Crosby, Salvador Dali, Doris Day, Marlene Dietrich, Errol Flynn, Judy Garland, Rita Hayworth, Ernest Hemmingway, Bob Hope, Rock Hudson, Buster Keaton, Gene Kelly, Dorothy Lamour, Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Liberace, Groucho Marx, Marilyn Monroe, David Niven, Laurence Olivier, Ronald Reagan, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Spencer Tracy, John Wayne and many more. 30 classic pull-out picture postcard images selected from the Advertising Archives - the largest and most comprehensive publishing and advertising image library in Europe with over a million advertisements and magazines covers dating as far back as 1850.
