Madge is dead--Long Live the manicurist!
From the world of infotainment we learn today of the death of actress Jan Miner, who died recently at age 86. Miner, in her role of Madge the Manicurist, was for 27 years the face of Palmolive Dish Detergent. Indeed, she was an icon of my youth. Not only did she bring the phrase, "you're soaking in it" into our lexicon, but she was single-handedly responsible for perpetuating the advertising myth that American women would not be compelled to pull their hand out of a bowl full of slimy, viscous toxic-green colored goo until after they learned it was actually dishwashing detergent.
