Similarly, there was a commercial or maybe series of commercials that
had someone in it/them that said, "I'm Rula Lenska." My thought at the
time was,"Who the $%^# is Rula Lenska?" Now of course you can just look
it up. Back then, not so easy.

I remember those commercials myself.

I thought it was sort of sexy how she rolled that R, but I paid it
little attention otgherwise. However, I looked her up now. I see that
she was a concentration camp survivor! Also, she was famous as an
actress in Britain.

However, you are still in good company. After looking her up, to get
an idea of her claim to fame, I learned that Johnny Carson actually
used "Who the heck is Rula Lenska" as a running joke on his show.
