Josephine the Plumber was played by Jane Withers… who knew. After seeing the pictures side-by-side I can see it.
I remember her in “Bright Eyes.” Such a great performance by a kid. Another one for the “wouldn’t have guessed still alive” file. R.I.P.
I remember the comet ads … RIP
I just loved her as the ultimate bratty little girl in the Shirley Temple movies! Thanks for all the great memories, Jane. Rest In Peace.
I had forgotten about those Josephine The Plumber commercials. She did them for quite a number of years.
Almost as long as Jesse White did the Maytag Repairman commericials.
❤️🌹🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼🌹 God bless and peaceful rest dear lady.
May God rest her soul.
Very interesting article. She had quite an adventurous life.
She portrayed a terrific, over-the-top Texas Rancher/Oilman’s wife in Giant. RIP.
I remember her in Giant now...She was the oil-rich cowgirl wrapped in mink, and with her diamond earrings swinging away, bragged loudly about her old pal Jet at the big hoedown, but I always kinda wondered if she was supposed to be a model for women as Josephine the Plumber, or was it supposed to be that if an ordinary American housewife bought and used Comet, that she would be just like a real plumber? RIP
Another COVID death to misreport.
Thanks for the post. I though she was already dead. It’s nice to see a few actors and actresses lived a very long life. RIP Jane.
RIP.
