Before They Were Stars: Television Commercials With Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, and More

Posted on January 25, 2015 at 8:00 am

Phil Hall has a delightful collection of “before they were stars” television ads featuring Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, James Dean, Morgan Freeman, Matt LeBlanc, Steve Carell, and more.

Here’s one I love that he left out, with pre-“Laverne and Shirley” Penny Marshall and pre-“Charlie’s Angels” Farrah Fawcett.

Tribute: Farrah Fawcett

Posted on June 25, 2009 at 2:01 pm

We mourn the loss of the beautiful and talented Farrah Fawcett, who died this morning after a long bout with cancer. She came to attention as the athletic Jill on “Charlie’s Angels.” Her dazzling smile and girl-you-wish-was-next door look quickly led to the poster that became a twelve million-selling sensation. Her departure from the show after the first year was rancorous, but she proved herself to be a gifted actress, with outstanding work in “The Burning Bed,” “Extremities,” “See You in the Morning,” and “The Apostle.” She married Ryan O’Neal last week, after an on-and-off relationship that spanned decades. She will be fondly remembered and she will be missed.
