Here’s a lengthy commercial for Ford featuring Ernie Kovacs and his wife Edie Adams. It aired during NBC’s broadcast of “Peter Pan,” an installment of Producers’ Showcase, on March 7th, 1955.
This aired during the original telecast of “Peter Pan” on “PRODUCERS’ SHOWCASE” {March 7, 1955}, co-sponsored that evening by RCA and Ford. Edie Adams (Mrs. Kovacs) and one of his kids also appeared in this “intermission” ad…
Interesting Ford was willing to take a flyer on Kovacs’ humor…but I am fairly sure it’s not his kid–Kovacs and Adams only got married the year before (and it’s a boy–his two kids notorious kidnapped by his ex-wife and kept from him for several years were girls)
Ernie and Edie had a daughter, but in tragic irony she was killed in a car accident…20 years after and a short distance away from where Ernie’s fatal mishap occurred.
