With the recent talk of Constellations I seem to recall an A-E Biography from 10 + years ago on Tony Perkins(or was it Roddy McDowell?)showing a film clip ofthe actor moving into new apt carrying a Constellation.Anyone else see or have this/

I bet you it was Tony Randall playing Felix Ungar on "The Odd Couple" television series. The series was on from 1970-1975, and Felix was a neat freak.....and so him moving into an apartment with a Constellation makes sense!

I never saw that clip. I DO remember some shots of Marlon Brando using a Lewyt (the round canister - early version) cleaning his own apartment. It was from some early Hollywood fan magazine.

 

The Constellation was in production for so long that it coulda been either McDowell, Perkins or Randall!

Odd couple

Not T Randal in this case but I think I saw a Sunbeam Courier on TV show and have somewhere a TV Guide with odd couple on cover(drawing,not photo)with Elux type vac.

The late Comic Rodney Dangerfield was an Electrolux fanatic,,and owned several Machines and polishers. I know there is/was a People magazine article and picture with him using an Electrolux Golden J or Super J with PN in the mid to late 70s.
I dont remember which of his movies its in, but there is a shot of him in one of them where he is using a Lux Golden or Super J with PN.
