Who’s more recognizable - her or Geico Gecko ? 🤔

Following in a line of actors and actresses who became known as their commercial characters: Jan Miner (Palmolive's Madge), Dick Wilson (Charmin's Mr Whipple), Michael Vale (Dunkin's "Time to Make the Donuts" Guy), Jane Withers (the Comet plumber) and others. She's in good company!
