Special Features Broadway's Leading Ladies Go Commercial, Part 2: Betty Buckley, Bernadette Peters, Megan Mullally and More in Ads from 1980s Sit in front of a television set long enough, and you'll probably see a familiar Broadway face or two — and not just on your regularly scheduled programs, but in the commercials, too. In fact, there have been so many commercials featuring stars of the Great White Way over the years that we've decided to spend a few weeks looking back at some of our favorites. In part two, we take a look at ads with Broadway's leading ladies that aired in the 1980s. Watch out for Hermione Gingold shaking cans of Coco Goya, Bernadette Peters in a sexy Kleenex commercial and even Betty Buckley promoting Geritol.
