LOL, is that a women or a man in the ad

If there was Crystal Meth back then, I'd say that's what that person is on.  :icon_biggrin:

Ha ha! That's Fanny Brice....in the 20's/ 30's everybody knew who she was!
She was the Madonna (or lady gaga, if you will) of her day.
Streisand played her in "Funny Girl" in the 60's.

So shall we all be to those of the future....forgotten  :dontknow:

She looks really good in the Wiki

I could not have guessed that was the same person in that ad.
