Julia Meade Kunz (December 17, 1925 – May 16, 2016)  Film and stage actress who was a frequent pitch person in live commercials in the early days of television in the 1950s.

Meade came to public attention in 1953 as the public face of the Lincoln division of the Ford Motor Company. She did live commercials on The Ed Sullivan Show for such products as Kodak cameras and Life magazine for years, earning recognition from TV Guide as the "favorite salesgirl" of the program's host. Meade told Life magazine in 1960 that "I tackle commercials as though I were playing the queen in Hamlet".  Meade's pitch work involved doing live commercials that ran for up to five minutes, becoming most closely associated with her promotions of Lincoln automobiles, with her work for the car company described by Gerald Nachman as "part auto dealer, part chic sexpot".

Meade and Zachary Scott were co-hosts of Spotlight Playhouse, a summer anthology program on CBS in 1959. In 1969-1971, Meade hosted the syndicated program Ask Julia Meade, a daily broadcast "in which she answered ... letters from the viewers" about family matters. In the mid-1970s, she had another syndicated program, Julia Meade and Friends, on cable television. She was a regular on Club Embassy on NBC in 1952 and on The Dennis James Show on ABC, 1952-1954. She also was a host of Playhouse 90 and appeared as a panelist on What's My Line? and Get the Message. (Wikipedia)

My Year of the Book - Day 52: While re-shelving my Wallace Stegner books yesterday after posting Day 51 of MYOTB, I glanced at the cover of “Remembering Laughter,” and it struck me that the word “laugh” or one of its variants appears on the spines of several of my books. So today, just for (ahem) laughs, I chose to unite a few (certainly not all...too many are currently boxed up) like-minded tomes for a mirthful mash-up. Some have appeared here previously, and some will be featured in the future, but in the meantime, here they are in all their grinning glory: “Remembering Laughter” (1937) by Wallace Stegner (Day 51); “Keep Laughing” (1959) by Morey Amsterdam, a joke book from “The Dick Van Dyke Show”’s human joke machine; “A Gift of Laughter” (1965) an autobio by Allan Sherman, best known for his satirical song parodies (“Hello, Mudda, Hello, Faddah”); “Laughing With Lucy” (2005), a memoir by Madelyn Pugh Davis and Bob Carroll, Jr., two of “I Love Lucy”’s best writers; “Laughter’s Gentle Soul” (1997), a bio of humorist Robert Benchley by Billy Altman; “Laughter is a Wonderful Thing” (1956), an autobio by early screen comedian Joe E. Brown; (for Stan Freberg and Phil Silvers, See Days 33 and 23); “Laughing Matters” (1998), Larry Gelbart’s fine (and signed) memoir of his work on “M.A.S.H.,” “Tootsie,” “Oh, God,” and dozens of other shows; “Dangerously Funny” (2009) by David Bianculli, which tells the “uncensored” tale of “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour” on CBS; “Seriously Funny” (2003), Gerald Nachman’s fascinating book powered by interviews with comedians and satirists of the 1950s and 1960s; “So Far, So Funny” a 1999 memoir by film comedy writer Hal Kanter; “A Great, Big Silly Grin,” Humphrey Carpenter’s look at the 1960s British satire boom from 2000; and finally, “A Brief History of the Smile” (2004), a look at the meaning and uses of happy faces throughout history by Angus Trumble. So...what other laughs and giggles do you have facing out from your bookshelves? #smile #laughing #laughter #book #booklover #bookgeek #booksofinstagram #bookworm #bookstagram #bibliophile #funny #comedy #comedians #mylibrary #yearofthebook
