Today, UAW Local 12....Tomorrow, Broadway!

A commercial that runs two minutes and 43 seconds?

That's unheard of in today's television! But back in the late 1950s, it was the norm as seen from this Plymouth commerical featuring some of your favorite Welk Stars from the Silver Champagne Era.

And just to keep score, they are Dick Dale, Alice Lon, Larry Hooper, Big Tiny Little, Bob Lido and Rocky Rockwell.

Erin Anderson for Arla Apetina

Erin Anderson has once again made her presence felt in the world of entertainment!
 

The last we heard from her, she was appearing in a stage production in LA titled "Bobby Bendon Gets By" and a small part in the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds.

Now, we hear that Gail Farrell's daughter is now appearing in advertisements for Arla Foods and Dairy Products.

Here's one of the commercials which is for their line of Apetina cheese, and as you can tell by the voice over at the end that the commercial is airing in Europe.
