Sammy Davis, Jr. was notorious for his drinking, so this one kinda makes sense:


Lucille Ball apparently had a couple of vices we didn't know about:



Humphrey Bogart selling Whitman's Samplers:

Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) from Star Trek:


Roy Rogers:


Bob Hope:

  1. Great assortment. I remember all the celebrities (dating myself). Particularly love the Roy Rogers ad. One of my, and my brothers', earliest cowboy heroes.
