The famous mezzo-soprano and opera's brilliant, new coloratura agree Camels for Mildness!
Comments:
Both doctors and famous opera sings smoke Camels, so they must be A-OK, this ad insinuates. Coloratura soprano Virginia MacWatters (1912-2005) and mezzo-soprano Gladys Swarthout (1900-1969) provide the testimonials for this Camel ad. Swarthout passed away from heart disease in 1969. Ten years prior, she had undergone open heart surgery after being diagnosed with a mitral heart valve condition in 1956.
