Comments:

American singer and actor Frank Sinatra (1915-1998), known affectionately as “Ol’ Blue Eyes,” is featured smoking a Chesterfield in this cigarette. As he blows out the smoke, he says, “You’re smoking smooth—smoking clean!” This statement presents Chesterfields as healthful and natural. An additional Chesterfield ad featuring Sinatra was printed a year later in 1958. Sinatra also endorsed Old Gold in 1946, and co-starred on the Lucky Strike “Your Hit Parade” from 1943 to 1949. He passed away after suffering from two heart attacks, though the official cause of death was reported to be complications from senility, heart and kidney disease, and bladder cancer.
