Tony-winning actress, TV star Edie Adams dies
By BOB THOMAS
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
LOS ANGELES -- Actress and singer Edie Adams, the blonde beauty who won a Tony Award for bringing Daisy Mae to life on Broadway and who played the television foil to her husband, comedian Ernie Kovacs, has died. She was 81.
Adams died Wednesday in a Los Angeles hospital from pneumonia and cancer, publicist Henri Bollinger said.
A graduate of Juilliard School of Music, Adams hoped to become an opera singer but instead went on to gain fame for her sketches with Kovacs and her pivotal roles in two top Broadway musicals.
For nearly two decades, she also was the sexy spokeswoman for Muriel cigars, singing and breathily cooing in TV commercials: "Why don't you pick one up and smoke it sometime?"

Awww........I loved her with Kovacs. Such a talented lady.
RIP
RIP, Edie.
She was great, back in the day, when TV comedy was mildly risque, but very very funny.
Ernie Kovacs was a genius of comedy.
Never again will we see the likes.
In the era before political correctness, she is what used to be known as “a classy dame.” Rest in Peace.
A class act from an era where there were real stars.
RIP Edie!
This night they will sleep together, and I am happy for them, now and forever together at peace in the arms of the Lord.....
I just watched some of those commercials that are included as extras on the DVD set of the series “Honey West.”
She was both pretty and talented and married to one of the funniest men in the world. RIP.
She was hot as blazes when she was with Ernie.
My Dad knew both Ernie and Edie. He always spoke very highly of both of them.
RIP

>>She is survived by her son, Joshua Mills. Daughter Mia Kovacs was killed at 22 in a 1982 car accident.<<
Wow, I didn’t know that.
It’s a mad mad mad mad world. Classic!

I was pretty young and we didn’t have a TV anyway when he was on TV but I watched a lot of his work in later years. Truly a comedic genius. Edie was cute as a button too.
The act is back together.
RIP Edie
That dates you. It also dates ne.
