Anyone remember when the actor who played Hamilton Berger, (the prosecutor on the Perry Mason show) contracted Lung Cancer?
He did a commercial stating publicly he had lung cancer and urged peole not to smoke. He died not long after.
At least Jennings can now play cards with Edward R. Murrow.
Sarah Brady! Take a number and wait!
Yule Brenner (sp?) did that as well. I recall those commercials vividly. Lucky for me, I never started the habit, even though at the time, both of my parents smoked.
My father-in-law died of fibrotosis and emphasema of the lungs after smoking many years. You DON'T want to die that way!
On the other hand my dad, uncle, great grandfather all smoked all of their lives and died of heart attack, old age and strangulation.
You lights up and takes yo' chance but like gambling, I'll pass!

William Talman. I remember how spooky that TV ad was for a young kid. Yul Brynner's was very chilling as well.
