 Edie Adams
Edie Adams -- Tony-winner, classically trained as a singer, and a gifted comedienne -- is probably best known for being Ernie Kovacs's widow.
Adams is remembered as the "cigar girl" from Muriel commercials, where she suggestively said, "Why don't you pick me up and smoke me sometime?" While Kovacs almost always had a cigar in his mouth, Adams was allergic to smoke, a fact she did not share with the makers of Muriels.
He had switched cars with Adams only moments before, the streets were wet and he had been drinking, but she believes he was probably lighting one of his beloved cigars when he lost control of the vehicle.
