Fairy Liquid - Nanette Newman
Stepford wife Nanette Newman becomes the face of mild green Fairy Liquid in this iconic advert.
Overview
Nanette Newman became the face of Fairy Liquid in the 1980s, starring in a number of adverts. Among her many stage and screen performances, Newman was known as one of the Stepford Wives in the 1975 film adaptation. The Fairy Liquid adverts traded in the Stepford-like qualities of its dish detergent: it is efficient at cleaning stubborn dirt, but leaves hands as soft as ever.
