It’s not uncommon to see a celebrity endorse a brand today. Very often, the choice of which celebrity is roped in to represent the brand depends on the client’s budget and the celebrity’s star power. However, unlike today, these vintage ads seem to have captured the charisma of the celebrity and used their on-screen presence in an awesome way. Ladies and gentleman, buckle up your seat belts, put on your bell bottoms and polka dots and take a trip down memory lane. Mad Men style.
