I love Virginia Christine in most everything. A fine character actress who played the Mrs. Olson character to a tee.

Did you see her in "Billy The Kid Versus Dracula"?

aired during a block of perhaps NBC daytime soap operas!

When I was a kid in the seventies, seeing these commercials I always thought maybe she was some famous person who escaped from East Germany. Berlin Wall and all that.

Total BS accent. It disappears on other TV shows.

And this is a commercial. People act in commercials too you know. Or are you completely naive?

Or maybe she had to lose her natural accent for the parts she was playing. Similar to British actors having to do an American "accent" for parts here in America
