I remember a few years back, Henderson doing commercials for Polident denture cream. Did she actually wear dentures? Anybody know?

Probably - not sure whether they'd be partial or full dentures.

I say probably because as I recall, a law was passed in the late seventies where if a celebrity was endorsing a product, they had to actually use the product (usually provided free from the company of course, but at least they'd be using it). I think it was passed after some people got up in arms over the ad where Joe Namath wore the pantihose - citing that there's no way he should endorse a product he didn't actually use.

Nothing like a woman with removalable chompers!!! :lol:

I don't know abt that. How would one know if someone used some particular product? A celebrity could say yes I use this detergent but who is going to argue? It certainly isn't that way with regular commercial actors. They are just actors, they don't really use the product.

I didn't know that she wore false teeth. It does make some sense to promote a product that you could use. I hate to have to admit I have bowel problems and I advertise for Exlax. Bob Dole had no problem pushing viagra in his commercials a few years back.

According to the FAQ on her official website she doesn't.

See "Do you wear dentures?" under Personal FAQs.

At least Flo's commercials aren't as goofy as June Allyson's Depends commercials in the 80s.
