When she was 17, Mary started as “Happy Hotpoint” a dancing elf in commercials that aired during Ozzie and Harriet. Every day really is a holiday with Hotpoint!

Who knew that this little elf would grow up to become Mary Richards???

Great pic and yes, it was a treat to see her frolicking around in the very first Ozzie & Harriet early ep I watched. (Like I said on other bds. related to Mary, she's a woman of MANY talents.)
