Susan Anton

It’s rather intriguing to consider that Susan Anton’s major breakthrough stemmed from her involvement in a cigar commercial. Given the longstanding prohibition on cigarette and cigar advertising, it’s easy to overlook their past prominence. However, the statuesque and elegantly blonde Susan Anton, radiating quintessential All-American beauty, captured the gaze of directors through her performances in the Muriel Cigar advertisements.

This initial exposure paved the way for a series of significant roles in both film and television, establishing her as a cherished presence on talk shows. Her frequent appearances, notably on the Merv Griffin Show, which saw her featured more than thirty times, along with interviews by various hosts including guest presenter David Brenner, further solidified her reputation.
