70s Spots: Hostess Snack Cakes (Ann Blyth, 1972 & ’74)

Still frame from my nightly dreams circa 1970s

“Freshness never tasted so good.”

A pair of Hostess snack cakes commercials featuring Academy Award-nominated actor, Ann Blyth (Mildred Pierce). Both of these spots seem to feature Blyth’s real family. The first aired in August of 1972. The second ran in February of 1974.

Ann Blyth is happily still with us and going strong at the age of 88. Not sure if she’s facilitating snacking for the grand and great-grand kids.
