With the recent talk of Constellations I seem to recall an A-E Biography from 10 + years ago on Tony Perkins(or was it Roddy McDowell?)showing a film clip ofthe actor moving into new apt carrying a Constellation.Anyone else see or have this/
 
I bet you it was Tony Randall playing Felix Ungar on "The Odd Couple" television series. The series was on from 1970-1975, and Felix was a neat freak.....and so him moving into an apartment with a Constellation makes sense!

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I never saw that clip. I DO remember some shots of Marlon Brando using a Lewyt (the round canister - early version) cleaning his own apartment. It was from some early Hollywood fan magazine.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The Constellation was in production for so long that it coulda been either McDowell, Perkins or Randall! </span>
 
Odd couple

Not T Randal in this case but I think I saw a Sunbeam Courier on TV show and have somewhere a TV Guide with odd couple on cover(drawing,not photo)with Elux type vac.
 
The late Comic Rodney Dangerfield was an Electrolux fanatic,,and owned several Machines and polishers. I know there is/was a People magazine article and picture with him using an Electrolux Golden J or Super J with PN in the mid to late 70s.
I dont remember which of his movies its in, but there is a shot of him in one of them where he is using a Lux Golden or Super J with PN.
