Back in around 1977, 78 in People magazine there are pics and an article of Rodney Dangerfield using and holding an Electrolux Golden J, or Super J. I remember the article said he was a vacuum fanatic and did most all of the vacuuming of his house, rather than having his wife or a maid do it, and he always used Electrolux. If i remember right the article says he sold Electrolux's at one time,,i belive it was when he was young and just starting out. Wish i could find that article and pics again, i did save that magazine for yrs, but it finally got lost in a move.
Re: Rodney Dangerfield in People magazine ... I did a search, and the only mention in that magazine I found connecting the comedian and Electrolux was a brief in the August 8, 1983 edition in the Chatter feature. I could not find any photos, but it is likely that he was photographed with a Silverado 1505 instead of an earlier canister. Here is the brief:
What Money Can't Buy
The phone rings at the Electrolux vacuum cleaner store in Westport, Conn. A customer asks how much the best machine costs. He patiently listens to details about the Silverado, a turbine-powered job that costs $549. Then he says he'll send someone down to pick one up. He also gives his name: "Dangerfield. Yeah, you know, like in 'no respect.' " When a messenger arrives with a check from the one-and-only Rodney Dangerfield, the service manager doesn't believe it actually comes from the famous comic. He won't accept the check, and he calls Dangerfield's personal secretary to prove himself right. But, uh-oh, it turns out Rod did send the dough. Talk about no respect. This guy can't even buy a vacuum without getting a hard time.
