The Gold Dust Twins, Goldy & Dusty, disappeared long before my time, Thank God!
(I did meet an old white guy once, who, along with his twin brother, was put in 'black-face' and photographed for "Gold Dust" advertisements ... his 15 or 7 1/2 minutes of fame).
I am going to miss "Mia" the Ojibwa Maiden.I would go out of my way in the grocery store, just to see her. :'(
That Dutch Gal, who use to "beat the heck out of dirt", seems to have faded into the dustbin of history or moved to Canada.
She use to scare the heck out of me. (I read that the artist used a 'Black' Model for the original graphic. IDK - She looks pretty Dutch to me).
I also read that 'Speedy' and 'Reddy Kilowatt' still appear from time to time. I haven't seen either of them in years.
After the 1980 Olympic Ad, 'Speedy' is lucky that he wasn't sentenced to hard-time in the "P.C. Prison" or made to sit in Reddy's Electric Lap!
Youth must have worked in his favor and insulated him from consequences .... plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is.
