The Resume

    (1965-1986)
    Spokesperson for Folger's Coffee for 21 years
    Portrayed by Virginia Christine (May 20, 1920-July 24, 1996, born in Stanton Iowa)

Why she might be annoying:

    The city, Stanton Iowa, in which Virginia Christine was born is nicknamed 'The Little White City.'
    Stanton was so influenced by Mrs. Olson that their water tower is molded to look like a coffee cup and they have the world's largest coffee pot.
    She seemed excited that Folgers were mountain grown.
    Her Swedish accent was obviously phoney.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She always had coffee ready for her guests.
    She solved everyone's problems over a cup of Folgers.
