Television Agent Looks For
Tired, Bedraggled Housewife
By WILLIAM EWALD
Unitad Press Correspondent
New York (U.PJ If you're
a tired, bedraggled, beat, down
trodden, neglected, worn out
hank of housewife, TV is look
ing for you.
You'd b a dandy for commer
cials. The man to get in touch with
is Henry Brown, 44 E. 53 street,
New York City, an agent who
casts human being in those mid
get TV sagas devoted to the
virtues of soup, soap or what
have you.
As Brown tells it, TV is in a
bad way for real people. People
who look like you and me. Well,
anyway, you.
"We had a heck of a time, for
example, finding a real girl with
long arms," said BrOwn today.
"We needed her for a tire
chain commercial. The idea of
the arms was that she wouldn't
appear to be straining too much
when she put those chains on."
A Baal Problem
However, those problems pale
beside Brown's present diffi
culty. It seems several sponsors
have passed along the word to
ad agencies that many of the
actresses used in TV spiels don't
look honest to goodness for real.
Pow some of the casting di
rectors of the agencies are get
ting real panicky like. They
want people who look believ
able. And believe me, this ten
dency is begining to spread.
About the only commercials left
for the high fashion girls are
cosmetics," said Brown.
The requirements for Brown's
stable are simple, he wants neat,
clean looking attractive girls.
The age bracket in the 30 s is
about the best.
Top Wages
"They can't have a regional
account, no sponsor will buy
that. And they should feel com
fortable in front of a camera, we
don't want anybody who's going
to freeze up," said Brown.
"The facial structure should
be angularbut not bony. A girl
doesn't have to be pretty, but
being ugly won t help."
The pay for flim commercials
is pretty good, S200 and up
With rerun possibilities, an ex
perienced spieler can sometimes
run that up to $5000.
On live commercials, the in
experienced pitchlady can col
lect from $140 to $250. The re
wards, of course, are much high
er for actresses with reputations.
TV reputations, that is.
Snowed With Mail
Since word got out that Brown
was scouting for housewives, he
has been snowed under with
letters and phone calls.
"I look like the 'before' in the
before pictures," wrote one lady
with much excitement from
Babylon, N.Y.
l understand, sir, you are
looking for. a tired housewife,
You can have mine," wrote an

ungallant gent from Brooklyn.
Actually," said Brown, "the
women we re looking for
shouldn't be too hard to find.
Even if we find some who aren't
so tired looking, they'll be tired
by the time we finish working
with them all day over a hot
camera."
