Anyway, Jane's star turn in Bright Eyes is worth remembering--the one in which Shirley's mother is a maid for Withers's family before she gets killed by a Pacific Electric bus in Pasadena or some swanky suburb:

PS: Weird bit of trivia from the IMDB: "She delivered the eulogy at Rita Hayworth 's funeral."
When I was a kid, Jane Withers played "Josephine the Plumber" on a TV commercial. I don't remember what product she advertised. It may have been Ajax. Anyone else remember this commercial?

(I cheated...just looked her up on Wikipedia. She was advertising Comet cleanser, not Ajax).
