Mr. Clean Passes Away
« on: October 02, 2008, 09:04:44 AM »
House Peters Jr., a TV actor who became the original Mr. Clean in Proctor & Gamble's commercials for household cleaners, died Wednesday. He was 92.

The elder Peters' most memorable role came as Mr. Clean — a muscular man with a bald head, a hoop earring and a no-nonsense attitude toward dirt and grime. From the late 1950s and into the early 1960s, Peters Jr. helped advertise the famous household cleaner with the trademark jingle, "Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean."

The guy was definitely synonymous with baldness. Is there any one of us who hasn't had the "Mr Clean" jingle sung to us a time or two? I know I dang sure have!
