One of Eva’s most remembered roles was as the “Girl in the Tube.” She’s the alluring seductress who wriggles up out of a tube of Brylcreem in the classic Sixties TV commercial that’s considered one of the best television ads ever made.Įva’s most recent acting job was in a 2016 TV commercial for Campbell’s Soup. It’s a fun action romp shot in Australia that you can watch on YouTube. In the latter, also called THAT WOMAN FROM PEKING, she co-starred with Carl Betz, Nancy Kwan and Bobby Rydell under her birth name name Eva von Feilitz. She was also in many plays and in two movies, THE HYPNOTIC EYE (1960) and THAT LADY FROM PEKING (1975). She appeared in episodes of a number of popular variety and drama TV shows in the ‘50s and ‘60s, including THE STEVE ALLEN SHOW, THE GARRY MOORE SHOW, THE THIN MAN, PETER GUNNand THE TEXAN, and in some later shows, like HOGANS HEROESand CAGNEY & LACEY.

She often posed for Al and Norm with their favorite male model, the legendary Steve Holland.
