'70s Commercial

There was a commercial that ran for a short time that had a jungle setting. This was in the early to mid '70s. In it there was a girl who dove into the water. Naked. Just a flash as she went by. Then you saw underwater views where she came swimming by, and she was sort of a silhouette, almost like it was an opening to a Bond film. i can't begin to remember the product, but I believe it was some sort of product for personal hygene....maybe shampoo? I thought of Herbal Essence, but I don't think that's it.

I am in the Washington DC area, if that helps.

She doesn't dive in, but here is a 70s Herbal Essences commercial with naked girl in jungle and then water...

Thank you, keybored for your effort, but the commercial I am referring to is not animated.
It is real life video. That made it a little shocking to me, and I wondered how they got away with having it on TV at that time.

Take Care!

Are you sure it wasn't just your imagination bringing it to life... ;)

Ha! I do have a good one, but I am pretty sure it was real.

I'm almost certain that all of the Herbal Essence commercials of the early to mid 70s were this same animated jungle girl because their logo on every bottle back then was that very same cartoon jungle girl character. But the modern ones are live action.

Of course it could be a different product.

That's what I was thinking. It didn't run that long. Especially not long enough for me! My kingdom for a VCR back then. LOL

I'm so glad I found this place. I was lost without IMDB's boards. I couldn't believe they did that to all of us!

Yes, it's great to have somewhere else to discuss and find information out and the same layout is great too as it is nice and simple.
