R.I.P. Mr Clean
The Associated Press: Obituaries in the news
House Peters Jr. LOS ANGELES (AP) — House Peters Jr., a TV actor who became the original Mr. Clean in Procter & Gamble's commercials for household cleaners, has died. He was 92. Peters died Wednesday of pneumonia at the Motion Picture and Television Fund Hospital in Los Angeles, said his son, Jon Peters. 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 helped advertise the famous household cleaner with the trademark jingle, "Mr. Clean, Mr. Clean." He played many supporting roles through his career, including working with Roy Rogers and Gene Autry on their television shows. He also appeared in "Perry Mason," "Gunsmoke," "The Twilight Zone" and "Lassie." Peters' acting career spanned 1935-1967, according to his Web site. He also wrote an autobiography, "Another Side of Hollywood," in which he describes growing up the son of an actress and silent film actor in Beverly Hills. His father, Robert House Peters Sr., has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. hxxp://tinyurl.com/479slk4
