Rosebud?

Orson Welles for Paul Masson California Champagne (VIA Eyebeam reBlog)
This one was news to me, although I've heard the frozen pea commercial plenty of times in the past. Ironic, given the volume and depth of the body of his work that for many, what we remember about Orson Welles would be his commercials and their out-takes. It's kinda like that family portrait when Uncle George blinks as the picture is taken, and years after he's passed on, that's how he is remembered. Now there's an uplifting thought; after you are gone you'll be thought of (if at all) at your worst moment. Perhaps, in a bizarre way there is an inspirational message in this after-all.

I, like Paul Masson will serve no links before their time...But it's time:

That's true. Hadn't thought about it for awhile, but that probably IS what he'll be remembered for.
