Beer In Ads #2562: My Beer Is Rheingold Says Joan Fontaine

February 25, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is for Rheingold, from 1949. In the 1940s and 1950s, Rheingold recruited a number of prominent celebrities to do ads for them, all using the tagline: “My beer is Rheingold — the Dry beer!” In this ad, it features British-American actress Joan Fontaine. “Fontaine appeared in more than 45 feature films in a career that spanned five decades. She was the younger sister of actress Olivia de Havilland.” In this ad, Fontaine admits that when she gives a party, she loves compliments, and that’s why she always serves “everyone’s favorite beer, Rheingold Extra Dry.
