New Hefty Commercial

Hi there!

I just shot a new Hefty commercial. Hefty makes trash bags, as we all know, but this commercial was for their zip lock storage bags. It’s so cute. Imagine me and a couple of girl friends putting away our left over food, and we’re standing around the kitchen having a “Sex and the City” kind of sassy, frank conversation about our Hefty bags. It starts out with us putting food in the bags, and I say, “If I had a man like Hefty, he’d be strong, stronger than ever.” And I turn and put the food into the freezer. At that point we dissolve into a fantasy of me in an Ice Palace with a beautiful Chrystal Chandlier, rolling clouds surrounding my feet, and there I am with this 20 something handsome hunk with a V shaped body, open shirt, blue eyes…you get the picture. He twirls me around and dips me, we almost kiss, then he picks me up and carries me off like Rhett Butler and Scarlet O’Hara.

When I was done shooting, the producer said, “OK, Maggie, that’s a wrap, you can go now.” I screamed in desperation, “No, you can’t make me leave!” I laughed so hard with my two actress girlfriends, Rosalee Mayieux and Nancy Williams. What a blast!

I’d love it if you guys would jot down the time, the date and the channel (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.) when you see my commercial and email me the information. Believe it or not, the residual payments I make as an actress on commercials is monitored by people hired to sit in a room and watch TV who mark down that information. Sounds like a cushy job, huh? But… a bit antiquated, if you ask me. So, any and all information is very much appreciated.

With thanks,
Maggie Egan
