Blonde bombshell, Tony Award winner, and all around awesome gal, Edie Adams passed away this week at the age of 81.

Adams attended Juliard and Columbia, and debuted on the Milton Berle show after the “Miss U.S. Television” beauty contest. During her long career, Adams appeared on television in the final episode of I Love Lucy, on Broadway in L’il Abner and on the silver screen in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Here she is in the role that made her famous: cigar girl for Muriel Cigars.

RIP, Mrs. Adams.
