Virginia Christine was an American stage, radio, film, television, and voice actress. Though Christine had a long career as a character actress in film and television, she may be best remembered as "Mrs. Olson" in a string of television commercials for Folgers Coffee during the 1960s and 1970s.
"It was during the war, and they thought Kraft was too Teutonic, and they said I would be compared to Kraft cheese if I were bad."
"I used to buy whatever was on sale, now it is always Folger’s. Think what would happen at the checkout counter if I bought something else."
"They consider me a friend, it shows in their faces, and I’m a sucker for that."
"I’d done commercials before, you had to smile and be phony, and that’s not my style. The spot was created to be warm and homey, to lend itself to realism. That’s important to me."
