Loretta Lynn & The Crisco Commercials!

Loretta became the spokesperson for Crisco in 1979. She would film the commercials in her own kitchen at that mansion on her ranch at Hurricane Mills, TN. In fact, they added a kitchen just to film the commercials in. You'll see in the later 80s commercials that the kitchen changed, that's because Doo remodeled the pool house behind the mansion and they moved into the smaller home after the twins were grown and moved out. She filmed commercials with them through the 1980s, as I found them through 1987. They even sponsored one of her world tours in the 1980s. When she won those 17 blue ribbons at the state fair in Washington state for her canning abilities, one of the prizes was a big can of Crisco. It was in the picture that was found of her at the fair as the winner. They claim that's why she was asked to be the Crisco spokesperson. Her and the girls (Cissie & the twins) and Doo really loved making the commercials. She even said, in a book, the twins saved up their money they made from the commercials and bought their first cars. This is a compilation video of some of those infamous Crisco commericals, some of the commericals may be repeats but it's still great.

Loretta Lynn was a country music legend responsible for country music hits such as "Coal Miner's Daughter," "Honky Tonk Girl" and more, but the singer-songwriter also lent her bubbly Southern personality to a collection of commercials for Crisco shortening throughout the 1980s. The Hurricane Mills, Tennessee artist became the spokeswoman for Crisco in 1979 and a slew of TV commercials featuring her down home, Southern cooking followed. The now-retro ads often showed scenes of Lynn enjoying her famous pie, fried chicken, or cake with her husband Doo, her children and her grandchildren. Lynn's family members were always over the moon with her cooking and baking skills in the ads, and Lynn would explain that Crisco was the reason for her food's delectable taste and texture. Lynn would often end the commercials with the tag line, "Crisco will do you proud every time," while smiling into the camera.
One of Lynn's memorable commercials showed the Kentucky-born superstar pulling up to a feast of fried chicken on the farm. While chatting with her happy guests, Lynn explained that Crisco was responsible for the "Crisco crunch" of the fried chicken. In other Loretta Lynn Crisco ads, she praised the shortening for creating the perfect, flaky pie crust. In another ad, Lynn's daughter brings home a love interest who is instantly impressed by Lynn's baking. Lynn often mentioned that Crisco was responsible for her "blue ribbon cooking" and she and her husband even showcased the 17 blue ribbons she won at the state fair back when they lived in Washington state.
