TO HAL BATES FROM BEVERLY SANDERS
"To Hal / You're wonderful / Hope to work with you again / Love / Beverly Sanders."
Beverly Sanders (born September 2, 1940) is an American actress, comedian, and voice artist. She was born in Hollywood, California.
Sanders studied acting in New York with Lee Strasberg's Actor Studio. Married to a studio bass musician, Beverly's adopted daughter is named Laura.
Sanders, who often plays the stereotypical blonde and nice moms and girlfriends to the stars, especially on TV, occasionally supported both Mary Tyler Moore and Valerie Harper in their respective sitcoms and in several TV movies with Moore.
She also starred in her own one-woman show on stage entitled Yes Sir, That's My Baby in the late 90s. She began writing the play after taking a UCLA writing class. The show details her failure to conceive a baby at 40+ years of age, and then the later frustrations of the adoption process.
Sanders, who has appeared in over 300 commercials, is best recognized as the ever-pleasant Louise in the Arm & Hammer Baking Soda spokesperson for nearly a decade.
