What was the women's name that was know as the '; Revlon Girl '; on the Ed Sullivan show????

Barbara Britton. She had, in the early years, been anchoring nine commercials a week: three each on The $64,000 Question, The $64,000 Challenge, and The Walter Winchell File. Models would play out the scenes in the ads, but she did all the talking. In her busiest year she earned $130,000 鈥?more than twice what the president of TWA was making. Her work load diminished after the quiz-show era passed, and when taped commercials replaced live. But her famous line 鈥?';If it's the finest of its kind it's by Revlon 鈥?Revlon London, Paris and New York' 鈥?opened The Ed Sullivan Show week after week. ';And now here's the star of our show,'; she would continue, a gracious version of jolly Ed McMahon, ';Ed Sullivan?'
