#18: Margaret Hamilton, from Wicked Witch to Coffee Maven
Margaret Hamilton is widely recognized for her iconic portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the West in “The Wizard of Oz,” a role that has left an indelible mark on popular culture. However, in a delightful turn, Hamilton also found herself charming audiences in a different role during the 1970s.
As Cora in Maxwell House’s coffee commercials, she showcased a warm and inviting persona, offering a stark contrast to her menacing character from Oz. Hamilton’s versatility as an actress allowed her to captivate viewers in both roles, demonstrating her ability to bring depth and charisma to any character she portrayed.
