Encyclopedic overview
Edie Adams (born Edith Elizabeth Enke; April 16, 1927 – October 15, 2008) was an American comedian, actress, singer and businesswoman who was prominent in the second half of the 1900s. She earned a Tony Award and was nominated for an Emmy Award.
Adams was well known for her impersonations of sexy stars on stage and television, especially Marilyn Monroe. She was the frequent television partner of Ernie Kovacs, her husband, whose death in 1962 left Adams deeply in debt. Paying off the financial burden, she continued her successful show business career for over four more decades on stage, television and in films including It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, and was the pitchlady for Muriel Cigars for 20 years. Adams also founded two beauty businesses: Edie Adams Cosmetics and Edie Adams Cut 'n' Curl.
