It is Linda in the Laurent champagne commercial (just in case the fuzzy footage left any doubt). Apparently it made news at some point when they shot it, because this photographe popped up, with caption:

The little blurb says 1973, though, which puts it wayyy before TNA's inception some time in 1975. Is the information inaccurate, or did TNA not come together as quickly as we've been led to believe?

I don't think it's as early as 1973 as Patrick was still favouring a longer hairstyle and sideburns then. All previous info has said the ad was filmed in 1975 - I'm happy to go with that.

Linda looks a bit spooky in that pic!

It may be just a misprint. The blurb says it was five years since they'd worked together, too, and the math doesn't add up. It probably was '75. I was just surprised to see any photographic evidence that it got publicity back when it was made.

SOUNDS like a date problem...heck, for yrs, I could never get a proper time for that photo session, and whether or not, it got the Avengers
back in production..but eventually, it was a different Avengers...
