Actress Jodie Foster made her TV debut in a Coppertone commercial as a toddler on a boat with her family. She'd go on to hawk toothpaste and the GAF View Master, a kind of stripped down, pre-Internet pictorial experience (see below). But of course, the versatile actress went on to a sparkling movie career that has included "Taxi Driver" and "Silence of the Lambs" and has earned her two Academy Awards. So child pitchmen sometimes go on to great things on the screen.
