Description: Here is the shorter, 10 second version of the Chicago Heart Association public service annoucement featuring Carleton the Mime. I think it's kind of ironic that the mime's name is very similar to a popular brand of cigarettes. ;-)
There is also a longer and medium length version of this PSA.
I vividly remember these, and I think they were very effective. The scene where he's having a heart attack and clutching his chest in the other versions is still pretty disturbing.
I also love the music in these. :-)
This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, December 21st 1979.
