What former Miss Deaf America appeared in an acclaimed aspirin commerical?

Answer:
Jackie Roth, actress, producer, and Deaf advocate, starred as a Deaf teacher in a 30-second spot for Bayer Aspirin in 1995. Her monologue was done in fluent ASL with subtitles, and was well-received by both deaf and hearing viewers. As Roth gaily observed, “Some people call me ‘the Bayer girl.’” One hearing viewer noted that she particularly enjoyed this commercial because it lacked noise—one of the more exasperating aspects of TV commercials aimed at the mainstream market.
