Celebrities Washing Machines

[aquarius1984]

A few years ago in one of my Mums Take A Break magazines they used to have a weekly look at celebrities homes, not A listers but regular celebs,

One week Sam Fox featured and it showed her in the kitchen.
She had a White Creda Supaspeed washer.

Not long after Cheryl Baker was in and she had a White 95 series Aquarius.

Recently Anthea Turner on that programme "Perfect Housewife' (if that is her own mansion and not rented for the programme) she has a Miele washer and dryer.

Anne Widdecombe has a Hoover Performa and a 3kg White Knight dryer

When Justin and Colin madeover Christine Hamiltons kitchen I noticed she had a Hoover washer similar to a Performa.

Clarrissa Dickson-Wright (the surviving half of the 2 fat ladies) has a Bosch from about 1998 or so.

Does anyone else know of celebrities washer choices?

In the Superman DVDs-season 5 and 6-Jim Olson gets a chemestry set and is using it in the basement of his home-in the background you see a pink Hamilton WD set.In other episodes-Sunbeam Mixmasters are seen in the kitchens-esp of one of the bad guys.

I think it was last year that somebody sold an electronic Amana set on eBay that was supposedly owned by Elton John. Here's a picture of the washer.

And a picture of the dryer.

Doesn't Sir Elton live mostly in Atlanta these days? I have never seen Amana's that look like these do. Are these UK models?

 

[toggleswitch]

Confusing. The hot water heater and its energy label guide appear to be of US vintage/variety

IIRC, those electronic Amanas were from Elton's home in Atlanta, and were "rarely used," per the eBay listing.

Those Amanas are U.S. machines from the very early 90s (maybe even late 80s?). Amanas are fairly common in this area (we must have big distributors here or something) and you still see models from that vintage from time to time, although most have the rotary dials.

I forgot to add to my post above that several years ago I had a friend who worked with the actress Bess Armstrong (she played the mom in "My So-Called Life,"). I got to go to Bess' house in about 1992, and she had a set of center-dial Maytags in white. I also went to the actor Jay Thomas' house, and they had a Montgomery Wards set in almond. It looked like it was from the mid-1980s.

IIRC the Amana set was sold by somebody from Atlanta.

I know that the Brady's had a Green Belt driven Whirlpool set, Wonder Woman was walking through a Speed Queen laundry mat as Diana Prince, talking about how she was a do it your selver when it comes to cleaning and laundry circa 1977, Of course , Rosanne had Gold center dial Maytags for the first few seasons before one day they mysteriously became I-18 in the same color, On the Torkelsons, there was a center dial Kenmore set that she cemented in the basement floor so that the repo man could not take them. Does anyone know what kind of machines they had on Absolutely Fabulous? I thought that it looked like an Equator Wash/dry, but now that I am more familliar with European machines, I am not so sure.

All I know is that Mariah Carey has a Fridgemore set... i was watchin the show Cribs one time, I dunno about anyone else.... lol

Guy Pearce had an early-90's direct-drive Whirlpool that was advertised on eBay recently.

And one of us bought Elton John's old Amanas! Even if it wasn't verified that they were his set, I would have gone for them anyway because of the electronic controls and "vertical" control panel...cool machines.

A couple of years ago ...

I saw an interview and house tour with Carol Burnett on the House and Garden Network. (Carol had just moved to New Mexico.) The tour included the laundry room. She had a matching Maytag set.

On "The Real World" on MTV they once had an episode with Jessica Simpson where she is in the laundry room and they had Maytag Atlantis pair in the background. She is exasperated, saying "I can't figure out how to do the laundry"!

 

[irishwashguy]

Nick ( who is OMG so very, very, very, Very, Very Hot, Hot,

Payed the maid 120 dollars to wash all of their laundry to restore peace and clean clothes when Jessica had her fit and threw them over the side. I would have done Nicks laundry for free You are right,it was an Atlantis---they also had a KitchenAid dishwasher.
