Through an AW friend who left his phone number at a used appliance store in Burbank, a woman working on a new show for CBS contacted me looking for a 1963 washer & dryer (Thanks for the referral Dave!). Long story shorter, I ended up selling my Sunny Yellow 1964 Maytag A702 & DE750 pair to them, as they said they needed them more than 6 months. Justin in Phoenix was able to get in on this as they purchased a Kitchenaid KDS-15 dishwasher from him for this show too.
Fast forward to about 2 months ago, another woman from the set decoration department for the same show reached out asking of I have any coin-operated washing machines from the early 60's. I told her "I don't, but I do have 2 coin-op washers from the very early 50's" and sent photos of my bolt-down Westinghouse Laundromats. She absolutely loved them and.... l<span style="font-size: 12pt;">ong story shorter again... they rented both of them (one fully functional) for 2 weeks! Thank you to Thomas for coming over to help me work on it a few evenings to make sure it was fully functioned before pick up! (side note, thanks to his tachometer, we discovered the spin is a whopping 368 rpm!) </span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">What is the show? It's called Why Women Kill, starring Ginnfer Goodwin, Lucy Liu, among others and unfortunately will only be aired on their "CBS All Access" streaming service, starting this Wednesday, the 15th.</span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Synopsis: </span><span style="font-family: MaisonNeue-Book, 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12pt;">'Why Women Kill', a darkly comedic drama, details the lives of three women living in three different decades: a housewife in the '60s, a socialite in the ‘80s and a lawyer in 2019, each dealing with infidelity in their marriages. The series will examine how the roles of women have changed, but how their reaction to betrayal... has not.</span>
I'm told they went to the smallest detail to get the look right for the 1963 house and based on the few brief shots of it in the trailer below, it looks like they did. I assume the 1963 set will only be in 1/3 of the show at the very most, so I doubt the appliances will get much screen time. Regardless, the show looks good and I'm hoping to find a way to watch it!
