Those were different times, of course. But the idea that a single pill might turn back the clock quickly caught the popular imagination. It didn't hurt that the hormone's No. 1 manufacturer, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, launched an aggressive marketing campaign. Thank goodness today's spots have been updated to feature the dulcet tones of singer Patti LaBelle and have abandoned patronizing messages like the one in a 1975 ad--"Almost any tranquilizer might calm her down...but at her age, estrogen may be what she really needs...

"I've been doing this since 9 o'clock in the morning, and here comes this broad through the door again." It's very, very difficult to turn it off and start it up again. When I'm directing, the day goes much quicker...
