The diminutive former Chicago beauty-shop owner stands to get an as yet unnegotiated percentage of the profits from licensed items that bear her likeness. She has already completed a West Coast promotional tour and appeared on Today, Good Morning America and Entertainment Tonight. So far Peller has received more than 600 fan letters, and a Clara Peller fan club is being planned...
