Jan Miner, stage actress who gained fame as Madge, the manicurist in Palmolive television ads
Her most famous role, however, although she never achieved name recognition, is probably as the Emerald City manicurist in The Wizard of Oz who sings to Dorothy that "we can make a dimpled smile out of a frown" and, later in the same film, as the woman holding a cat which causes Toto to jump out of the hot air balloon just before it departs leaving Dorothy apparently stranded.
In the 1990s Brieffies retired from the music industry and became a qualified manicurist/pedicurist, before reuniting with the Dolly Dots in 2007 for a comeback tour which included three concerts to sell-out audiences of 10,000 at the Ahoy Arena in Rotterdam.
