How many "stars" are shilling for Diet 7-Up? (1981)

I've heard of being the life of the party, but this is the grand prize.

Impressionists Rich Little & Marilyn Michaels (and a few friends) star in this spot for Diet 7-Up. Rich is doing Cary Grant, Jack Lemmon (I think), Groucho Marx, and Humphrey Bogart. Marilyn is Mae West, but I'm not sure about the others.



I'm not sure if they'd did anything together aside from The Kopykats before this. Probably did.

MM as Barbra Streisand

RL as Groucho Marx
MM as Zsa Zsa Gabor

Addendum:

RL as Bogart
MM as Bacall

(OK, that last was a guess ...)

Thanks, Mike, I wasn't sure about Rich's 2nd voice, and should've figured on Marilyn doing Bacall opposite Bogey. But Zsa Zsa without the heavy accent?

MM#3 might have been Eva ...

Recall that by 1981, the Gabor Family Dialect had gotten worn down a ways ...

Hmmm, that does make sense.
