Clara Peller (August 4, 1903 - August 11, 1987) was an American senior citizen who starred in the legendary "Where's the beef" advertisement for Wendy's Restaurant.
The line Clara spoke became famous for became an instant catch-phrase, with even presidential candidate Walter Mondale using it.
Her role with the Wendy's company came to an abrupt end after she appeared in a dog food ad, proudly proclaiming "I found the beef!"
She starred in the low-rated, low-budget 1985 Neal Israel comedy, Moving Violations, along side John Murray, Sally Kellerman, Fred Willard and Jennifer Tilly, where she played a haphazard driver needing to renew her license at traffic school.
She died at age 84.
