Also I didn't know it at the time I made the post, but there's a whole wikipedia page about the Kodak Girl. I'm off to read it now! It has a few other examples.
These are really cool!! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome. I also found this, after I made the main post. Kodak Girl has got a pretty comprehensive wikipedia page -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak_Girl
