After initially working as a model, Chase came to public attention in the mid-1970s when she began appearing in television adverts for Campari. The comical adverts were filmed in exotic locations with Chase having drinks with an elegant, sophisticated gentleman suitor played by Jeremy Clyde. Upon his romantic question "Were you truly wafted here from paradise?", Chase would declare in her broadest south east London accent "Nah, Luton Airport!" The line became something of a catchphrase and inspired the 1979 hit record "Luton Airport" by Cats U.K. Contrary to public belief, Chase was not involved with the record in any way, though she did make a novelty record of her own in 1979, entitled "It's Nice 'Ere, Innit" (also based on a line from another one of her Campari ads). However, this was unsuccessful. In 2009, the Campari ad featuring Chase was placed 41st in Channel 4's 100 Greatest TV Adverts.In total, we tracked 132 items since 01/09/2012.
