Orville Redenbacher |
|
Orville Redenbacher was an American businessman who
produced Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn.
He was a popcorn innovator who perfected a fluffier
hybrid popcorn, and became a familiar television personality
in the U.S. as the folksy TV spokesman for his Gourmet
Popping Corn. He was also a writer who saw his Orville
Redenbacher's Popcorn Book published in 1984. Orville
Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn remains one of the
leading brands among microwave popcorns.
After selling his popcorn business to Hunt-Wesson
Inc. in 1976, he and his wife, Nina, moved to
California. Redenbacher's first wife Corinne
died in 1971. He was survived by two daughters,
Gail Tuminello, and Billie Ann Atwood.
