Studied philosophy in college in the 1960s and she had his first book. We used to talk about the content.
And I recognized that voiceover in that commercial but I was having trouble placing it. 
Haven't heard the voice in some time.
About eight or nine years ago I met Watts' eldest daughter, just as she was beginning to work on the book with his letters. She just passed away last month. She was a painter and avid flyfishing lady who loved Montana and was a donating Democrat. She was a grand lady without the pomp. Didn't know her really well but I liked and respected her and was thankful she took time to visit with me when the opportunity arose. I was more friends with her husband, a musician and movie industry retiree, but that was also more of an acquaintance though he did hold on to my instruments at their home while I was homeless.
One of my favorite Alan Watts talks was the one where he instructs us to never even look at a teevee.
