She began her career in television working with comedian Ernie Kovacs. They married on September 12, 1954 and remained together until his death on January 13, 1962. Kovacs was a noted cigar smoker, and Edie did TV commercials for Muriel Cigars, with the somewhat racy line at the time "Why don't you pick me up and smoke me some time?"
