- The late Jimmy Dean (1928-2010) …he would have been 92(FAST FACTS: He founded the Jimmy Dean Sausage Company with his brother Don in 1969. The company did well, in part because of Dean's own commercials. In fact, the company’s success led to its acquisition in 1984 by Consolidated Foods – later renamed the Sara Lee Corporation. Here’s where it gets funky. Dean stayed on as spokesperson for the company, but the new corporation immediately began phasing him out of any management duties. The ultimate kick in the teeth? Sara Lee dumped him as the spokesman for the sausage brand in 1994 – because he was too old).
