ALI LANDRY
Landry was born on July 21, 1973, in the "Crawfish Capital of the World," Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. She majored in Mass Communications at the University of Southwestern Louisiana and is an avid athlete. A trained gymnast, Landry once ran the Boston Marathon for charity with ex-husband Mario Lopez. She has been named one of People Magazine's 50 most beautiful people and has been featured in the 100 sexiest women lists of FHM and Stuff magazines. She also appeared on a charity episode of Fear Factor in March 2002.Ali Landry broke onto the scene and gained instant fame as "the Doritos Girl", when she was featured in a commercial for Frito Lay during the 1998 Super Bowl telecast. The next day, the NY Post hailed in a cover story "A star was born during Super bowl XXXII". Later that year, she was named one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful".
1996 was a good year for actress/model Ali Landry. The 5' 8" brown-eyed brunette won her state's beauty pageant and went on to win the Miss USA pageant that same year. She also finished in the top six of the Miss Universe contest. A favorite of many young men, the 36C-24-34 natural beauty is also an aspiring actress. Her biggest claim to fame as an actress remains to be a Doritos ad campaign in which she played the hogtie walking through a library with a bag of the nacho chips, setting off the fire sprinklers as she passed dumbfounded onlookers. Since then Landry has moved on to a few minor acting roles, mainly in B-list television. To her credit, she has played Rita on the UPN series "Eve," Kenzie on the short-lived NBC soap "Sunset Beach" and Teri on the Naval drama "Pensacola- Wings of Gold."
