Ali Landry - Miss USA 1996


Ali Landry was named Miss USA of 1996 and later went on to co-host the TV series America's Greatest Pets. Her popularity soared when she appeared in a 1998 Super Bowl commercial for Doritos snack chips, then appeared in other ads as the "Doritos Girl." People magazine named her one of 1998's 50 Most Beautiful People. She later made appearances on TV shows including Malcolm and Eddie (1999) and Felicity (2000, starring Keri Russell), and had roles in the movies Outta Time (2002) and Bella (2006).




Extra credit: Landry was Miss Louisiana before she was Miss USA... Landry married former Saved By the Bell star Mario Lopez in April of 2004; the couple separated the next month. She married director Alejandro Gomez Monteverde in April of 2006... Landry's name sometimes leads to confusion with actress Ali Larter.


She is from the southwestern region of Louisiana, also referred to as Acadiana; this area is known as the heart of Cajun country.



# Married film director Alejandro Gomez Monteverde on April 08, 2006 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

# Ended her two-week marriage to Mario Lopez after she learned that Lopez was cheating on her. (2004).
