    Noted for her girl-next-door beauty, Thorne-Smith represents the look of
the new breakthrough line, Almay Foundation Skin Stays Clean.  Its patented
"Clean Pore Complex" actually keeps dirt and oil out of pores, so your skin
feels fresh and clean all day.  Almay believes women want to look great
without a lot of fuss, which is why all of its products offer multi benefits.
Plus, easy-to-wear shades are categorized for Blondes, Brunettes and Auburns,
with universal shades for everyone.
    "We are excited to welcome Courtney to the Almay family," said Kathy
Dwyer, President, Revlon Consumer Products, U.S.A.  "Her fresh-face and
no-nonsense approach to beauty appeals to every woman in the same way that
Almay does."
    Best known for her role as Georgia, Ally's reluctant nemesis and fellow
attorney in the Golden Globe winning series, the California native has quickly
become one of television's most popular and recognized actresses.  Before
starring on Ally, Thorne-Smith lived in the crazy apartment complex, "Melrose
Place" and also had a recurring role on the hit series "LA Law."
    Of her new role as an Almay spokesperson, joining Karen Duffy and Vendela,
Thorne-Smith says, "I am thrilled.  Almay appeals to the 'clean freak' in me.
The products are all about creating a healthy, fresh look without a lot of
fuss.  Busy lifestyles call for easy-to-use products and Almay delivers."
    ALMAY, a division of Revlon Consumer Products Corporation, is available at
drug and mass merchandisers nationwide.  All ALMAY products are
hypo-allergenic and fragrance free.
