Wherever Ali Landry pops up, there's water involved. The 24-year-old
Cajun was raised in seaside Breaux Bridge, La., the Crawfish Capital
of the World. Once she was all grown-up in an orange one-piece
swimsuit, she paddled off with the Miss USA 1996 crown.
She has even done some laps on TV in what else other than Sunset
Beach, and her tidal turn on the small screen took place in a
laundromat. During last January's Super Bowl, she wiped out viewers
in an ad for Doritos Puffs: Two cool dudes try to impress her with
their prowess at catching the chips in their mouths, but Landry, who
studied tap, ballet, and gymnastics for 15 years, outdoes them with
a series of splits and leaps performed with a man-melting smile.
Her commercial costar Sean P. Hayes says, "We were shooting all
day, and a lot of Doritos were consumed. I've never seen anyone look
better with orange powder on her face."
The 5'8" Landry, who lives in L.A. and dates Phoenix Cardinals
quarterback Stoney Case, still can't believe her impact. "It's
absolutely crazy," she says, citing her imperfect vision
("I'm almost blind without my glasses"), and her bunions
(she kept her favorite tennis shoes through a growth spurt).
Even her best beauty secret is low-priced. "I buy this
teeth-bleaching stuff at Target and do it myself," she says.
Her former apartment mate Brian Edwards swears it works: "When
Ali smiled, I would say, 'Stop it, you're blinding me!'"
