This article is about the TV network and channel. [3]

Ali Landry was named Miss USA of 1996 and later went on to co-host the TV series America’s Greatest Pets. [1]

Born July 21, 1973 in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, Ali Landry is the epitome of the small town girl that has found glamour, fame, and fortune in the big city. [2]

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 and divorced. [1]

Her first taste of the limelight came in the pageant world when she was crowned Miss Louisiana Teen USA in 1990. [3]

Though Ali Landry has many film and television credits to her name, she is possibly best known as the “Doritos Girl,” in reference to the sexy and sultry character she played in a Doritos commercial which first aired during the 1998 Super Bowl. [2]

Also in 1998, People magazine named Ali as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world. [3]

She represented Louisiana in the 1990 Miss Teen USA pageant held in Biloxi, Mississippi in July 1990, where she placed first in the preliminary swimsuit and evening gown competitions, but was ranked seventh during the final competition and couldn’t reach the final 6. [...] She married director Alejandro Gomez Monteverde in April of 2006… Landry’s name sometimes leads to confusion with actress Ali Larter. [1]

She is the first former Miss Teen USA delegate to actually win the Miss USA crown (her predecessor Shanna Moakler, previously Miss Rhode Island Teen USA, Miss New York USA and first runner-up to Miss USA Chelsi Smith, only inherited the title after Smith became Miss Universe). [4]

In addition to these accolades, the steamy actress who is said to resemble a young Rita Hayworth has also been named on many of the “hottest” lists in Hollywood. [2]

When she came back for another run in 1995, Ali Landry won the Miss Louisiana USA 1996 title, making her the Louisiana representative to compete in the 1996 Miss USA pageant. [3]

She married film director Alejandro Gomez Monteverde on April 8, 2006 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. [1]

She was named by People magazine as one of the hottest 50 people in the world, was ranked in the 100 Sexiest Women in the World by FHM, and found herself ranked at number 11 in the 25 Sexiest Women of 2003 by E!. [...] And it is not only their private lives which are intermingling, as Ali will appear in the film “Bella,” which Monteverde wrote, directed and produced. [...] Apart from the wedding date and venue there is no other information shared about the celebrity wedding with the media. [2]
