The first one is Vanessa Williams, the second Faye Dunaway, and the fourth (at the end) is Cindy Crawford. Who the heck is the third one? She says, “I’m a friend”. She looks familiar and she’s cute, but in a very generic, non-glamourous kind of way. ---

Are you talking about Lauren Hutton? ---

No, she’s maybe in her 30s with darkish hair. ---

I believe it’s Alexandra Paul if I am remembering the same commercial. Does anyone actually receive this channel? ---

I don’t think the channel has been launched yet. Ok, not to besmirch her career or anything, but after checking her IMDB listing, ah, how famous is she? It looks like guesting on Baywatch is about the biggest thing she’s done. Or did I miss something. ---

Alexandra Paul had a regular role on “Baywatch”. The show was on a long time. I think she later appeared as a guest from time to time. Since “Baywatch” had a very big following all over the world, she could be considered an actress of some celebrity. I believe she also has competed in the Ironman Triathlon. I would assume that she would have a lot of fan websites. ---

I haven’t seen the commercial, so I can’t say whether the person is in fact Alexandra Paul. But I have to point out that all lovers of bad movies know her as the Virgin Connie Swail from the awful _Dragnet_. ---
