| NEW YORK, April 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The no-fuss cosmetic company, Almay, has signed TV actress Courtney Thorne-Smith, co-star of the critically acclaimed Fox series ``Ally McBeal.'' Beginning in April, Thorne-Smith will represent Almay's new product, Skin Stays Clean in an extensive print and television campaign. 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.
