To begin with, the girl with her sister were raised in Menlo Park by their parents, who worked as a therapist and a computer market researcher; unfortunately their parents divorced when Courtney was seven. She was educated at Menlo Atherton High School in Atherton, California and Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley, California. While still at high school, she starred in the Ensemble Theater Company in Mill Valley.
Concerning her professional career, Courtney Thorne Smith became famous after landing the role of Alison Parker in the soap opera “Melrose Place”. Her rivalry with Amanda (portrayed by Heather Locklear) and the flagship couple with Billy (portrayed by Andrew Shue) have made the character of Alison one of the pillars in the series. In 1997, after five years of loyal service portraying the alcoholic victim, Courtney decided to change course, and re-appeared on the screen starring in one of the most popular American series “Ally McBeal” (1997 – 2000), playing Georgia, the wife of Billy and a childhood friend of Ally, respectively working with Gil Bellows and Calista Flockhart, for which with the ensemble cast, Smith won a Screen Actors Guild Award. Her net worth was rising steadily.
The year 2000 was again a turning point in the career of Courtney – she left the series to star in a new comedy for ABC, “According to Jim” with Jim Belushi in the lead role. After successful eight seasons, the series ended in 2009, partly due to the fact that the two main actresses have fallen pregnant. In 2010, Courtney returned to the screen in the popular series “Two and a Half Men”, from the seventh season playing the recurring role of Lyndsey Mackelroy, sustainable small friend of Alan Harper, brother of Charlie Harper. In 2015, the above mentioned series ended.
Talking about her career on the big screen, it should be mentioned that Courtney starred alongside Mariska Hargitay in the feature film “Welcome to 18” (1986) by Terry Carr. Afterwards she starred in the films “Lucas” (1986), “Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise” (1987), “Summer School” (1987) and “Side Out” (1990). The actress voiced Shiho Tsukishima in the animated film “Whisper of the Heart” (1995), and Catwoman in “Batman: New Times” (2005). In addition to this, she landed lead roles in the comedy films co-written and directed by Michael Goldberg “The Lovemaster” (1997), and was directed by Alex Zamm in “Chairman of the Board” (1998). To summarise, all the aforementioned roles on television and in films have added sums to the total size of Courtney Thorne Smith’ net worth.
Finally, in the personal life of the actress, Smith has married twice, firstly to geneticist Andrew Conrad (2000 – 2001), and then in 2007 she married Roger Fishman, with whom she has a son Jacob.

Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.
Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos. In 2001 she was a part of the music video for the Carl Thomas song “Emotional”, and in 2004 she appeared alongside Kanye West in the music video for his single “All Falls Down.” At the same time Dash continued to have a successful film career with movies “American Primitive”, “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, “Nora’s Hair Salon II”, “Ghost Image” and “Fashion Victim”. She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.
Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.
In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06).
