Early life

During the 1980s she appeared on over 500 magazine covers, becoming one the most famous models of her era. Alt was referred to as "The Face" by Life Magazine. During the height of her popularity, she was the face of ad campaigns for Diet Pepsi, General Motors, Cover Girl Cosmetics, Noxzema, Hanes and numerous others. She was the first model to produce her own posters and calendars.citation needed As the eighties were winding down, Alt switched from fashion modeling to acting.

In 2004, she had a starring role in a Canadian movie Snakehead Terror. She also played "Karen Oldham" in the TV adaptation of Peter Benchley's "Amazon" (1999). She has also had a few minor television roles, including one episode of Wings and a voice role in an episode of King of the Hill.
