Real Name: Stephanie Courtney
Salary Deal: $8 million
With a grating, draining, plastic, and fake upbeat attitude offset by an outdated hairdo and garish red lipstick, Stephanie Courtney has been annoying the people of the world as ham alien Flo from Progressive for years. She’s been in one hundred different commercials so far, though who could have been able to tell? They’re all the exact same thing. She even has an Australian counterpart to spread the disease further: Kitty, played by actress Holly Austin.
She has received eight million dollars in salary, though Progressive charges so much for car insurance that’s probably nothing. Courtney has also appeared in Mad Men, Cavemen, Men of a Certain Age, and The Goldbergs.

The 90's Pepsi Girl
Real Name : Hallie Kate Eisenberg
Salary Deal: $1 million
If Hallie's name seems familiar, that's because she's the sister of the famous actor, Jesse Eisenberg. Hallie played Little Amanda Martin AKA the Pepsi Girl, who did little more than enjoy the sweet taste of the blue can, in a set of commercials airing during the nineties. She went on to non-commercial projects, such as the movie Paulie.
Hallie continued acting until 2010, appearing in Beautiful, with Minnie Driver, and starring in The Miracle Worker, a TV movie remake. Actress fact: she was named after Hallie O'Fallon from the movie All I Want for Christmas. Hallie raked in a cool million for her soda spokesmanship.
The Toyota Girl
Real Name: Laurel Coppock
Salary Deal: $1 million
This fresh-faced brunette brings in a million dollars as the face of a business.

She has had numerous appearances in television shows like Hot in Cleveland, Arrested Development, The Office, Modern Family, and more.
Coppock studied acting professionally at the Square Acting Conservatory, then moved to Chicago to study improv comedy acting. She worked for Boom Chicago in Amsterdam before beginning her television career. You might also recognize her as Sophia from Crazy, Stupid, Love.
“I've Fallen and Can't Get Up” Lady
Real Name: Edith Fore
Salary Deal : $200,000
Edith Fore has fallen plenty of times, but don't worry, because she has a LifeCall Medical Alarm bracelet. This series was one of the best-known commercials, and the catchphrase continues to create a little bit of laughter even now.
Madam Fore earned a pretty penny for her acting prowess: She raked in $200,000, but it's possible she could have done it for free. Her LifeCall bracelet really did save her life when she fell at home, sustaining both a hip injury and a head injury. She was inspired to appear in the commercials because of this and turned the experience into a famous commercial.
