Your Gold Medal Can't Help You Now: Past Olympians Who Have Starred In Commercials

Dorothy Hamill

Dorothy Hamill took the gold medal home from the 1976 winter Olympics in figure skating, and quickly became the most sought after skater for commercial endorsements in figure skating history. Her bobbed hairstyle that she had during the Olympics started a fad, and people all over copied it. Her famous hairstyle resulted in an endorsement deal with Clairol Shampoo. She also starred in a commercial for Ford cars. [Photo via]
