Meg Townsend Like many an up and coming supermodel, Meg Townsend -- the strikingly beautiful daughter of an Asian- African- American mother and an African- American- Irish father -- started off as a Sports Today swimsuit model. A brief print assignment for Anson Cosmetics led to an introduction to Jim Hillyer ... which led to her affair with Jim Hillyer ... which led to her selection as "the face" of Anson cosmetics. The "scandal" of her having been kidnapped seems to have had about as much effect on her career as Hugh Grant's activities did on Elizabeth Hurley's. That is, zero. Her popularity, in fact, is only increasing ($ker-CHING!$). Can Hollywood be far behind? (But can she act?? Did we learn NOTHING from Cindy Crawford's movie debut? Ugh!!)
