About Victoria Jackson and Ali Guthy
Having achieved success as a Hollywood makeup artist, cosmetics
entrepreneur and television infomercial pioneer, Victoria
Jackson prefers to think of herself as "a goodwill
ambassador for makeup." A recognized trailblazer in the infomercial industry, Jackson
altered a global beauty aesthetic with her "no makeup makeup" -- a
foundation that was the cornerstone of her eponymous line Victoria
Jackson Cosmetics, which has enjoyed over a half billion dollars
in sales, and continues to grow. Jackson has also garnered a devoted following through her two
briskly selling books: Redefining Beauty: Discovering Your
Individual Beauty, Enhancing Your Self-Esteem and Make
Up Your Life: Every Woman's Guide to the Power of Makeup, a
deeply personal account of her experiences in business. Today, Victoria's primary focus is the Guthy-Jackson Charitable
Foundation, which is dedicated to funding biomedical research in
the search to understand the pathophysiology and biochemistry of
Neuromyeltis Optica (NMO) Spectrum Disease. It is her greatest
hope that "together we will reverse the effects of NMO and
eventually cure this disease." Married to husband Bill Guthy of infomercial giant Guthy-Renker,
Victoria Jackson is the mother of three children and together they
reside in Los Angeles. Ali Guthy, a student at the University of California,
Santa Barbara, has kept a journal since she was a young girl. At
The Buckley School in Los Angeles, she served as
co-editor-in-chief for her high school's award-winning newspaper,
The Student Voice. She is also the managing editor of The
Spectrum, the newsletter she created with the Guthy-Jackson
Charitable Foundation. While at Buckley, she had record-setting
achievements on the tennis court, finishing with an overall
winning record of 165-22. Ali also received Buckley's coveted Head
of School Award -- given to a student who demonstrated leadership,
academic achievement, character, and service on behalf of the
school and community. Ali has also been honored with numerous
awards and in the media for giving a public face to NMO and for
her leadership in reaching out to newly diagnosed patients and
their families.
