Sorry Andrew Shue, you had your shot. Not only has Allison done left Melrose
Place and found herself a new hit Fox television show, she's found herself
a new man--a geneticist!--to whom she's engaged, her publicist says.
Ally McBeal costar Courtney Thorne-Smith's publicist confirmed Thursday
that her 30-year-old client is indeed getting hitched to one Andrew Conrad.
And like all good husband material, the devil's in the DNA--literally.
This guy comes with the following credentials: Ph.D., Director, Research
and Development National Genetics Institute in Los Angeles, the Ultimate
TV Website (www.UltimateTV.com) reports. (Mom and Dad shouldn't have too
much trouble with that.)
No wedding date was announced, but the flack did say that Thorne-Smith and
Conrad have been dating for about a year.
Thorne-Smith, who plays lawyer Georgia on Ally McBeal, has been in the TV
business since 1986, when she took over the Jennifer Jason Leigh role in
the short-lived TV version of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
