You may have seen her in the most recent Overstock.com commercial that aired on January 20, 2011. In addition to being a recognized actress, Keats is a mother, animal-lover, avid traveler and very down-to-earth person. We interviewed her to learn more about who she is, how she got her start, and why she has decided to partner with Overstock.com.
(12) Comments Posted in Inside OverstockI recently starred in the Overstock.com 2010 holiday commercial.

One can't just eat snacks willy-nilly, however, so I present to you: my plan of attack for a day full of snacks.
(4) Comments Posted in Inside OverstockYesterday afternoon, I received an e-mail (sent to the entire office) containing the following somewhat vague mandate: "Prizes or treats will be given tomorrow, Friday August 27, to whomever wears their best stretchy outfit (interpret as you want)." Why, you ask? Partly because why not? But mostly to honor our new and improved "Stretch" website design!
