Sabine Ehrenfeld (German pronunciation: [zaˈbiːnə ˈeːʀɛnˌfɛlt]; born 27 November 1963) is a German model and actress. She was best known for her role in a series of advertisements as the spokesperson for web retailer Overstock.com. She moved to the United States in the mid-1980s.

Career

Ehrenfeld first appeared on national TV in a series of long-running spots for Special K cereal (without any lines; it was strictly voiceover) in the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, as well as a series of spots for Kotex in the mid-to-late 1990s.

In mid-2005, Ehrenfeld was replaced by a different actress on Overstock.com's TV and radio commercials, but soon after returned as the spokesperson, following shrill protests from her fans, until she was replaced by the new spokesperson, Briana Walker. She also appeared in a holiday-themed Lexus automobile commercial that aired throughout the month of December 2005. In March 2007, she began appearing in a television ad for Nesquik.

On 29 August 2008 an image of Sabine Ehrenfeld wearing glasses and a light blue suit jacket started appearing on the various internet sites erroneously stating that is was Republican Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin of Alaska. This was probably caused by a mistake in Google Images search results, which included that photo and the caption "Sarah Palin, Alaska's new governor...askpang.typepad.com."

Ehrenfeld has had modest roles in films, television shows, and stage productions. She has spent time working with the Groundlings improvisational comedy troupe.

Personal life

According to internet reports, Ehrenfeld is an accomplished pilot and equestrian. She is fluent in English, French, and Italian, in addition to German, and is also an expert pistol shot.

She is divorced from actor David Gordin, with whom she has two children.
