When they were children, Brooke Shields and jodie Foster were in TV ads: Brooke for Band-Aids, and Jodie for Crest toothpaste.
And let's not forget that Jodie bared her butt for that iconic Coppertone ad.
I recall a commercial with the then unknown John Travolda, where he was part of a group of young athletes in a locker room.
And if I'm correct, even Marilyn Monroe did an early commercial for motor oil, I think.
Any other big name stars of today who began their careers on TV ads?

I'd originally thought that the earliest commercial Naomi Watts did (and the first thing I saw her in) was an ad where she chooses a lamb roast over going on a date with Tom Cruise.
But it turns out she was in ads before that for Tampax.

Probably not as big in the US as she is in the UK but Keeley Hawes did a lot of adverts before becoming more widely famous. An old ad she did for a Boots product...  |

I checked out that commercial and some of her other ones on YouTube. I really like Keeley Hawes after having seen her in The Durrells, The Tunnel, Upstairs Downstairs and an episode of Doctor Who (I may have seen her in other things, but can’t recall them at the moment). |

Thanks Chalice_Of_Evil . Keeley is one of my favourite actresses, I guess possibly THE favourite. Everything she plays is to perfection. Lady Macbeth, Fancy Day, the long suffering mother in After Henry, Mothers and Daughters, the list goes on. And her performance as Kitty in Tipping the Velvet was superb. |
