Wikipedia description:
Carrie Donovan (March 22, 1928 – November 12, 2001) was an American fashion editor for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and The New York Times Magazine. In the 1990s she became known for her work in Old Navy commercials where she wore her trademark large eyeglasses and black clothing, often declaring the merchandise "Fabulous!". In almost all of the commercials, she appeared alongside Magic the dog and various other stars from TV and fashion. She was often mistaken for Natalie Schafer (Mrs. Howell from Gilligan's Island) in the commercials because of the presence of multiple sitcom characters from the 1970s. She was parodied by Ana Gasteyer on an episode of Saturday Night Live.
