Allison DuBois (c. 1971-    ) Research medium, criminal profiler, author, title character and inspiration for NBC's Medium television series.

Before signing copies of her book, Don't Kiss Them Goodbye, Allison answered questions from a couple hundred fans at the Barnes and Noble Bookstore at Desert Ridge Marketplace in North Phoenix. 3-05.

Born in Arizona

Lives in Phoenix

Allison is a self-proclaimed psychic, married to an aerospace engineer, living in North Phoenix with their three daughters.  On her web site [allisondubois.com], she explains what she does, "I can contact the deceased, I can profile the living and I predict future events."  So as not to inconvenience those in need of her services, readings could be conducted on the phone and by e-mail.  The Arizona Republic reported that the charge for such a reading was $250/hour.

In 2004, Allison published her book, Don't Kiss Them Good-Bye, describing her powers. She appears to have reached the peak of her profession, being described as a "Michael Jordan" of mediums in a review of her book.  She is said to have worked with the Texas Rangers and other law enforcement agencies on missing persons' cases.

NBC thought of Allison as fodder for a mid-season entry into the ratings wars.  It debuted Medium on January 3, 2005 opposite CBS's ratings champion, CSI: Miami.  Patricia Arquette portrays Allison as she uses her psychic powers to help police solve crimes while dealing with her rocket-scientist husband, and three daughters.
