Jennifer Love Hewitt Born: 21-Feb-1979 Birthplace: Waco, TX
Gender: Female Race or Ethnicity: White Sexual orientation: Straight Occupation: Actor Nationality: United States Executive summary: Ghost Whisperer Hewitt's parents divorced when she was eight months old, and Hewitt spent her formative years in Texas, where at the age of three, she gave her first performance, singing as a side attraction at a Texas livestock show. It must have been a busy childhood -- she was taking tap, jazz, and ballet lessons when she was five. She won a beauty pageant at the age of nine, and soon a talent scout suggested that Hewitt could be a child star, if she moved to California. The family moved to the coast, leaving Hewitt's older brother behind to finish high school with his friends. 10-year-old Hewitt became a spokeschild for L.A. Gear, and a regular on Kids Incorporated. She had small roles in just two films before landing the title role in Little Miss Millions, opposite Howard Hesseman.
She played "the teenaged daughter" in three cancelled TV series (Shaky Ground, McKenna, and Byrds of Paradise) before Fox called with Party of Five. That teen melodrama had already finished its first season, but the producers wanted a new character, and Hewitt was cast as Sarah Reeves. She bailed from the show before its last season, when her character received her own quick-flopping spin-off series, called Time of Your Life. Since Time of Your Life, Hewitt has primarily appeared in a long line of forgettable films, uninterrupted by any bright spots. I Know What You Did Last Summer and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, from 1997 and 1998 respectively, remain her most recognisable big-screen work. Hewitt also starred in a TV telling of The Audrey Hepburn Story. Insert your own punchline. (Or, if you don't get the joke, just rent anything with Audrey Hepburn in it.) Inevitably, she has also tried to make it as singer, and has released several albums.
