Biography |
Jaime Pressly was born in Kinston, North Carolina, on July
30th, 1977. The natural beauty began performing as a
professional gymnast and dancer. Her classical dance
instructor mother coached a young Jaime, who continued to
practice gymnastics for 11 years.
Although a trained dancer and gymnast, Jaime broke through
as a model. By the time she was 13, her recognition was
beginning to grow internationally. Appearing on the cover of
Teen Magazine, Jaime also took to the world with modeling
work in Italy and Japan.
At the age of 15, the precocious teen legally emancipated
from her parents, and began to appear behind movie cameras.
She made her big screen debut in the 1997 film, Poison Ivy:
New Seduction; she was offered the role after appearing as
Drew Barrymore's body double in the original Poison Ivy
film.
After her role as a prostitute in Poison Ivy, Jaime appeared
in the films Against the Law, The Journey: Absolution and
Can't Hardly Wait, where it's safe to say that she stole the
show from Jennifer Love Hewitt. That same year, she appeared
in the Jerry Springer film Ringmaster, and was cast as C.J.
Callum in Trash and in Coyote Moon, as Dottie.
Jaime hit it big on the small screen in 1999, when she was
cast as promiscuous dancer Audrey on the hit television
show, Jack & Jill. While the only thing that she has in
common with her role is her love for dance, Jaime is
receiving recognition as one of the Jack & Jill babes.
No stranger to television roles, Jaime appeared in the
television series Push, and has shared her knowledge on the
game show Hollywood Squares.
The Southern girl starred in the film Best Actress (along
with model Rachel Hunter); appeared in Poor White Trash
(although she is anything but); appeared as Cynthia the
Goddess in the comedy 100 Girls; and starred in the thriller
Pinata.
Currently married to Brodie Mitchell (sorry guys), the
model/actress recently became a new spokesmodel for Liz
Claiborne Cosmetics and the new fragrance "Lucky You".
With a tattoo on her lower back of a blue Leo sign, with
"healthy, strong and brave" written in Japanese, Jaime is
only the next to prove that a beautiful face and talent can
also blossom into a lucrative film career -- something
Rachael Leigh Cook could have told her.
Jaime can next be seen in The Adventures of Joe Dirt (with
David Spade); Tomcats (with Shannon Elizabeth); and Ticker. |
