Born December 12, 1970, in
the Catskill Mountains of New York State, Jennifer is an accomplished star actress.
Jennifer grew up in Brooklyn Heights, except for the four years her family spent
in Woodstock, New York.
When
Jennifer was 10, a family friend who was an advertising executive suggested that
her parents take her to a modeling audition. She began doing modeling work through
the Ford Agency, appearing in magazine ads for Seventeen magazine and soon moved
on to TV commercials. She also appeared in a Miller Beer commercial.
A
casting director saw Jennifer and introduced her to Sergio Leone, who was seeking
a young girl to dance in his gangster epic "Once Upon a Time in America".
Jennifer got the part, and this was her first movie appearance, and the big break
that launched her career.
Jennifer
states, "I'm still working and I have a lot to do, I have a lot I want to
accomplish, that's just in terms of the integrity of my work, and not about how
people perceive me or if I'm famous, I'm happy where I am". Jennifer has
matured into one of the most versatile actresses on the screen.
