Jennifer Love Hewitt is an American actress known for her roles in comedy and romantic films. In addition to acting, she also has other talents.
early years
Jennifer Love Hewitt was born on February 21, 1979 in the Texas town of Waiko. Her parents were medical workers, so initially the girl did not even think about an acting career. At the age of 8, Jennifer moved with her parents to Garland. It was during this period that a craving for creativity opened in her, and the future actress began performing in school productions, studying music and dancing.
When Jennifer was 10 years old, her mother decided to take her to Los Angeles so that the girl would develop her talents at a professional level and, in the long term, began to build a musical and acting career. The schoolgirl was immediately noticed on television and offered to star in several commercials, as well as in a children's series from Disney Studios called Kids INC. Jennifer played her roles perfectly, and two years later she starred in another children's project - a VHS video with a set of exercises for girls “Dance with Barbie”.
The first feature film starring Jennifer Love Hewitt was Munchies, released in 1992. A year later, she got a role in the comedy "Act Sister 2", which made the girl quite famous among teenagers. The real popularity for the actress came in 1995 with the release of the TV series The Magnificent Five, in which she played one of the main roles. The project was recognized as the best television youth drama of its time, and Jennifer received an award for the work done. In subsequent years, she will show herself in several roles at once, including:
- actress;
- singer;
- dancer;
- producer.
The beginning of an acting career
The 90s became a "golden" period for youth thrillers. One was I Know What You Did Last Summer, released in 1997 and promoting the ideas of the 1996 film Scream. For one and the main roles, the girls Julie James, invited the already famous and promising Jennifer Love Hewitt. The project became truly iconic and grossed $ 125 million worldwide with a budget of $ 14 million. Jennifer was immediately recognized as one of the most beautiful and talented young actresses in the United States. She also received the nickname "queen of screams".
In the wake of the success of the film, a year later, a sequel was released called “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer,” where Jennifer played the same role. The picture became no less successful, but Love Hewitt decided not to become a hostage to the role and look for new images. She played in the comedies "Can't Wait!" and Kings of Rock, as well as the youth TV series Dawson's Creek. The projects were not particularly successful, although Jennifer Love Hewitt continued to be one of the most popular young performers.
Successful actress and producer
Good knowledge in the film industry and the presence of solid capital allowed Jennifer to start producing. In 2000, she produced the biographical television film The Audrey Hepburn Story, in which she also starred. The project was received very warmly by critics. In subsequent years, Love Hewitt produced projects such as:
- "One night";
- "If only";
- Ghost Whisperer;
- "List of clients";
- "Based on compatibility."
In 2001, at the peak of her popularity, together with the movie star Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer played one of the main roles in the romantic hit "Heart-Eater". Critics and audiences have praised her impeccable appearance and figure, as well as her ability to play strong characters and romantic women. A year later, the actress was invited to the comedy thriller "Tuxedo" with the cult actor and stuntman Jackie Chan. In this tape, she had not only to find herself in funny situations, but also to participate in real chases and shootings. She successfully coped with all the difficulties and again became a hotly discussed actress, who was promised a cloudless future in Hollywood.
In subsequent years, a series of successful films with Jennifer Love Hewitt were released, including:
- "The whole truth about love";
- Garfield;
- "Diary of the careerist Katya Livingston";
- "Ghosts of Christmas".
The actress managed to work with such Hollywood celebrities as Jimi Mistry, Breckin Meyer and Dagray Scott. However, most of the projects were low-budget, which did not allow her to get into the list of stars of the first magnitude. However, in 2007, Jennifer managed to take part in a really large project - Alec Baldwin's directorial debut entitled The Devil and Daniel Webster. She brilliantly played the role of a seductive devil.
Throughout her film career, Jennifer Love Hewitt has never ceased to carefully monitor herself. Her passion for dancing and fitness allowed her to achieve a delightful figure, as well as be ready for filming in films of any genre. So in 2008 she played the role in Ben Stiller's comedy action movie Soldiers of Failure. Together with her, the director himself played in the film, as well as Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr. and other stars of the first magnitude.
Off the set
In addition to her acting career, Jennifer Love Hewitt has never forgotten her passion for music. In 1992, her debut album entitled "Songs of Love" was released. Three years later, the second LP "Lets Go Bang" was released, which became very popular in the USA. In 1995, the third album named after the singer "Jennifer Love Hewitt" was presented, which was warmly received by Japan and European countries.
Jennifer's personal life turned out to be quite eventful. Barely reaching adulthood, she became close to singer Enrique Iglesias, starring in one of his videos. The couple was often seen together, but it is not known for certain whether this relationship was romantic. In 2005, the actress began dating actor Ross McCall, and it was going to get engaged, but in 2008 the couple broke up.
In 2013, Jennifer Love Hewitt married actor Brian Hallisay, with whom she is still happily married. The couple had two children. The actress herself has repeatedly said that both names strongly influence her romantic nature. The first of them (Jennifer) she received at the insistence of her older brother: that was the name of his first beloved, and her mother decided to give her the second name at birth precisely in order for her daughter to succeed in love.
