1-MINUTE RESUME FOR JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT
The story of a true Hollywood survivor: since age 9, Jennifer Love
Hewitt has been a successful child commercial spokesperson (L.A. Gear),
TV teen idol (
Party of Five), movie starlet (
I Know What You Did Last Summer,
Can't Hardly Wait), singer (self-titled second album), and after a short period away from the spotlight, she returned to TV on the drama series,
The Ghost Whisperer. The actress has fairly memorable movie roles in 2001's
Heartbreakers and both
Garfield films.
5 Things:
1. After a series of paranormal events, she had her 1920s-style home "ghostbusted" by the woman her character in The Ghost Whisperer is based on.
2. Her ex-boyfriend, singer John Mayer, wrote the song "Your Body is a Wonderland" about her.
3. Her first name came from her brother, who liked a girl at school
named Jennifer; her middle name Love came from her mother's college
roommate.
4. She has said that she has difficulty making close girlfriends.
5. She likes people to call her "Love."
Quote:
"I think there's lots of easy ways to prove to people that you're an
adult — take your clothes off, play a severe drug addict — or become
one in real life.… I don't think being an adult is about shocking
people.… You don't turn 30 and take all your clothes off and walk down
the street in real life, so why would you in the movies?"
