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.
