Jennifer Love Hewitt (born February 21, 1979 in Waco, Texas) is an American actress and singer.
Biography
Of German and Italian descent, she grew up in Killeen, Texas before moving to Los Angeles with her mother Pat at the age of 10 to pursue both acting and singing careers at the suggestion of talent scouts.
Her first break came soon thereafter as a child actor on the Disney Channel variety show Kids Incorporated (1989-1991). She became a household name after landing the role of Sarah Reeves on the popular Fox Television show Party of Five (1995-1999). She continued this role in the short-lived Party of Five spinoff, Time of Your Life (1999) co-starring Jennifer Garner.
She is perhaps most famous for the role of Julie James in the horror films I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and its sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998).
In other notable film roles, she was a centerpiece of the chaotic high school comedy Can't Hardly Wait (1998). She starred with Sigourney Weaver in the movie Heartbreakers (2001), which also featured Gene Hackman and Ray Liotta. Even more recently she was paired with Jackie Chan in the action comedy The Tuxedo (2002).
To date she has released four albums with some success, most notably outside the United States in places like Europe and Japan.
In 2003 Jennifer (with Bo Derek) visited troops who are recovering from their 2003 Iraq war injuries at Washington, D.C.'s Bethesda Naval Medical Center and Walter Reed Army Medical Center. She described it as "an amazing experience".
She is featured on the cover of the March 2005 issue of Maxim, and on the final issue of the TV Guide.
She stars in the television series Ghost Whisperer on CBS in the U.S. and CTV in Canada. It premiered in September 2005.
From 1997-1999 she dated Carson Daly and from 1999-2001 she dated Rich Cronin.
