Jennifer Love Hewitt

There is no doubt that there are people who were born for the world of entertainment. But few artists have been as precocious as Jennifer Love Hewitt. She started her career practically when she stopped crawling and she hasn’t stopped since. Born in Waco (Texas) on February 21, 1979, this angelic-faced girl embroiders everything she does, be it dancing, singing, or playing characters for movies or television. She is the daughter of a doctor and a speech-language pathologist, and she has an older brother named Todd. She was only three years old, she was already giving dance classes and shortly after she won the title of “Living Dool” in a beauty pageant. At age 9, with her artistic career already in her sights, she traveled to Russia and Denmark with a dance company. Upon her return he settled in Los Angeles, where a year later she would begin her relationship with the cameras when she was chosen to promote Mattel brand toys -Barbie, among them- in various advertisements. She then joined the cast of the television seriesKids Incorporated . Hewitt played the role of Robin from 1989 to 1991 and along with her co-stars won the Young Artist Award.

The little Texan showed unparalleled self-confidence in front of the cameras, but part of her talent had yet to explode. And when she, along with the series crew, sang “Please Save Us A World” before the United Nations assembly, no one doubted that a rising star was looming over America. The performance produced such an impact that the little girl was appointed ambassador of the youth of the Rio Summit in 1992 and her song became the musical theme of the meeting. Neither short nor lazy, the young artist then released her first album, “Love Songs”, which was distributed in Europe and Japan. She was only 13 years old.

Since then, Love – as she likes to be called – has combined film and song. In 1994 she was acclaimed for her role in the series Birds of Paradise and the following year she released her second album, “Let’s Go Bang”. However, cinema and not music was what was going to change her life in that year of 1995. She was chosen to play Sarah Reeves in Party of Five , a successful North American series that was losing its spark, and again she was nominated for the best actress at the YoungStar Award. And in 1996, shortly after releasing her third musical album, a compilation titled “Jennifer Love Hewitt”, she got the role she needed.

Although she had already appeared sporadically in a movie ( Sister Act 2: Back in the Convent ), it was in 1997, at the age of eighteen, when her name truly burst onto the big screen. First with Trojan War , a typical teen comedy and then with the film that would mark her career: I Know What You Did Last Summer , a prototype of a “teen” product in which Hewitt barely survives the bloody attacks of a serial killer . A year later the sequel is released, I still know what you did last summer, with an increasingly rising Jennifer who does not hesitate to exploit her sexiest side. After this film, the petite figure of Love Hewitt – 1.62 m and 53 kilos – was known throughout the world. In 2000 she played Audrey Hepburn for a well-received TV movie. Her last film to date has been Les Seductresses , opposite Sigourney Weaver , with whom she forms a courtroom mother-daughter pair. Next year she will switch records in The Tuxedo , alongside Jackie Chan , and The Devil and Daniel Webster , alongside Anthony Hopkins .. In any case, although Jennifer has the world at her feet, she is still a girl who loves things as normal as hamburgers, skating or listening to the music of Aretha Franklin .
