At an early age, Jennifer displayed a passion for singing and performing.

While the FOX family drama launched her career on television, it was the horror flick I Know What You Did Last Summer which finally put her on the Hollywood map. Her popularity rose as she made several more movies, recorded more albums, was featured in men's and women's magazines, and appeared in music videos.

In 2005, she landed the role of Melinda Gordon in the CBS drama Ghost Whisperer. In 2007, Jennifer got engaged to her long-time boyfriend Ross McCall while vacationing in Hawaii.


In 2010, Jennifer starred in the Lifetime tv movie The Client List. The success of the film prompted the network to order a series to be made around the story. Jennifer will return to the role of Sam Horton.

    not so nice - she's not my favorite hide show

    If you this her show you won't see her leg, they never film under her waist. Why ? she's a producer ! So i guess she choose everything and sure she choose her style, her look, her dresses.
    I'm tired of seeing her exactly dress same !!! like my grand ma'.
    She's very charming and a good actress but please try to be simple : stop the dresses like "the Ingalls" and be modern. Maybe is not a way to look thin but we don't care if you look fat with way - at least it will be the real you !!

    She is one of the most talented actresses of all time! At the end of every episode, I just don't want it to end! When Jim died, the way she broke down was beyond believable, it, in itself, was almost god-like! hide show

    She is the most dramatic actresses I have ever seen act. The way she make every part of the show, Ghost whisperer, come to life, is amazing! I hate it when the show is over, that means one, I have to go to bed, and two, I have to stop watching the most epic show ever! I just can't get enough of it. If I could only afford the seasons on DVD I would be even more happy, if that was even possible?! She should be honored with some kind of big award for her talents. I don't see why she isn't more, out there. Either way, she is amazing.
