Don Reo, who created the television series Blossom, vividly remembers watching Jenna's audition tape. He firmly believes that it is nearly impossible to get a job from just a tape, and that it is incredibly rare for an actor to show any kind of memorable emotion when they aren't auditioning in person. Reo was "mind-numbingly bored" with all the other actresses that he watched on video, but he blown away by Jenna's charm, and he even remembers the purple floppy hat she was wearing at the time. At that moment, Reo knew that he had found the girl to play Six LeMeure on the show, and he didn't look at anyone else for the role.
