Birth Name:
Jodi Lyn O'Keefe
AKA:
Jodi Lynn O'Keefe, Jodi O'Keefe
Jodi Lyn O'Keefe was born on October 10, 1978 in Cliffwood Beach, New Jersey. She was the youngest of three sisters. Her childhood saw her with a bowl haircut, and as a self-described dork. Jodie saw her older sister modeling though, and decided she, too wanted to give it a try. She did, and says the modeling jobs brought her more confidence and more friends.



She attended a Catholic school, and says she shot up. She went from being the shortest in to 5'8", leaving her taller, and a complete klutz. But midway through her junior year, she left school to start on



… More Another World, the soap opera. She then got a role on Nash Bridges, as Don Johnson's daughter. She and her mother moved out to Hollywood, so Jodi finished her schooling by mail.



Jodi was well on her way to stardom, but a role in 1999's popular teen flick She's All That brought her to the forefront. The comedy had her playing Taylor Vaughn, the most popular (and conceited) girl in school. When asked if it was hard to play such a character, Jodi replied, "Everybody knew a Taylor Vaughn in high school.. Working in show business, you meet girls like that everyday."



Jodi carried on filming both movies and for Nash Bridges up until the series ended in 2001. Her last film was a sequel to Rose McGowan's little known movie Dearly Devoted. Her character in the sequel was named Debbie Strong, however Rose played Debbie Strand, which had fans confused, but still growing.



Since then Jodi has been laying low at home for a while. Fans have often left messages on forums querying why the young, talented, respectively cheap and available actress has found no work for two years. Answer? She's been together with Nash Bridges co-star Jaime Gomez. Other than that no reason can be given. Her career was beginning to take off before she vanished. She makes the odd appearance at movie premieres and parties from time to time, however. That, until she found work on a regular basis on the hit series Prison Break.

    From child actress to adult actress! Great transition! hide show

    I saw her first in the tv show of the 90's Nash Bridges as Don Johnson's daughter in it. She has since made the transition from child actress to adult actress it seems with ease. As the evil and witchy Susan B Anthony in Prison Break. As she is the you know what that you like to hate but in a good kind of way. As she is probably the first real villianess that you really don't like. But still, want around as that keeps the show flowing around a bit. Can't wait to see what is in her future as she is awesome. Keep up the good work Jodi!

    The best newcomer in Prison Break for sure. hide show

    Extremely talented actress..so glad she's got the part in one of my favorite shows, prison break. I've seen her a couple of times in some movies before this show,and i honestly didn't expect much from her when i heard she was casted in PB but boy did she prove me wrong! I don't know the mystery of why she always play antagonist throughout her career( cause she definitely has a fun and lovable side in her..judging from her interviews). But her portrayal of Susan B Anthony in Prison Break is second to none...she really can play a mean character and the intensity in her eyes is magnificent. Hopefully this character will evolve into one of the 'good guys'. Talented actress, a very lovable person- what a capture by FOX!

    empty hide show

    Jodi Lyn O'Keefe is a decent actress, but she hasn't really done enough films that I have seen for me to fairly judge her more thoroughly. I've only ever really seen her in one genre of movies (teen comedies) and in those films she is okay, but her portrayal of her characters always seem to be the same.
