Jennifer Love Hewitt - actress, Hollywood star, singer and director - was born on February 21, 1979 in Waco, Texas. From early childhood, Jennifer loved music, sat for hours at the TV, carefully listening to familiar melodies. When the girl was two years old, her parents hired a teacher to develop her musical abilities. The little singer made dizzying progress, her thin voice rang in the house from morning to evening.

Success little Jennifer

And one day a miracle happened. When Jennifer was with her parents at the holiday agricultural fair, she boldly approached the musicians who accompanied the exhibition, took the microphone and sang Whitney Houston's hit song The Greatest Love of All. She was only three years old at the time. A little later, Jennifer surprised the visitors of a large restaurant combined with a dance hall: the girl sang a folk ballad from the repertoire of Kris Kristofferson. And when little Hewitt was five years old, she had a new hobby- dancing.

Los Angeles

At the age of nine, Jennifer began to perform on the professional stage as part of the Texans show group. A year later, her mother was strongly recommended to go with her daughter to Los Angeles to continue the musical career of the growing Love. So Jennifer ended up in the main city of cinema. Agents of film studios immediately seized on a talented child. Young Hewitt began acting in TV projects of advertising companies - more than twenty commercials came out with her participation. The directors appreciated the girl for her natural charm, but they especially liked the weight of Jennifer Love Hewitt, or rather, its complete absence. And later, as an adult, the actress weighed no more than 58 kg.

TV series

Soon, Jennifer was invited to the children's television show Kids Incorporated, which aired twice a week on the daytime channel. The program ran until the end of 1991. Young Love has gained invaluable experience during this time. Then she, already as a professional actress, was invited to the television series Running Wilde, which starred the popular actor Pierce Brosnan. Jennifer was to play the daughter of Brosnan's character, an adventurer. The directors were a little embarrassed by the height of Jennifer Love Hewitt, who was only 157 cm, but everything worked out (the right shoes were chosen). Then, after a few mid-range television series, Hewitt landed her first starring role. It was Sarah Reeves from The Five of Us on Fox. The show ran from 1995 to 1999, and in 1996 the seriesreceived the Golden Globe. Thanks to this youth drama, the girl's career went uphill. Since then, films with Jennifer Love Hewitt have become popular.

First roles in big movies

In 1999, the series "Five of Us" smoothly continued with a project called "The Time of Your Life". Sarah Reeves Merrin became the main character in the new series, respectively, Jennifer - the lead actress. In addition, upon reaching the age of majority, Hewitt received the right to become one of the producers of the project. Oh, she used that right.

Jennifer's popularity as a big movie actress came to her thanks to the film "I Know What You Did Last Summer" directed by Jim Gillespie (the picture was released in 1997). It was a classic horror film in the best traditions of Hollywood. Love played Julie James, the main character. With a relatively small budget of $17 million, the film grossed $125 million at the box office. The following year, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" was made, with continued horror and a somewhat chaotic storyline.

Audrey Hepburn

The whole year 2000 passed for Hewitt under the sign of creating a film about the life of Hollywood megastar Audrey Hepburn, who untimely passed away into another world and left behind a number of film masterpieces. Jennifer, who was approved by director Steven Robman for the main role, had a daunting task - to embody the image of a great actress. Something Hewitt succeeded, something - no,criticism was mixed. For example, Jennifer failed to convey magnetism to Audrey Hepburn, there was simply nowhere to take it from. The same with the grace that Audrey possessed by nature, and which is simply impossible to play. However, overall the film did well.

Albums of singer Hewitt

In addition to film projects, Jennifer Love Hewitt is actively involved in releasing her solo albums. The singer has already presented four discs, but their popularity, and even more so sales, do not make an impression. Jennifer's songs are more successful in European countries and Japan. Japanese admirers of the singer's work consider her a pop star of the first magnitude and invite her to visit. Love Hewitt is considering this proposal. The actress and singer should also think about some of the offers of the super popular magazine Maxim. In the meantime, Jennifer was placed in the gallery "Girls of Maxim", which is part of the magazine. This happened back in 2005, and it's time for the actress to reconsider her positions. To date, she is on the list of the sexiest famous ladies at number 29 (Hot 100 rating). Time does not stand still, but the young actress becomes more beautiful every year and with each new role. Magazines sometimes don't have time to keep up with the transformations of public beauties, but let's hope that Jennifer Love Hewitt will soon take her rightful place in the rankings.
