Jennifer Love Hewitt is currently starring as Sarah Reeves on the Golden Globe-winning drama series "Party of Five." For her work, she was honored with a 1997 Hollywood Reporter Young Star Award nomination as Best Actress in a Television Drama Series.
Hewitt's film credits include the hugely successful teen thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer, which garnered her a 1998 Blockbuster Entertainment Award as Favorite Female Newcomer in a Film. Most recently, Hewitt starred in Can't Hardly Wait, a teen comedy starring an ensemble cast including Ethan Embry, Peter Facinelli, Charles Korsmo, Lauren Ambrose and Seth Green that was written and directed by Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont and produced by Jenno Topping and Betty Thomas.
Last summer, she began production on the comedy The Suburbans, also starring Ben Stiller, in which she plays a record company executive. In 1999, she will executive produce and star in New Line Cinema's romantic comedy Cupid's Love. The film is based on an original idea by Hewitt. She will also portray her idol Audrey Hepburn in an ABC-TV movie on the late actress' life.
In addition to her acting work, Hewitt is a gifted vocalist, having released three solo albums. Her CD "Love Songs" was released in 1992 in Japan, followed by the U.S. Atlantic Records' releases "Let's Go Bang" and "Jennifer Love Hewitt."
Born in Waco, Texas, and raised in nearby Killeen, Hewitt began her show business career at the age of nine when she became a member of the Texas Show Team, accompanying the troupe on a special performance tour of Russia as goodwill ambassadors. Shortly thereafter, her family relocated to Los Angeles where she began appearing in national commercials.
For television, Hewitt has also starred as a series regular on "Kids, Incorporated," "Shaky Ground," "The Byrds of Paradise" and "McKenna." Her other film credits include Trojan War, Telling You, House Arrest and Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. Hewitt resides in Los Angeles.
