| While television audiences can see her in first-run syndication in "Sinbad" this fall, Jacqueline will also appear in the independent motion picture "Baton Rouge", an ensemble drama shot on location in Louisiana. Guided by writer and first-time director Brad Sanders, the project is a film noir depiction of relationships and how people's lives can become completely twisted by jealousy. Jacqueline's childhood was marked by contrasts: born on Fort Ord army base in Monterey, California, spending her formative years in Orange County, California, then moving to a "non-working horse ranch" in Woodland Park, Colorado at age nine. Single-handedly, Jacqueline boarded horses, spent quality time in the woods and became a lifelong animal lover in the company of dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, pet rats, hermit crabs, horses, cows and many others. Owing to her height ( 5'9" by age twelve) and avoidance of social cliques, Jacqueline recalls being "the most unpopular kid in school." Uninterested in acting, she nonetheless enjoyed singing in such musicals as The King and I, The Wizard of Oz and My Fair Lady and also tested her pipes in state choral competitions. A short-term photographic memory allowed Jacqueline to graduate as a junior, with straight A's, and a full scholarship paved her way to the University of Northern Colorado. Having worked for a veterinarian as a teenager, she struggled between studying music and veterinary medicine. Her struggle was short. After one semester she found herself bored with the curriculum and quit. The gawky, too-tall adolescent had, by now, fully bloomed, and Jacqueline was soon discovered in Denver by a modeling scout and whisked away to Paris a week later. Within a year her image could be found in nearly every major French and German magazine. A broken heart led her to New York, where she also appeared in Cosmopolitan, Elle, Mademoiselle, Glamour and other leading publications. Jacqueline gave up her modeling career when she married Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. The couple had a son, Rory, in 1990. A year later, she decided to begin working again and acting seemed a natural progression. Jacqueline divorced in 1995. A single mother, she currently lives in Los Angeles with her son, three dogs, and two cats. |
