Biography
Jennifer Elizabeth is 3rd generation of the entertainment business. Her maternal grandma, Mary Ellen was a MGM Goldwyn Girl, model and actress, later being Lucille Ball's stand-in on The Lucy Show. She was married to a Tommy Dorsey musician. They had 2 children, the daughter, Madonna Joy, is Jennifer's mother. Madonna put herself through college by dabbling in modeling, stand-in work, photo doubling, and being an extra. She was one of Spelling's Bikini Bunnies, working background on his numerous shows. She met stuntman, Gary Davis, doing background on a show while he was stunt doubling. A few years later they were married in Woodland Hills and had Jennifer in Dec. Jennifer got her SAG card at only 9 months old, on George Romeo's movie 'Knightriders' and credited as Baby Jennifer, beneath Stephen Kings name. (He made a cameo in the movie) Shortly after, Jennifer's parents divorced, yet stayed friends and co-parenting. Jennifer dabbled in a few more stunt kid roles and local commercials before moving up to Carmel with her mother and sisters to have a normal childhood. There, she still partook in drama and local theater. She won first place (and $100) for the Monterey Fisherman's Wharf first Best Mermaid costume, which her father designed. In high school, besides doing theater, she was also in yearbook and wrote for the school newspaper at Carmel High. One of her articles made it into the local paper and Jennifer picked up a Youth Writing Award for it at a small ceremony in Santa Cruz. She also wrote and illustrated a children's book that won 3rd place and made the paper again, going to schools reading it. (It is currently being made into a small budget animation short.) Jennifer moved back to Los Angeles after graduating from Carmel High to pursue her acting goals. She went to Pierce College while taking on Central Casting BG and stand-in roles to learn more about the business, since her dad wanted her to learn from the bottom up. She got her first featured role on "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch". She booked a recurring stunt role on Lifetime's "The Division" with then, unknowns Jon Hamm and Taraji P. Hansen. She followed that with a role on 'THe O.C." and a few stunt jobs in between. After having her daughter, she purchased her first of 4 custom made mermaid tails and fulfilled her passion as being a professional mermaid for friends and associates in the entertainment business at their private parties. She booked a commercial for Australian water as a mermaid. While still taking on low-budget movies and commercial work, she would still make appearances as a mermaid. Her worlds happily collided when a casting notice went out for a stunt woman with her own mermaid tail to work on the new Nickelodeon show, "Knight Squad". Immediately, stunt professionals and stunt coordinators threw Jennifer's name in the mix and she was hired before even meeting anyone on the production. Jennifer currently is studying with a private acting coach as she is focusing on more acting roles. She is in the early process of developing a mermaid show. She works in production and also writes in her free time if not training actresses, models and her daughter's friends to be mermaids.
