Character on Ghost Whisperer:
Melinda Gordon

Full Name: Jennifer Love Hewitt

Birthday: February 21, 1979

Birthplace: Waco, Texas


Interesting facts: Sent 3 dozen pink roses to Gwyneth Paltrow the night before Paltrow won the Oscar in 1999. Hewitt also wrote her a two page letter praising her as a role model and admiring her work. Paltrow sent a reply a week later, and Hewitt framed it - "It's my favorite thing." When the two actresses met for the first time at the 2000 Golden Globes, "She came up to me and gave me a hug for the flowers. I thought I was going to pass out. I was absolutely going to have a heart attack."

Hewitt was almost cast as Juliet in "Romeo + Juliet" (1996), but at the last moment she lost the part to Claire Danes because the director felt she wasn't "modern" enough. She auditioned for the role of Tricia Jones in "Mallrats" (1995).

At the age of four while at a restaurant dance hall she disappeared. She was found on the stage singing "Help Me make It Through The Night." She got the name "Love" from her mother's college roommate.
Her first job was on "Kids Incorporated" (1984). Little did she know that one of the guest stars would turn out to be her future co-worker on "Party of Five" (1994), Scott Wolf. She was offered a role on the WB's "Charmed"(1998), to take over Shannen Doherty's role, but turned it down. She hosted the Comedy for a Cure and raised over $100,000 for Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance's research programs.
Her mother is Italian and her father is German.

She recently played Nancy Sinatraon NBC's "American Dreams" (2002) and adopted a puppy on location that she namedBoots. At the time she was performing "These Boots Were Made For Walking," hence the appropriate name.
She has recorded four albums: "Love Songs" in 1992, "Let's Go Bang" in 1995, "Jennifer Love Hewitt" in 1996, and "BareNaked" in 2002, which was produced by singer/songwriter Meredith Brooks.


    Biography: Jennifer Love Hewitt has appeared in many feature films, including "Heartbreakers," "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer," "Can't Hardly Wait," "Garfield" and "The Tuxedo." She recently completed production on two independent feature films, "The Truth About Love" and "If Only," which she also produced.
    Hewitt became known to television audiences through her role in the award-winning series "Party of Five." She has also appeared in the television movie "The Audrey Hepburn Story."

    Hewitt dedicates her time to many charitable causes including St. Jude Children's Hospital, APLA, Project Angel Food and the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

    Originally from Texas, Hewitt lives in the Los Angeles area.

    Love Hewitt Quotes:

    "When I came to Los Angeles, it was the first time that I ever felt like I belonged somewhere. Not because it was wacky, but because people here understood what I felt like to perform, and there were other kids my age who wanted to do it. I didn't get looked at as, 'God, you freak.'"

    "I don't consider myself a great dresser either. But I try. Most of the time I'm in khakis and a white T-shirt. I'm a total Gap girl. Super casual, hair in a pony tail and no makeup."

    "I try to find things that are insanely cheap and brilliant. My Bonne Bell lip gloss is about 75 cents, and I have worn it as my lipstick to almost every main event in Hollywood in the past two years."

    "I would just love once to be called sexy. Just because it would make me something other than cute."

    I agree. I have been influenced by her since I was in High School. She's made me what I am today by giving me the strength to not give up & showing me how having a big heart like hers can influence people everyday. That itself is it's own reward and I can only hope, one day, I should be so lucky to tell her face to face. That is my main goal in life.
    Last year, I was really close and i missed my chance. Whenever that happens, I'll come back and tell you guys all about it. Mark my words!!!(crossing fingers)
