From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Jaime Lynn Pressly (born July 30, 1977) is an American model and actress.
Pressly was born in Kinston, North Carolina, USA. Her mother was a classical dance instructor which lead to Pressly's studying of gymnastics and dancing in her youth which continued for 11 years. By the time she was 14, she was already the spokesperson for her modeling agency, International Cover Model Search and had begun to gain recognition for modeling both in the United States as well as in Italy and Japan. Pressly had herself legally emancipated from her parents at the age of 15.
Pressly worked as Drew Barrymore's body double in the film Poison Ivy. As a result, she was offered the lead in the 1997 sequel, Poison Ivy: The New Seduction.
Jaime's first real taste of success came in 1999, when she was cast as the promiscuous dancer Audrey on the television show, Jack and Jill.
In 2001 she was made the new spokesmodel for Liz Claiborne Cosmetics and its fragrance Lucky You.
Outside of acting, Pressly has posed nude for the March 1998 and February 2004 issues of Playboy and performed with The Pussycat Dolls.
One persistent rumor is that Pressly married a man named Brodie Mitchell in 1998. Pressly, who has never married, has stated she has heard of Mitchell but does not know him. Mitchell apparently has made enough claims about being married to Pressly that some sources have reported it as fact.
