***Jennie was born on April 3, 1972 on a horse farm in Urbana IL. She is the youngest of John and Caroline's seven children. Jennie has 4 sisters; Lisa, Camine, Wendy, Lynn, she also has 2 brothers; Johnny and Chuck. Jennie had a wonderful childhood. She spent her time riding her horse Golden Boy Jet. Due to her father's heart attack, she moved to Phoenix, AZ at age 13. Jennie was not too thrilled about the move, but she adjusted. It was here she found her love of dance. She once thought she would have her own studio and teach dance. It was here that she modeled and participated in pagents. She was spotted by Randy James at the Arizona Cinderella Pagent. He told her she should try acting. So, Jennie graduated 2 years early and headed out to L.A. She took acting classes and soon landed small roles. She then got the role of Kelly Taylor. It took 5 takes, but I think it was probably worth it. At the beginning Kelly's part was small, but it got larger. As Jennie's character took center stage it sparked rumors of Shannon Dougherty's jealousy towards her. Well she's off the show now, so I won't say anything more about that. Jennie's popularity is now worldwide due to the show. It has also provided her with more opportunities. Jennie is a very talented actress and producer. I read she also has plans of directing. In December of 95', Jennie met Peter Facinelli on the set of AN UNFINISHED AFFAIR. Her and Peter are currently living together and have a beautiful baby girl. (I saw her picture on Regis & Kathie Lee she is truly beautiful) Peter proposed to Jennie, they are getting married this summer!
