Biographie

After the cancellation of Un toit pour dix (1987), Jamie attended the Epicurean Cooking School in Los Angeles, then apprenticed as a cook and landed a job as a chef in a French restaurant.

On the set of Profiler (1996), she gushed what she thought was fake blood after she accidentally smashed her hand through a window during filming of a gruesome murder scene. When she suddenly realized it was her own, she went into shock. She was rushed to a hospital, where doctors stitched her wound shut.

Made her first commercial (tissues commercial) at the age of 4. Suzanne Somers played her mom.

Got her start on TV on Quoi de neuf, docteur ? (1985) and its 1988 spin-off Un toit pour dix (1987).

After Aaron Spelling's Savannah (1996) was axed, she bought a trailer and traveled around the United States for a year.

I'm getting to know myself. I focused this year on nothing but my craft. I've dealt with a lot of producers and executives, speaking up for what I need and what I want. I never did that before.
