[edit] Personal life

Born and raised in Southern California, Jennifer Freeman knew from an early age that she wanted to be an actress. Jennifer grew up in Long Beach with her mother and a pair of younger twin sisters. It was at the early age of 13 that she was discovered in a grocery store and a talent manager gave her a business card.

Several months later, the family moved to Northern California. However, the dream was not forgotten, not by Jennifer. A year later the family returned to Long Beach in support of her acting career. Soon after returning, Jennifer called up the manager, who began sending her out to casting directors immediately, and it wasn't long before she began booking modeling jobs and television commercials.

Jennifer's television credits include My wife and kids, 7th Heaven, One on One, Lizzie McGuire, Scrubs, Disney's Even Stevens and Disney Movie Surfers. Her movie credits include a feature role in Johnson Family Vacation, and You Got Served & Mercy Street. She also appeared in the movies The Seventies and the independent film The Visit. Her stage credits include the Los Angeles-area productions of The Wiz, in which she played Dorothy, and Billa in "The Gift".

Jennifer began a nationwide print and television campaign as one of "the young fresh faces" of Neutrogena. In 2003 TV Guide named her as one of the Top 10 Hot Teens to watch. In her spare time she likes to write, sing, swim, rollerblade, cook, dance, play basketball and shop.

Jennifer has been linked to R&B singer Marques Houston but are no longer together.

Jennifer is also co-starring in the upcoming film, Backdown.
