Biography
It may surprise fans to learn that former tomboy-turned-sex symbol Jaime Pressly is actually pretty old-fashioned given her numerous provocative film roles (most prominently as promiscuous Audrey Griffin on the WB's Jack & Jill) and a revealing layout for the March 1998 and February 2004 issues of Playboy magazine.
Jaime started off as a model in the United States, Italy and Japan, which lead to a lot of B-movie roles, most notably Poison Ivy: The New Seduction (1997), before she broke out on Jack & Jill. She recently went back to her roots, becoming a spokesperson and model for Liz Claiborne's perfume "Lucky You."

Pressly openly admits that the idea of performing in front of the cameras for a love scene, and even considers onscreen kissing a little too intimate for comfort. Surprisingly, her conservatism isn't a result of her upbringing, since at the age of 15 she was already legally separated from her parents, and grew up on her own terms.
Born in Kinston, NC, on July 30, 1977, Jaime Pressly started out as a gymnast and dancer. Her classical dance instructor mother coached a young Jaime, who continued to practice gymnastics for the next eleven years.
A true southern girl at heart, Jaime grew up as a tomboy, fishing, climbing trees and hanging with the boys. She is a proud Leo and even has a tattoo on the small of her back in blue Japanese writing meaning “healthy, strong, and brave.” She usually wears her Leo sign necklace and has a mural on a wall of her house with hidden Leo symbols.

Although a trained dancer and gymnast, Jaime eventually entered the modeling world. By the time she was thirteen years old, her recognition was beginning to grow internationally. Appearing on the cover of Teen Magazine, Jaime also toured outside of the country to model in catwalks in Italy and Japan.
At the age of fifteen, the precocious teen legally emancipated from her parents, and began to make the leap to celluloid. Jaime’s first big break as when she worked as Drew Barrymore's body double in the film Poison Ivy (1992) As a result, she was offered the lead in the 1997 sequel, Poison Ivy: The New Seduction, as teenage seductress Violet.
After her role as a prostitute in Poison Ivy, Jaime appeared in the films Against the Law (1997), The Journey: Absolution (1997) and Can't Hardly Wait (1998), where it's safe to say that she stole the show from Jennifer Love Hewitt. In 1998, she appeared in the Jerry Springer film Ringmaster (1998), and was cast as C.J. Callum in Trash (1999) and in Coyote Moon (1999), as Dottie Matthews.
Roomies with Jack and Jill
Jaime hit it big on the small screen in 1999, when she was cast as promiscuous dancer Audrey in the WB's short lived drama, Jack & Jill. While the only thing that she has in common with her character is her love for dance, Jaime is receiving recognition as one of the Jack & Jill babes.
After finding out on her wedding day that her fiancé had sex with her maid of honor, the star of the series, Jacqueline "Jack" Barrett, leaves her old life behind and moves to New York to live with her high school friend, dancer Audrey Griffin (played by Jaime Pressly). Jack soon meets her handsome new upstairs neighbor, David "Jill" Jillefsky, a promising toy designer who already has a longtime girlfriend, Elisa Cronkite. He also has two loyal if quirky buddies: pre-med student Barto Zane and bartender Mikey Russo. Pressly’s character eventually hooks up with the intensely intelligent Barto.

Jaime Pressly hit the jackpot in the WB's short lived drama Jack & Jill -- she became a household name for her feisty character -- and by the time her 2001 film Not Another Teen Movie premiered, she was one of the hottest young actresses in Hollywood.
This Southern girl can also be seen in 2001’s The Adventures of Joe Dirt (with David Spade); Tomcats (with Shannon Elizabeth); and Ticker, where she played the role of Claire Manning.
No stranger to television roles, Jaime appeared in the 1998 television series Push as Nikki Lang and has shared her knowledge on the game show Hollywood Squares. She also hosted a documentary entitled 50 Steamiest Southern Stars in 2005.

Pressly’s career has continued to grow, especially as a commercial endorser. She has been a spokesmodel for Liz Claiborne Cosmetics fragrance "Lucky You" as well as the Candie's Foundation urging teens to wait before having sex. Jamie is also spokesmodel for 1-800-COLLECT and can be seen in Coors Light ads.

Jaime has her clothing line, entitled J'aime Lingerie (J'aime in French translates to "I Love") which she started sketching and designing on the set of her 2004 film Torque. Jaime tried her hand at producing when she took the helm in Death To The Supermodels (2005).

One persistent rumor is that Pressly married a guy named Brodie Mitchell in 1998. Pressly, who has never married, has stated she has heard of Mitchell but does not know him personally. Apparently, Mitchell has repeatedly made claims about being married to Pressly that some sources have reported it as fact.

A self-proclaimed multi-tasker, Jaime is destined to be a star and she was even once called "the Kim Basinger of the 21st Century."
