“Beauty will save the world” - many now refute this saying, but not Jamie King. The blue-eyed lady conquered all people with her piercing gaze, sweet radiant smile and determination. How the girl achieved success and became famous throughout the world is described in this article.
early years
Jamie King was born on April 23, 1979 in a city called Omaha, Nebraska (United States of America). They brought up baby Nancy and Robert King. The girl herself was also responsible for her younger brother named Barry, and also took a good example from her older sister - Sandy. Parents chose the name of the future star in honor of the heroine Jamie Sommer, who was present in the TV show "Bionic Woman".
From a young age, the young woman knew what she wanted to achieve and what she wanted to become, so she tried to keep up with nowhere. At school, she was an excellent student, and in addition to homework, she was persistently engaged in self-development.
Fourteen-year-old Jamie King saw herself in modeling. She was often seen at the local Nancy Bounds studio. The agency noted its external parameters and ease of behavior in front of the camera. From that moment, the professional career of a young lady began.
Fashion industry
An ambitious girl with a great future was invited to work as a model in New York. When the lady turned fifteen, photos of Jamie King graced the covers of glossy magazines Vogue and the American youth newspaper Seventeen. A year later, the model boasted of published photos in Glamor and Harper's Bazaar.
Numerical collaboration with various brands and incredible success brought Jamie to the world level. But the reputation was greatly tarnished by gossip about drug abuse. At that time, the model met with photographer David Sorenti, who died of an overdose. The tragic event left a mark in her life.
The girl managed to regain her former name thanks to the refusal of drugs: she went through a rehabilitation course and attended special sessions with a psychologist. After that, Jamie King actively collaborated with Revlon (even became her face), Dior and Chanel. Sometimes she shared the podium with the Victoria's Secret angels.
Film career
The first role went to the comedy "Summer Fun". The credits indicated the alias of the girl - James King. Later, the game followed in the legendary American film Cocaine and in the Oscar-winning action movie Pearl Harbor.
In the novel "Heavy Farewell," Jamie played the main characters - the twin sisters Goldie and Wendy. This film received a technical grand prix at the famous Cannes Film Festival (2005). At the same time, King participated in the creation of the films "Money for Two" (where she shared the set with Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey) and "Wholesale is cheaper than 2".
Not only cinema is engaged in a girl. The model is actively involved in television projects. These are “Lonely Hearts”, “Secrets in the Kitchen”, and “Zoe Hart from the Southern State”. She was the host of the Scream Queens show and voiced one of the characters in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
In addition to acting, Jamie tried herself as a director, screenwriter and producer. So, the world saw her two short films - The Break In and Latch Key.
