Jennifer Siebel Biography

I lost my older sister in an accident in Hawaii a few days before my seventh birthday. Stacey was my idol and best friend, and I blamed myself for her tragedy. As early on as I can remember, I have tried to make up for her loss by being the “perfect” kid, whether it was for better or for worse.

At first, I channeled that extra energy into exploring the outdoors, performing arts, and playing sports. I found solace in travel and communing with wildlife and nature. I loved to dance and sing, and was constantly putting on dance shows and one-acts for family and friends. In grade school, I starred in several musical theater productions. I downhill ski raced, ice skated, and rode horses competitively. By the time high school came around, team sports were my main refuge. I played on the varsity tennis, basketball, and soccer teams. At 16, I was a starting marking back on the Junior National Soccer Team and was recruited to play soccer at Stanford.

After a while at Stanford, however, my focus diverged from sports and I began to direct my energy toward social work — particularly internationally. I spent a summer advising indigenous communities in La Amistad Biosphere Reserve, Costa Rica, on various environmentally sustainable micro-credit opportunities available to them, I studied wildlife management and the culling of big game on a nature reserve outside of Nairobi, Kenya, and I worked with women in the San Bushmen communities of Botswana to market and export their environmentally and socially responsible artisan goods.

Upon graduation from Stanford, I worked in a children’s hospital in Quito , Ecuador . Soon after, I took a job with Conservation International (CI), a global environmental organization whose mission it is to protect the environment for future generations. I joined their enterprise and corporate partnerships divisions and was able to combine my interests in business, entrepreneurship, and conservation by providing local indigenous communities, governments, and multinational corporations with economic, political, and social incentives to live in harmony with nature. With CI, I traveled throughout Latin America, Africa, and Europe on assignments before returning to Stanford to receive my Master’s in Business Administration.

While I was really enjoying my time back at Stanford, I felt my passion for the arts reemerging, and I started to spend any free time I had in the drama department. I became aware of a deep compassion and vulnerability I’d garnered during my humanitarian work that proved fortuitous to my acting and compelled me to study the craft. Pretty soon, I was taking night classes at San Francisco ’s American Conservatory Theater. My experience there helped me solidify a decision I’d been flirting with since my childhood…to move to Los Angeles and pursue a career in the arts.

I hadn’t been in Hollywood but for a few days before I plunged headfirst into the independent film community. Because I had carried with me the invaluable experiences I’d had all over the world with CI, I explored the possibilities of developing feature film projects focused on strong, complex female characters in international and minority contexts. My love of Africa and my passion for conservation and poverty alleviation throughout the world inspired me to seek out and develop diverse projects that would bring awareness to causes worthier than my own.  

When I first moved to Los Angeles , certain family and acquaintances urged me to reconsider…Why pursue such a challenging career at this point in your life?  And, after getting your MBA at Stanford? My answer: they’re all connected. Arts, politics, humanitarianism, the environment, poverty alleviation, global peace, homelessness, education, etc…they are all intertwined. Hollywood has a voice. It has a very powerful voice. Is it the smartest, most informed, purest voice? Certainly not. But its’ voice resonates throughout the world through modern technology and global distribution systems. It affects and influences our mindsets and actions every day. If one can’t beat it, why not infiltrate it. It’s just another means to an end.

I feel very grateful to be living this creative life. It’s extremely satisfying to be able to challenge and stretch myself with new stories, characters, situations, and roles. I love delving into a character’s psyche, history, relationships, patterns, motivation, and circumstances. I love other cultures. I love the mind and how it works. I find myself in a perpetual state of curiosity about humanity, and acting allows me to explore it all.

I love what I do. I love this craft. My life is full. My hope is to move audiences, to take them somewhere new and far away. I want to encourage them to ask questions and challenge themselves….to be curious about life and their role in it. I want them to be inspired enough to leave a positive mark, no matter how small, on this planet. I believe that we — on a collective and individual level — have a responsibility to make this world a safer, healthier place for future generations. On a personal level, I think I just want to be the change I know Stacey would have made in the world.

Alison Sweeney Photos and Biography

Alison Ann Sweeney (born September 19, 1976) is an American soap opera actress. She was born in Los Angeles, California.

Sweeney is best known for her portrayal of Samantha “Sami” Gene Brady on the American soap opera Days of Our Lives. In this role, she has earned four Soap Opera Digest Awards and a Fan Voted Daytime Emmy Award. She has been on Days since January 22, 1993. A teenage actress on the soap, she took fellow Days star Bryan Dattilo to her high school prom.

As quintessential “anti-heroine” Sami Brady, Alison Sweeney developed a strong fan base as the woman whom “Days of our Lives” fans loved to hate. Due in no small part to Sweeney’s acting skills, audiences seemed to forgive Sami, no matter how many evil things she did to those around her.

Born on Sept. 19, 1976, the Pasadena, CA native grew up in a creative and musical family which included a mother who was an accomplished studio violinist. Sweeney made her television debut in a national commercial for Kodak when she was four years old. She soon took on speaking roles in episodic TV shows such as “Simon & Simon” (CBS, 1981-88) “Webster” (ABC, 1983-89) “Tales from the Darkside” (syndicated, 1984-88) and “St. Elsewhere” (NBC, 1982-88). Ironically, Sweeney’s first gig on “Days of Our Lives” (NBC, 1965- ) during the late 1980s was not as Sami Brady – but as a young Adrienne Johnson in flashback. In only a few years, the more matured actress would make a triumphant return to the soap that would put her name on the map.

In 1993, Sweeney tested for and won the core family character, Samantha Gene “Sami” Brady, daughter of Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall). Through the course of her teen years and beyond, Sami dealt with bulimia, date rape and teen pregnancy, but her character was nobody’s victim. She became more “the girl you loved to hate” but begrudgingly liked because she was so over the top. Some of Sami’s most memorable bits: kidnapping her baby half-sister Belle; drugging hunky Austin Reed, the objective of her obsession, into bed; lying that Austin was the father of her son, Will… The list went on and on. Viewers could not ascertain who was crazier – Sami or her devil-possessed mother, Marlene.

When head writer James E. Reilly left the show in the late 1990s, the new writers curbed Sami’s evil ways, playing on the audience’s sympathies by sending her to death row and having her lose her true love Austin (again) at the altar. When Reilly returned to the soap in 2003, Sami’s wicked ways resurfaced to her fans’ delight. While many of her fellow actress co-stars opted to leave (or were written off) “Days” over the years, Sweeney’s over 10-year run remained uninterrupted, except for a brief maternity leave in 2005. The actress so inhabited her role that “Days” executives decided not to bring on a temporary fill-in actress when Sweeney took time off to be with her new baby. Instead, actor Dan Wells took on the part and Sami went undercover as a man!

While remaining a staple of the Salem-based soap, Sweeney managed to build her acting resume, appearing on TV series such as “American Dreams” (NBC, 2002-05) and “Las Vegas” (NBC, 2003- ), both in 2004. She spoofed herself as the fictional daytime star “Jessica Ashley” on a 2001 episode of “Friends” (NBC, 1994-2004), “The One with Joey’s Award,” in which she presents a soap award to Matt LeBlanc’s Joey Tribbiani. As herself, Sweeney also appeared on several talk and game shows, even winning the celebrity version of NBC’s “Weakest Link” in 2002.

Through the years, Sweeney’s portrayal of Salem’s resident bad girl won her numerous fan awards including four Soap Opera Digest Awards (1996, ‘98, ‘99 and 2001) and – in an overwhelming show of fan support – a 2002 Daytime Emmy for “America’s Favorite Villain.”

The actress also penned her autobiography All the Days of My Life (So Far), which was published in 2004. Earning critical raves for her freshman effort, Sweeney shared with fans her painful high school memories, past “Days” storylines, and most important, her struggle to lose and keep off weight – something Sweeney grew up battling in front of America.

In the 1990s, Sweeney struggled with her weight. She eventually was a dress size 12, not obese by medical standards, but still quite larger than her television peers. She documented all the tabloid talk and personal anguish in her 2004 memoir, All The Days of My Life (So Far).

In 2002, she appeared on a celebrity episode of the NBC reality game show Fear Factor. Her appearance was notable for her panic at being in a “coffin” with large flatworms, Madagascar hissing cockroaches, and snakes.

On February 25, 2005, Sweeney gave birth to a son Benjamin Edward Sanov at 10:30 AM. Sweeney currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband David Sanov, a California highway patrolman, who once appeared on Days of Our Lives in the role of a police officer. She now hosts the fifth season of The Biggest Loser. Sweeney replaced Caroline Rhea in the fourth season.

Alison Eastwood Biography

Alison Eastwood (born on May 22, 1972, in Carmel, California) is an American film director, Hollywood actress, fashion model, and fashion designer.

The daughter of swimsuit model Maggie Johnson and the movie star and film director Clint Eastwood (and younger sister to Kyle Eastwood), she attended Santa Catalina School in Monterey, California and Stevenson School in Pebble Beach. Eastwood was a rebellious teenager. When she was eighteen, in 1990, Eastwood moved to Santa Barbara to study acting.

The daughter of Clint Eastwood, creamy-complected, green-eyed blonde Alison Eastwood debuted opposite her actor-director dad in “Tightrope” (1984) playing his daughter. But when it came to her first significant adult role in her father’s “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” (1997), she had to audition several times (and wait) like anybody else. Eastwood then landed starring roles in a pair of independent films, Rick Rosenthal’s “Isn’t It Romantic?” and Glenn Freyer’s “Suicide: The Comedy”, which both began lensing in 1997.

She was featured in the murder mystery “Black & White” (1998) and appeared “Breakfast of Champions” (1999), which starred Bruce Willis and Albert Finney. In 2003, Eastwood was cast in the male dominated feature “Poolhall Junkies,” in which she portrayed a law student and the love interest to Mars Callahan’s character.

Head of her own production company, Purple Rose, Eastwood is developing a movie version of Moliere’s “Misanthrope” and owns the rights for her pet project, the Jean Harlow biography “Bombshell”. Bearing a resemblance to the tragic star she plans to portray, the actress has stated that she feels a special kinship with the intelligent Harlow whom the Hollywood machine typecast as a bubbleheaded blonde vixen.

In addition to rebelling against her parents and being arrested for drunk driving, Eastwood also landed some professional acting roles during her childhood and preadolescent years. Her acting in the 1984 movie Tightrope won her some degree of success. She has also worked as a runway and magazine model in Paris, posing for several European fashion magazines and Vogue (U.S. edition). She posed nude in the February 2003 issue of Playboy.

More recently, Eastwood has again appeared on screen. Credits include the movie Absolute Power (1997), Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997), Black and White (1998), Breakfast of Champions (1999), and Poolhall Junkies (2003).

Eastwood has also moved into working behind the camera. She was an associate producer for Don’t Tell in 2005, and directed her first movie, Rails & Ties, in 2007. Eastwood has her own clothing line, called the Eastwood Ranch.
