Introduction

From getting funky on Club MTV to heating up the bedroom with Don Cheadle, brown-eyed beauty Jennifer Esposito is a woman we love, no matter what ethnicity she’s playing.

Life Story

Born in Brooklyn and raised on Staten Island in a semi-traditional Italian home, Jennifer got her start dancing on Club MTV, then gradually rose through the ranks doing small parts in films like A Brooklyn State of Mind, No Looking Back (Lauren Holly) and He Got Game (Rosario Dawson, Milla Jovovich). In 1998, she played Nancy in the teen hit I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (forming quite a hot-chick trifecta with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Brandy) and honed her dumb-blonde routine opposite Michael J. Fox on Spin City (Heather Locklear, Connie Britton).

But her breakout role as a “serious” actress probably didn’t occur until 2004, when she played Ria, a Puerto Rican-El Salvadorian police detective who doesn’t like to wear shirts when she makes love (and who can blame her?) in the Best Picture-winner Crash (Sandra Bullock, Thandie Newton). That led to a starring role on the WB drama Related (Kiele Sanchez, Lizzy Caplan, Laura Breckenridge), but it was canceled after only 19 episodes. And speaking of calling it quits after not much time, in 2006 Jennifer married actor Bradley Cooper (he of the bad-guy-from-Wedding-Crashers fame), only to file for divorce from him eight months later.

These days, Jennifer is busy mining laughs with Christina Applegate on the ABC comedy Samantha Who? (at least until it gets canceled…not that we’re saying it will, it’s just that these things eventually happen), and she’ll star with Val Kilmer and Gary Cole in the Iraq War-related drama Conspiracy—putting to rest those rumors that she’d never do an Iraq War-related movie with Val Kilmer, let alone Gary Cole.
