Jennifer Love Hewitt was born on February 21 1979. Jennifer was born in Waco, Texas, USA. Jennifer's older brother Todd Daniel Hewitt, had a crush on a little blonde girl, which is where Jennifer got her first name from. Her mother Patricia, is a speech pathologist and her father, Danny, is a medical technician. She was 6 months old when her parents separated. She was then raised by her mother in Harker Heights, Texas where they moved recently after her parents' divorce. She made her official performing debut at the age of 3 where she sang at a livestock show. She was then taking tap, jazz, and ballet lessons when she was 5. Jennifer then led herself to joining the Texas Show Team.

Jennifer found commercial work and a role on Disney's Kids Incorporated in 1984. Plus she also went through a series of t.v flops before before hitting it big on Party of Five in 1995. She and her family moved to L.A. with the encouragement of talent scouts, while her brother Todd stayed behind to finish high school in Texas.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is my hero because she went through junior high and high school listening to people say that she had big ears. But even though she said it hurt too much she just wanted to stay home forever, she moved on with her life and didn't let them stop her. Years later she become an actress and had a successful life. For example she was in music videos, movies, and even magazines. Now she says to not let people's hurtful words stop you from being just you.

In 1984 she was in the television show Kids Incorporated. Jennifer has had much more success as a pop singer and movie star when she and her family were known as Love by family and friends. Jennifer finally had the opportunity to star opposite material-arts favorite Jackie Chan in The Tuxedo in the year 2002. She got a Saturn nomination for best actress in 2006 movie hit Ghost Whisperer. Jennifer says to be who you wanna be, not what others want you to be. She even admitted that all through high school she was bullied about her so called large ears. But even though it hurt Jennifer very much, she didn't let that stop her from becoming successful and moving on with her life.
