Jeri
graduated from Lone Oak High School in Paducah,
KY in 1986, then attended Northwestern University,
where she earned a B.A. in Theater in 1990. While
in college, she won the sixth annual Miss Northwestern
Alpha Delta Phi Pageant in 1989. She also won the
talent contest singing "On My Own" from Les Miserables
and co-won the swimsuit contest. Later, Jeri was
Miss Illinois 1990 and competed in the Miss America
pageant, where she won the swimsuit competition
and placed third runner-up. But if you think she's
all looks and no brains, you're wrong; while in
school Jeri was also a National Merit Scholar.
Jeri joined
the cast of the NBC series Dark Skies midway through
its first and only season, with the episode "The
Warren Omission." Looking back on the show, Jeri
notes that she liked the people and the premise,
but felt that NBC had given up on the series by
the time she arrived on the scene. "Dark Skies had
a lot of potential," she says. "The show was just
finding its footing when it got canceled." Jeri
also found time to film roles in two independent
features. Men Cry Bullets was billed as "a tragic
comedy that uses gender reversal to demonstrate
the insidiousness of an abusive relationship." On
the other hand, "The Last Man is about the last
three people on Earth, and I'm the last woman,"
says Jeri. "I know it sounds like sci-fi, but it's
really not. I hope they get the film released. It's
a small, but very good film." |
