Jeannette Papineau
- Actress
- Producer
Jeannette Papineau was born and raised in Northern Florida. Her acting
pursuits began in 1995 while attending FCCJ College for a degree in
business and performing arts. Jeannette got her start when a local TV
movie was being filmed at Jacksonville beach, entitled "The Baby
Sitters Seduction" where she was found by a talent scout that would
place her in her first TV-movie role. In 1996 Jeannette moved to Los
Angeles to further her pursuits in acting and eventually landed other
roles and bit parts on various television shows including "Beverly
Hills 90210", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "The Love Boat, Next Wave",
"The Lot", and other television productions. One of her most memorable
TV works was "The Mann Show" where she was called back as a recurring
character in 3 different episodes. "I had most fun in the "Manpon"
scene", she says, "its a complete crack up". Jeannette finds slap stick
comedy humorous and thus ventured into more comedic roles. She appeared
on "Mad TV" and other spots for Comedy Central. One of which she
remembers quite well where she played "Miss California" in a commercial
for a game show called "Versus". "It was shot on the Santa Monica pier,
right around the corner from where I lived" she says, and continued "I
was happy that the stunt coordinator had me wear knee pads for the
fight scene, otherwise my knees would have took a killing, it was fun,
my first one on one fight with a camera, I kicked its photo-lens right
in the tripod". Jeannette has been in eight major films and has been
fortunate to have had scenes in a handful of Hollywood blockbusters
where she met alot of star actors, producers and directors. While
continuing her career in acting Jeannette starred in two music videos
for the bands, "Nsync" and "Oleander" and has done several commercials.
Jeannette was a model for top fashion designers including "Jordache
Jeans" and "Alberto Makali" for several years and has studied with "The
Van Mar Academy" and various other personal acting coaches. Jeannette
is always seeking new creative roles where she can bring forth her
level of depth in her wide range of character portrayals and is
represented by a highly acclaimed agent.
