Jenny was born November 1, 1972, in Chicago, Illinois. Jenny
is a well seasoned supermodel, television personality and
actress. She is the second of four daughters born to a hard
working, middle class family, her mother a housewife, and her
father a steel mill foreman. Jenny grew up on the south side
of Chicago and her father always worked overtime to send his
girls to an expensive Catholic school. As a youngster, Jenny
had the dream of becoming a Olivia Newton-John or Lynda
Carter.
When Jenny was nine, she dressed in country-and-western
attire, and with her grandmother's gargantuan sized bra
stuffed with socks, she played Dolly Parton for Halloween.
After graduating from high school, Jenny attended Southern
Illinois University to study nursing. After two years of
college, she decided to embark on a modeling career.
Jenny, being a believer in angels, looked to the sky and saw
the Playboy building. She says that, "Something drew me
there". My self-conscious was going, "no, no, no", but my
inner drive was going, "Yes, Yes, Yes". Jenny delivered
pictures of herself to Playboy. The editors liked what they
saw and offered her $20,000 to pose for Miss October 1993.
With this exposure, she won the Playmate of the Year, along
with a $100,000 salary, and a bevy of promotional duties.
Jenny moved from her native Chicago to seek fame and fortune
in the City of Angels. Jenny soon learned that auditions were
hard to come by even for a Playmate, but her incessancy landed
an interview at MTV. Fortunately, MTV's producers liked what
they saw in Jenny, and she was hired to co-host "Singled Out",
which debuted in the Summer of 1995.
Jenny's snappy banter and amusing facial expressions made her
an overnight success. MTV was eager to keep her as host and
came up with a whooping $500,000 one year contract that
promoted her to full-fledged VJ. They also gave Jenny an
opportunity to format the program to best suit her talents.
Playboy, keen to further their relationship with Jenny,
offered $500,000 for more nude pictures of the blonde beauty.
It looks like this is one Playmate that won't be replaced for
a long time.
In 2003, McCarthy appeared in Scary Movie 3 along with model
and actress Pamela Anderson. In 2005, McCarthy starred in
Dirty Love along with Carmen Electra. The same year, McCarthy
hosted a new show on E! called Party at the Palms. The reality
show, which is filmed at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas,
features hotel guests, party goers and celebrities acting
outrageously with McCarthy. In March 2006, she was given
Razzie Awards for "Worst Actress," "Worst Screenplay," and
"Worst Picture" for her work on Dirty Love, which also netted
her then-husband, John Asher, a Razzie for "Worst Director." |
