Jamie lynn actress
Jamie-Lynn Sigler has been acting and singing since the age of 7. She got her start in New York regional theater, and has since starred in over two dozen theatrical productions including "Annie," "The Wizard of Oz," "The Sound of Music," "The Wiz," and "Gypsy." In the summer of 2001, she starred in the touring production of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's "Cinderella," playing the lead opposite Eartha Kitt. Jamie made her Broadway debut starring as Belle in Disney's Broadway production of "Beauty and the Beast" from October of 2002 through February 2003. A passionate performer whose love of singing and dancing had nothing to do with landing her role as a sexy mob daughter on the acclaimed HBO series "The Sopranos," Jamie-Lynn Sigler was primed for the stage at very young age. She requested dance lessons at the age of three and Sigler's mother obliged and enrolled her daughter in a dance school. Singing and acting lessons soon followed and by the age of 9, Sigler had begun acting in her hometown Long Island community theater productions. Throughout her adolescent and teen years, Sigler starred in many productions including "The Wizard of Oz," "The Goodbye Girl" and "Annie." It was a tape of her performance in "Annie" that landed Sigler a manager and it was through this manager that Sigler got her big break. Her manager suggested she try out for a part on the television pilot "The Sopranos" thinking the musical-sounding title might offer Sigler a chance to showcase her vocal skills. But it was Sigler's sassy portrayal of the eldest daughter in a suburban New Jersey modern day mafia family that won over the show's producer and director. Early on, the show's producers actually wanted to yank Sigler and replace her with a blond actress but it was decided it would be too expensive to re-shoot all the scenes. So Sigler had secured herself as a made character in one of the most popular and critically acclaimed dramas of the decade. In 1999, after filming the "Sopranos" pilot, Sigler was still in high school and a rough break up with her boyfriend. This disappointment led to dangerously obsessive exercise habits coupled with a drastically restricted diet. Sigler's drastic weight loss and unhealthy behavior led her to eventually admit she was anorexic and seek treatment. Though the producers threatened to not let Sigler work, she recovered from her disease and became a spokesperson for eating disorders for two national organizations.
