Jill Anderson(I)
- Actress
- Camera and Electrical Department
Born in Omaha, Nebraska, Jill Anderson attended and graduated from
Central High School. It was while in high school that she was bitten by
the acting bug. "I was in high school chorus and was cast as the lead
in many shows. From my acting, I received a lot of reaffirmation. I
always knew I had to be an actor." She received her BFA in dramatic
arts, magna cum laude, from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Since
graduation, she has made her living by writing jingles, acting in
commercials, doing voice-over work and singing for weddings and
churches. She made her first foray into film with the television movie
"Love Kills" and had a bit part in Sean Penn's "Indian Runner." Her big
break came in 1994 with the co-lead in "Omaha: the Movie." Her
performance caught the attention of a Disney executive and she moved to
L.A., where she got an agent. After six months she packed it up and
returned to Omaha. In 1998 released her CD "Cool of the Day," which
features 12 Irish and Scottish songs. Her follow up was "Seven Songs."
Her fantasy roles include: Lady MacBeth and Beatrice from "Much
Ado."
