Date of Birth 23 April 1979 Birth place Omaha, Nebraska, USA Height 5' 9" (1.75 m) Jaime King is an American film actress and model.

Born Jamie King in Omaha, Nebraska, the young girl sought to broaden her horizons and asked that she be allowed to attend the local modeling school. At age fourteen, at the school's final presentation, King was discovered by New York model agent Michael Flutie, who offered the teen beauty a shot at stardom. King was soon on the fast track, appearing in all the major magazines, including Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Allure.

Displaying a more playful personality and down-to-earth appeal than the average stone-faced model, King had something special that would elevate her quickly to supermodel ranks, but along with her great successes came big problems. Young and free with money to spend, the model was on the party circuit, and drug use soon became more of a lifestyle than a recreation. 

When the life of her then-boyfriend, an up and coming photographer was cut short reportedly due to a drug overdose, King determinedly worked to straighten up her life. By 1998, she was back in business, co-hosting MTV's fashion series "House of Style" with Rebecca Romijn-Stamos.

With her likeness in countless magazines and her name on the lips of those in the know, King had made a name for herself in the fashion industry, but her teenage party girl past threatened to shadow her accomplishments.

In 1999, King began lensing her first feature, "Happy Campers" (screened at Sundance Film Festival in 2001), co-starring as counselor Pixel in this teen comedy written and directed by "Heathers" screenwriter Daniel Waters. Next up for the actress was a supporting turn as the grown up daughter of Johnny Depp's enterprising drug dealer George Jung in the drama "Blow" (2001), directed by Ted Demme.
