Jaime Pressly's extensive dance background and her acting ability were showcased in her most memorable television role as Audrey Griffin, an aspiring Broadway dancer, on the series "Jack & Jill.

Born in Kinston, North Carolina, Jaime Pressly grew up as a tomboy who loved to water-ski and fish. Her mom, a highly accomplished classical dance instructor who trains current and future Joffrey Ballet students, put an early claim on her daughter's innate athleticism by teaching her ballet, tap, and jazz, and pointed her towards gymnastics.

At age 13, Jaime Pressly registered with a local modeling agency and began working consistently.
