Jill Anderson

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."
