Jeanne Allen

Jeanne Marie Frances Allen was reared in Manhattan Beach, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. Following in the footsteps of her older sister Madison Allen, Jeanne began auditioning for various roles at the age of nine months. Her first booking was a commercial for the German Add Train company at age four, and she continued to book commercials throughout childhood. Jeanne's acting career picked up at age eight, when she booked her first feature length film, Emma's Wish (1998). During this time, Jeanne was enrolled in school at American Martyrs School in Manhattan Beach; she continued at this school until she graduated in the eighth grade. Upon graduating from American Martyrs School, Jeanne enrolled in Mira Costa High School for the remainder of her primary schooling. In 2004, Jeanne earned a special role on The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited (2004), that combined her two loves - acting and dancing. After her rewarding experience on "The Dick Van Dyke Show Revisited", Jeanne began to dabble in voice-overs. She lent her voice to various television shows, including Malcolm in the Middle (2000). Although Jeanne's passion for acting had not faded, she decided to take a brief hiatus from the acting world to enroll in college at the University of Texas at Austin. As of December 2011, Jeanne is taking full advantage of the academic environment at UT. She is working towards her BA in Studio Art and a minor in Business. In addition to her academic endeavors, Jeanne pledged Chi Omega Fraternity and remains dedicated to her first love of acting.
