Jill Hennessy Biography |
|||||||||||||
| Jillian Noel Hennessy is a Canadian actress, best known for her television roles on Law & Order and Crossing Jordan. Hennessy graduated from Grand River Collegiate Institute in Kitchener, Ontario. Hennessy's father, John, was a meat salesman, which required considerable travel and resulted in frequent moves. Her mother, Maxine, left the family. She has a younger brother, John Hennessy Jr., and an identical twin sister, Jacqueline, who is a magazine writer and TV show host in Canada. Jill and Jacqueline played twin prostitutes in Dead Ringers. Hennessy married Paolo Mastropietro, a former bartender and sometime actor, on October 1, 2000. Hennessy also enjoys riding motorcycles with her husband. They also had a second marriage ceremony in January 2001, which took place at New York City Hall with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani officiating. Their son, Marco, was born on September 17, 2003. She is multi-lingual, being able to speak Italian, French, Spanish, and German. This is partly because of her mixed heritage, which includes Irish, Italian, Swedish, French, and Ukrainian. The name Hennessey is of Irish origin. In 2000, Hennessy wrote, produced, and co-directed an independent film called The Acting Class. The film co-starred her sister, and included cameos by a number of Hennessy's former Law & Order co-stars. In 2001 she portrayed the role of Jackie Kennedy in the film Jackie, Ethel, Joan: The Women of Camelot. She also appeared on Broadway in the musical Buddy in 1990. | |||||||||||||
