Early Life and Education: Growing Up in England

Jennie was born into an English family alongside six brothers and sisters, in Walgrave Hospital, which is located in the city of Coventry in the West Midlands region of England. There is no available information on her parents’ names, nor do we know anything about their professions or locations. Despite being a celebrity, Jennie has successfully avoided any and all inquiries involving her parents and siblings. This is a clear sign of her professionalism, as she refuses to let anything from her private life interfere with her career. However, we do know that the Jacques family moved around quite a lot, as young Jennie spent a significant amount of time of her childhood in towns such as Leamington Spa and Warwick, for no apparent reason. Additionally, we are unable to find out whether she acquired her skills by attending a formal institution or if she developed the skills necessary for her career in some other manner. What has been confirmed, however, is that she matriculated from an unspecified high school in 2008.

Career Beginnings: The Bill, Desperate Romantics and More

Unlike most modern day stars, Jennie’s resume is devoid of any credits during her teenage years, so something of a late bloomer. Her first role was that of Katie Fielding in the hit ITV police drama “The Bill”. The series, filmed mainly in South London, follows the life of police officers dealing with crime in the capital city of Great Britain. Jennie played a seminal role in “Teenage Kicks”, a two-part episode, which experience allowed her to make a name for herself and kickstart her career. Almost immediately afterwards, Jacques assumed the role of Annie Miller in the mini-series, “Desperate Romantics” – set in 19th century London, it covers the life and struggles of England’s artistic elite at the time, with a focus on social circumstances characteristic of the Victorian era. She appeared in all six of the series’ episodes, garnering a great amount of attention and furthering her already solid reputation.
