Jeanine Anderson

Jeanine Anderson was born in Detroit Michigan to Robert Anderson and Jane O'Donnell Anderson. Robert was an engineer with the Ford Motor Co. And Jane was a piano teacher. Heading to Los Angeles after graduating college and not knowing anyone there except her then boyfriend, she enrolled in a summer theatre course at UCLA in order to make some friends and pursue her love of acting. She was soon cast in the Lanford Wilson play The Rimers of Eldritch where she played the pivotal role of Eva Jackson directed by guest director Edward Binns. At the closing night cast party at Mr. Binn's home Jeanine asked Mr. Binns if he had any advice for her in pursuing a career in Hollywood. He advised her to move back to the Midwest and have a happy life. She didn't follow that suggestion. Soon after Jeanine heard about The Melrose Theatre, an acting company headed by actor and teacher Paul Kent. She auditioned and was accepted as a member and there she performed in many plays.
