Mini Biography
Jennifer Love Hewitt got her first name from her older brother Todd Daniel Hewitt (b. November 8, 1970), who picked the name after a little blonde girl he then had a crush on. Her mother selected her middle name, Love, which she goes by offstage from her best friend at college. Her mother, Pat, is a speech pathologist and her father, Danny, is a medical technician.

Personal Quotes
[In a Playboy interview, Love commented about her breasts] "I just accepted them as a great accessory to every outfit".
"When I came to Los Angeles, it was the first time that I ever felt like I belonged somewhere. Not because it was wacky, but because people here understood what I felt like to perform, and there were other kids my age who wanted to do it. I didn't get looked at as, 'God, you freak.'"
"I don't consider myself a great dresser either. But I try. Most of the time I'm in khakis and a white T-shirt. I'm a total Gap girl. Super casual, hair in a pony tail and no makeup." - in response to being voted as one of the Worst Dressed by People magazine.
"We had this joke on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997). All the girls wore tiny tops, so we called it "I Know What Your Breasts Did Last Summer"."
"I try to find things that are insanely cheap and brilliant. My Bonne Bell lip gloss is about 75 cents, and I have worn it as my lipstick to almost every main event in Hollywood in the past two years." - quoted in Woman's World (27 December 2005)
"I would just love once to be called sexy. Just because it would make me something other than cute."
