Jennie Fahn is a writer, actor, and mom. Originally from New York, Jennie is a long-time resident of her adopted city of Los Angeles. Her latest one-woman show, UNDER THE JELLO MOLD, premiered at the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival where it won Best Solo Performance and Producer’s Encore awards and was named ‘Pick of the Fringe’, as well as earning a nomination for Top Of The Fringe (the only solo show to do so). She has developed the show into a screenplay, which was a semi-finalist in the Diverse Voices Screenwriting Contest, and a second-rounder in the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition. Her first one-woman show, YOU MUTHA! A ONE-MOTHER SHOW, ran for two years in Los Angeles and was featured in the 2005 N.Y. Fringe Festival. On the big screen, Jennie can be seen in GLORIA BELL, SPINNING MAN, and MUSE. You can see her on smaller screens on episodes of GAMES PEOPLE PLAY (BET), I'M DYING UP HERE (Showtime), ONE DAY AT A TIME (Netflix), GREY'S ANATOMEY:B-TEAM (ABC.com) and THE MIDDLE (ABC). Or you may catch her on a re-run of HEROES, WITHOUT A TRACE, THE BERNIE MAC SHOW, MY NAME IS EARL, WILL AND GRACE, and BECKER. She has been seen extensively in many Los Angeles theatre productions. She wrote and directed her own short film, BREAK, and is the writer/co-star (with Tippi Hedren) of the short TEA WITH GRANDMA. When not performing, Jennie is proudly spending time with her family: husband Jonathan, and sons, Harry and Sammy, and the only other girl in the house, Addie (their dog).
