More on Jennifer Bassey:

Two-time Emmy Nominee Jennifer Bassey was born in Chicago. Her first job in entertainment was as a singing Playboy bunny in the very first Playboy Club. Looking back at her two year stint at the House of Hefner, she recalls, "I was the meanest bunny in the hutch, but I made a fortune, darlings!"

She left her bunny ears behind and was accepted into the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, where she got the lowest entrance marks in the history of the academy. She graduated from the RADA with honors, finishing just below classmate and future Academy Award winner, Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Jennifer then moved to New York City, where she appeared in several Broadway and Off Broadway productions including Neil Simon's California Suite, Not Now Darling directed by George Abbott, In Praise of Love with Rex Harrison and The Homecoming (The Original Royal Shakespeare Production), Moliere's Tartuffe, Wendy Wasserstein's Isn't It Romantic, both staged at the Tribeca Playhouse,The Taming of the Shrew at the Roundabout Theatre, Macbeth at the Stratford Theatre and Love Letters in which she co-starred with Ken Kercheval. 

In 1983, Jennifer won the role of Marian Colby on ABC TV's All My Children. Due to the incredible popularity of the character, Jennifer played Marian Colby for over 30 years. She became a contract player on All My Children in the summer of 1998, after having portrayed the borderline nymphomaniac Marian Colby since the early eighties.

Jennifer has enjoyed a flourishing film career such feature films as Waxwork, Twogether (which also featured both the performing and directing talents of Nick Cassavetes) and Dunston Checks In, where in a scene-stealing, skin revealing moment, she received an orgasmic massage from an orangutan!

Jennifer has achieved prime-time success as a guest star on Law And Order, Body of Proof and Grey's Anatomy. Other notable TV appearances include LA Law, Falcon Crest, Murphy Brown, Silk Stalkings, Matlock and Coach. Most recently Jennifer had a guest starring role on ABC's General Hospital.

In addition to her Daytime Emmy nominations, Jennifer has also received two Soap Opera Digest Awards, the second of which was shared with her costar David Canary for Favorite Couple.

Jennifer shared her life for 30 years with famous playwright and screenwriter Luther Davis until his death in 2008. In November of 2016, Jennifer became engaged to George Bamford, a Law & Order alum and fellow actor. They were later married in the spring of 2018.
