Jamie Bernadette

Jamie Bernadette was born Jamie Bernadette Watkins and raised in Kankakee, Illinois, a small town about 70 miles south of Chicago. She was the youngest of 9 children. Her father passed away just 4 months after her birth, leaving her mother to raise all of the children on her own. Growing up with very limited means, Jamie quickly learned much about being self-sufficient, industrious, and independent. Jamie was dreaming about being on the big screen since a child of about age 5. She watched movies repeatedly and acted out the scenes, mimicking the actresses she loved. Jamie began acting in Community Theater productions at about age 10 and did some theater in high school as well. Jamie came to a crossroads in her life when she had the choice to stay in her beloved hometown, settle down and get married, or venture out to Los Angeles where dreams of acting awaited her. Jamie came to the decision to try out Hollywood and left with $600 in her pocket and drove across the country by herself. Jamie now has over 70 acting credits. She is the lead role in "I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu", the 5th installment in the popular horror/revenge thriller coming out in early 2019. This film is the true and only sequel of the 1978 original horror cult classic "I Spit on Your Grave". Meir Zarchi returns to direct and write this sequel and the original star, Camille Keaton, returns to reprise her role as Jennifer Hills, who now has a daughter, Christy Hills, played by Jamie. Jamie leads the cast of "4/20 Massacre", which airs on Showtime and The Movie Channel (TMC). She also leads horror film "All Girls Weekend", which has quickly become a fan favorite. Jamie recently produced and co-wrote "The 6th Friend", a horror/psychological thriller in which she plays the lead role that was released in theaters in 2019. Jamie was awarded Best Actress at both the Freak Show Horror Film Festival and the RIP Horror Film Festival for her performance in "The 6th Friend". Jamie's other recent credits include a guest star role on the CBS hit prime time TV show "NCIS: New Orleans" and another guest star role on NBC's "Midnight, Texas". She has worked alongside such greats as John Bradley (Game of Thrones) and Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange) in the recently released drama by Miramax called "American Satan". She was honored to work with Oscar-nominated director Darrell Roodt as the leading role in "The Furnace", an inspirational drama coming out in 2019. In 2017, The Independent Cinema Foundation & Festival Academy recognized Jamie's stellar work in film, naming her 2017 Best Actress. That same year, The Lucky Strike Film Festival awarded Jamie the Rising Star Award. Jamie enjoys travelling, hiking, writing, and photography. - IMDb Mini Biography By: G. Allen
