We
are thrilled to announce that GKM has the honor to now be representing
Twice Emmy Award-nominated JENNIFER BASSEY. Jennifer Bassey became a
contract player on ABC TV's "ALL MY CHILDREN" in the summer of 1998,
after having portrayed borderline nymphomaniac "Marian Colby," since the
early eighties.
Jennifer
was born in Chicago. Her first job in entertainment was as a singing
Playboy bunny in the very first Playboy Club. 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. Three years later, she graduated from the RADA with honors,
finishing just below classmate and future Academy Award-winner, Sir
Anthony Hopkins. Jennifer went on to the Big Apple, where she appeared
in several Broadway and off-Broadway productions. Some of which included
Neil Simon's "California Suite," "Not Now Darling," directed by George
Abbot, "In Praise of Love" with Rex Harrison and "The Homecoming" (The
Original Royal Shakespeare Production).
Her most recent off-Broadway credits include Moliere's "Tartuffe" and Wendy Wasserstein's "Isn't It Romantic," both staged at the Tribeca Playhouse. Prior off-Broadway appearances included playing "Katherine" in "The Taming of the Shrew" at the Roundabout Theatre, "Lady Macbeth" in "Macbeth" at the Stratford Theatre and "Love Letters," in which she co-starred with Ken Kercheval.
In 1983, Miss Bassey won the role of "Marian Colby" on "All My Children," initially signing for a five-month stint. Due to the incredible popularity of her character, she became a Contract Player and spent decades on the stalwart daytime drama.

Beyond
her other dramatic successes, she has enjoyed a flourishing film career
that includes 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, most recently as a Guest Star on "Law
& Order," "30 Rock," Grey's Academy," and a recent arc in a return
to Daytime in "General Hospital," among many other primetime shows.
In addition to her Two Emmy nominations (including one this year), she also received two Soap Opera Digest Awards, the second of which was shared with her co-star, David Canary, for Favorite Couple.

In
her spare time, Jennifer enjoys outdoor activities and is an aspiring
writer, whose latest effort is a new night-time series called
"Nightfall," which is currently under consideration for production by
HBO.
Her
range is astounding as you can see reflected in some of her photos,
above and below, and the breadth of range in the roles she has portrayed
throughout her amazing career.
