Last updated

Jacqueline Lovell (born 9 December 1974) is an American actress born and raised in Southern California. [1] During the 1990s, she modeled for magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse as Sara St. James, and was known for her roles in erotic videos and films. [2] Although she stopped playing in sexploitation films from the early 2000s onwards, to appear in various TV or film productions, Lovell is best remembered for her roles in B-movies from the 1990s, Femmes Fatales calling her a "Scifi siren" [3] and "the blonde bombshell who often irradiated Full Moon's horror films".

Career

Jacqueline Lovell is perhaps best-known for her roles in 1990s horror or B-movies [5] [6] such as Head of the Family, [7] [8] Hideous! , [9] [10] or The Killer Eye. [11] [12] Many of those roles included nudity [13] ; evoking the production of the latter film, in which she had the lead role, John Horn recalls, "This role is a bisexual stoner,"' DeCoteau recalls telling (actor Dave Oren) Ward about his part in The Killer Eye, a dreadful horror film starring a giant eyeball that kills people with a blue light. 'He says, "Great, man, sounds good to me." I said, "You're gonna spend the entire movie in your underwear." "That's no problem," he said. I said, "Also, there's a scene where you and your bisexual lover have sex with a gorgeous blonde girl." He said, "Great, man."' When actress Jacqueline Lovell didn't want to pretend to have sex with two men, Ward agreed to fondle himself as he and the killer eyeball watched Lovell make out with a man." [14]

In 1998 Femmes Fatales presented Lovell as "the next generation’s new breed of B-movie queen (...), a top draw on the video market. " [15]

Film Threat describes another stage in her career from the early 2000s onwards: "She decided to get out the sexploitation game and start taking some acting lessons. Lovell and her husband moved to New York and she started taking extra parts in mainstream films and worked her way up to featured guest starring roles on television shows like Law & Order. She also found time to helm the indie feature Krush the Serpent." [1]
