Jaime King (born April 23, 1979) is an American actress and model. In her modeling career and early film roles, she used the names Jamie King and James King, which was a childhood nickname given to King by her parents,[2] because her agency already represented another Jaime—the older, then-more famous model Jaime Rishar.[3]
A successful model, King was discovered at age 14 in 1993 and appeared in Vogue, Mademoiselle and Harper's Bazaar, among other fashion magazines. From 1998, she moved into acting, taking small film roles. Her first major role was in Pearl Harbor (2001) and her first starring movie role was in Bulletproof Monk (2003). She has since appeared in other films including Sin City (2005) and My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009) and, from 2011 to 2015, starred in the television series Hart of Dixie. In 2016, she had the lead role in The Mistletoe Promise, a Hallmark movie. She also voiced the role of Aurra Sing on Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Modeling career
King was discovered in November 1993, at age 14,
King had a successful early career as a fashion model, and by age 15 she had been featured in the fashion magazines
In 2004, King, along with Halle Berry, Julianne Moore, and Eva Mendes was chosen as a spokesmodel for a high-profile ad campaign for Revlon. The advertisements were featured in print, television, theatrical, outdoor, and Internet venues,[11] banking on their spokeswomen's "collective star power" to sell the cosmetics products.[12] In 2006, King was chosen by Rocawear CEO Jay-Z to become the new face of the line; her advertisements were featured for the winter 2006 season.[13]
Acting career
Early work (1998–2004)
In 1999, King began her acting career and made her debut in the Daniel Waters' comedy Happy Campers, as Pixel. Happy Campers was screened at the Sundance Film Festival in 2001, and in 2003, King was nominated for Best Actress at the DVD Exclusive Awards.[14] Filmed in 1999, she also appeared in Filter's music video for "Take a Picture". Following her debut acting roles, King appeared briefly in the film Blow, portraying the adult Kristina Jung, daughter of cocaine smuggler George Jung (portrayed by Johnny Depp).[15]
King made her first appearance in a large Hollywood production with her role as a nurse, Betty Bayer, in the World War II epic romance Pearl Harbor (2001). Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine commented that King "has a lively minute or two" in the film, but her part was small and the "young cast is mostly pinup packaging".[16] King went on to be featured in the Incubus music video "Wish You Were Here".[17] The roles King took part in during 2001 garnered her the "New Stylemaker" title at the Young Hollywood Awards.[18]
In 2002, she appeared in the teen comedy
Breakthrough (2005–08)
In 2005, King appeared in a variety of film and television roles. She first appeared in the independent
In Sin City, King was one of the few in the black and white film to have color, that being, red lips and blonde hair when acting as Goldie. The film was screened at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival in-competition and won the Technical Grand Prize for the film's "visual shaping."[23] The family comedy Cheaper by the Dozen 2 featured King as Anne Murtaugh in another large ensemble cast. She also acted in the Al Pacino drama Two for the Money as Alexandria. Both films had negative critical and box office reception.[citation needed]
On television, she had a guest appearance on the teen drama
In 2006, King appeared with a small role as Heather in the comedy
In 2007, King filmed
Film and television roles (2009–present)
King was cast as Sarah Palmer in the horror remake My Bloody Valentine 3D, which opened in January 2009. She also appeared in the Star Wars-themed comedy Fanboys; originally set for release in January 2008, the film was postponed when director Kyle Newman received additional funding to shoot new scenes.[27] A dispute between the filmmakers and the film's distributor, the Weinstein Company, over which version of the film to release caused further delays,[28] and the film was ultimately released in early 2009 to poor reviews. In May 2008, King featured in another Newman-directed film, Act I of The Cube, the beginning of an online movie-making contest.[28]
The Pardon, a film based on the true life story of Toni Jo Henry, the only woman to be electrocuted by Louisiana, stars King in the lead role with John Hawkes playing her partner-in-crime. This drama was released in 2013. The film's co-producer and writer Sandi Russell was quoted as saying: "Jaime carries this film. She is literally in every scene of the movie and given the subject matter, that is no small task."[29]

In the video, King plays Del Rey's suicidal lover.[39] King reprised her role as twins Goldie and Wendy in the part sequel and part prequel of the Miller written and co-directed film Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
Personal life
During her first job modeling, King began using heroin and had an addiction to the drug from age 14 to 19, at which time she went to rehabilitation for her addiction.[40] Her boyfriend, 20-year-old fashion photographer Davide Sorrenti, died from a kidney ailment.[40] She briefly dated Kid Rock at the age of 21.[40]
In 2006, while working on the set of Fanboys, she met future husband Kyle Newman, the film's director. Within three months of dating, the two moved in together.[41] Newman proposed in spring 2007, and the two married on November 23, 2007,[42] in an "intimate and relaxed" ceremony in Los Angeles at Greystone Mansion, where Newman had proposed.[43] King told InStyle magazine, "I want at least three children."[41] King and Newman have two sons together;[44] Taylor Swift is godmother to their second son.[45] In 2014, she revealed her struggles with endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome, which led to infertility. King suffered five miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy prior to her first successful pregnancy.[46]
In May 2020, King filed for divorce from Newman after 14 years of marriage.[47] King also filed a domestic violence prevention petition and was granted a temporary restraining order against Newman,[47] which was later withdrawn.[48] The divorce was finalized in September 2023.[49]
