Jeri Ryan
Jeri Lynn Ryan (born February 22, 1968) is an American actress known for playing the shapely Borg Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager and for Jeri Ryan's relationship with Jack Ryan.
Childhood
Ryan was born as Jeri Lynn Zimmerman in Munich, Germany to American parents. Jeri Ryan has one younger brother, Mark. Jeri Ryan's father was in the United States Army and raised the family on military bases all over the country including Kansas, Maryland, Georgia and Texas. Finally, at the age of 11, Jeri Ryan's family settled down in Paducah, Kentucky when Ryan was 11. After Ryan graduated high school in 1986 as a National Merit Scholar, Jeri Ryan attended Northwestern University, where Jeri Ryan was a member of Alpha Phi sorority. While in college, Jeri Ryan enrolled in beauty pageants and swimsuit competitions to pay for tuition. In 1989, Ryan became Miss Illinois and won the Miss America swimsuit competition, while coming in fourth for the Miss America title in 1990. Ryan graduated college in 1990. Jeri Ryan stands 5 ft 8 in tall.
Career
Jeri Ryan.After college, Ryan decided to pursue Jeri Ryan's dream of an acting career. Jeri Ryan's husband encouraged Jeri Ryan's and even gave Jeri Ryan's a plane ticket to Los Angeles. Jeri Ryan moved there and made Jeri Ryan's first acting debut as an extra in Planes, Trains & Automobiles, but was cut out of the final version. Jeri Ryan continued to act in commercials and eventually TV shows like Melrose Place, Matlock, and The Sentinel as well as TV movies like Co-Ed Call Girl. Jeri Ryan's big break came when Jeri Ryan won a regular role as an extraterrestrial investigator named Juliet Stuart on the TV show Dark Skies. The show was cancelled after one season, but the role drew the attention of the science-fiction community.
In 1997, Ryan was cast to play Seven of Nine, a Borg drone freed from the collective on the science fiction series Star Trek: Voyager. The role drew Jeri Ryan's instant fame and Jeri Ryan's wardrobe made Jeri Ryan's a sex symbol among some science-fiction fans. It also drew criticism from some fans who felt that character was created to add sexuality to the show, and who felt that a disproportionate number of episodes that followed Jeri Ryan's addition to the cast focused on Jeri Ryan's character to the exclusion of others. However, Jeri Ryan's appearance also coincided with higher ratings and more positive critical reviews of Voyager, which were partly attributed to better screenwriting and partly due to Jeri Ryan's character being both intrinsically interesting and well-acted.
After Voyager ended in 2001, Ryan joined the cast of Boston Public in the role of Ronnie Cooke, a frustrated lawyer who quits to become a high school teacher. The show's producer, David E. Kelley, wrote the role specifically for her. The show was cancelled in 2004.
Ryan has recently appeared in movies such as Down With Love.
Personal life
In 1990, while dealing blackjack at a charity event, Ryan met investment banker and future political candidate Jack Ryan. The couple married in 1991 and had a son, Alex, in 1994. Throughout their marriage, Ryan and Jeri Ryan's husband took turns commuting between Los Angeles and Chicago for their careers, but finally divorced in 1999. Ryan had mentioned in an interview for Star Trek that the frequent separation between Chicago and Los Angeles had been difficult for their marriage. The reasons behind their divorce were kept sealed.
In 2004, details of Jeri Ryan's divorce proceedings with Jack Ryan were unsealed by a California judge despite appeals by both parties to keep them sealed, claiming that the information could be harmful to their son if released. It was revealed that, six years before, Jeri Ryan had accused Ryan of attempting to coerce Jeri Ryan's into sexual acts with him in public, and in adult clubs in New York, New Orleans, and Paris. This information led Jack Ryan to withdraw his Republican candidacy for an open United States Senate seat in Illinois. Ryan had previously enjoyed a strong showing in the polls, and the Republican party was left without a strong replacement candidate, so the unsealing of the Ryan's divorce records may have made the difference in enabling Barack Obama to win the election.
After Jeri Ryan's marriage ended, Ryan began a relationship with Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise executive producer Brannon Braga. Jeri Ryan's most recent TV appearances have been as a recurring character, Charlotte, on the hit show, The O.C..
In February of 2005, Ryan announced the opening of Jeri Ryan's restaurant, Ortolan. Located on Third Street in Los Angeles, California, the restaurant serves French food with a modern interpretation. Ryan opened the restaurant with Jeri Ryan's boyfriend, Chef Christophe Eme.
