About Kelly Jenerette 

Kelly Jenrette is a celebrated American actress who has recently made headlines for her amazing portrayal of Amara Patterson in the upcoming series All American: Homecoming. 

Since she was a child, Jenrette had always had a passion for the performing arts, leading to her debuting on Frisky Dingo between 2006-07. 

She then featured in various other projects such as Killer Outbreaks, Night of the Dead, The Haunted Hathaways, and Romantically Speaking.

It was only in 2015 that she got her real breakthrough with Grandfathered, after which she made an even grander entrance when Kelly recurred on Grandfathered and Pitch.

Consequently, despite only having two flashback scenes – one where she doesn’t even speak – Kelly’s nomination for this year’s Emmy Awards really does come as a huge surprise!

Jenrette portrayed Annie in The Handmaid’s Tale. She then played Winona in Limetown and Vivica in Mixed-ish. 

Now she is on the rise again as she continues to add credits to her resume with upcoming projects such as Honor Student and All American.

Each role showcases different aspects of Jenrette’s versatility as an actor, earning her respect among casting directors, critics, and fans alike. 

With new projects seemingly just around the corner, it won’t be long until we see Jessica Jenrette grace our screens yet again.
