After the cancellation of Just the Ten Of Us, Jamie attended the Epicurean Cooking School in Los Angeles, then apprenticed as a cook and landed a job as a chef in a French restaurant.

Played first bad-girl role, in 1993`s "Confessions of a Sorority Girl" (Showtime).

Won Los Angeles Shakespeare Festival for Single Monologues in 1988.

Studied at the Beverly Hills High School, and it was then when she was cast as Sheena Berkowitz on the sitcom Growing Pains. Soon after that performance, she obtained another role, in Just the Ten of Us.

She quit soccer after playing, falling and hitting her head.

She ranked #88 in 1996 in FHM`s 100 Sexiest Women.

She bought a remodeled home, built in the 1940s, with three bedrooms in 2,300 square feet. The contemporary, ranch-style house, with high ceilings, is behind gates with valley views.

She was filming a movie in Alabama when she heard about the chance to become the title character in the NBC drama "Profiler." Unable to fly back to Los Angeles to meet the show`s producers, she went to a local video outlet and shot an audition tape, asking one of the store`s employees to feed her lines.

A native of Los Angeles, she appeared on the comedy series "Growing Pains" while still attending Beverly Hills High School. That guest appearance led to a starring role in the spin-off series "Just the Ten of Us," in which she played boy-crazy Cindy Lubbock.

Aaron Spelling and the producers of "Savannah" at first insisted she audition for the role of Lane, the sweet girl, and only allowed Luner to audition for Peyton at the end of the day, after they had seen numerous others. Her reading clearly impressed them and she landed the role.

Worked in L.A. restaurant Drai`s.

Her first big break was playing Sheena Berkowitz on Growing Pains as Kirk Cameron`s date.

Met her boyfriend, John Braz, a personal trainer and independent film maker, in Santa Monica, where he was managing a coffee shop. They were together from 1995 to 1999, ending their 4 year romance shortly before she landed the role as Rachel Burke on NBC`s Profiler.

While filming Savannah, she shared a modest apartment with her boyfriend.

On the set of Profiler she gushed what she thought was fake blood after she accidentally smashed her hand through a window during filming of a gruesome murder scene. When she suddenly realized it was her own, she went into shock. She was rushed to a hospital, where doctors stitched her wound shut.

She learned that she had lost her previous job (playing Peyton on Savannah) on her birthday. But it actually turned out to be a great present. Aaron Spelling, producer of the failed WB drama, then offered her the juicy role of Lexi Sterling on Melrose Place.

Her parents divorced when she was 3 and her brother David was 6.

After Savannah ended after one and a half seasons, Jamie had no trouble finding work. She was fought over by Warner Brothers and Fox almost instantly. The WB wanted her to costar with Tom Arnold in The Tom Show, a show that ended up lasting about six episodes before cancellation in the fall of 1997. Jamie turned them down and jumped ship and signed a contract for Melrose Place. Her character, Lexi Sterling, joined the show on the fourth episode of the fall in 1997.

Cares about the Pediatric AIDS charity.

Attended the 2008 Park City - Kari Feinstein Sundance Style Lounge along with Kim Kardashian, Aaron Hill Sole Alberti, Paris Hilton, Baelyn Neff, Emily Blunt, Chris Crescitelli, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Chris Waitt, Aaron Yoo, and Chris Ashworth.

She is a redhead.

In 2005, she was briefly under contract with Lifetime Television, appearing in four TV Movies for the cable network. These were The Suspect (2005), Blind Injustice (2005), Stranger in my Bed (2005), and The Perfect Marriage (2006).
