Maybe so? It was obviously available in Los Angeles, since Jim Mix scanned it.

Press Release: Emmy Magazine

As the star of the CBS hit Ghost Whisperer, the comely actress proves she is no longer up-and-coming. After sixteen years in the business, she’s here to stay.....

THE MANY LIVES OF
JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT

It’s between takes on the Universal Studios set of Ghost Whisperer, and Jennifer Love Hewitt is holding the legs of an actor who’s hanging from a rope around his neck. Although a black hood covers his head, Hewitt knows he’s probably dizzy from spinning around, earlier in the scene, so she has taken it upon herself to steady him. No one remarks her small kindness, but this is exactly the sort of thing Hewitt does instinctively: help people.

When camera and sound are ready, Hewitt, laced into a red velvet dress with a corset bodice, releases the man’s legs and becomes Melinda Gordon, ghost whisperer and the focus of Friday night’s most-watched new program.

In this scene, Melinda visits a gallery that is displaying the work of an artist who was convicted of murder and hanged. The show includes a life-size, 3-D model of his hanging. (Remember: this is television. The suspended actor is secured by a body harness.)

Suddenly a gust of wind whips through the gallery, messing Hewitt’s upswept hairdo and shattering wine glasses. The lights flicker on and off, and the model comes to life, twitching and twirling. The artist’s ghost, seen only by Melinda, tries to communicate with her but because of the rope around his windpipe, he speaks in a frightening, strangled voice. Blood drips from his manacled hands, and he jerks and gyrates. “Help me, help me,” he finally croaks.

Melinda is the picture of calm. As the owner of an antique shop in a small New England town, she’s used to having ghosts materialize and ask her to do their bidding. It’s her job, her special gift, to help them to complete an unfinished business with loved ones before crossing over to the next world.

Hewitt believes the show taps into the deep emotional longing. “Everyone wants to have one more connection with someone they’ve lost,” she says, “and we allow the audience to see people do that every week.” David Conrad, who plays her husband, credits some of the show’s appeal to the medium itself. “Film is a grandiose and presented in an enormous theater,” he says. “But TV is a little box in your own private space, so the ghost seems as real as the person cooking dinner in the next room.”

* * * * * *

Now on a dinner break herself in her trailer, Hewitt, twenty-seven, has changed into jeans, a white T-shirt and a form-fitting black jacket with epaulets. Some Melinda Gordon touches remain: false eyelashes and that towering up do with bangs. A petite brunette with pale skin and large eyes, she seems a perky, slimmer version of a young Elizabeth Taylor. While her King Charles spaniel -- a female named Charlie -- frolics with a toy duck, Hewitt digs into her Chinese Chicken salad.

Half a year ago, she was in a whole other place.

Hewitt hadn’t work in television for five years -- Time of Your Life, the spin off of Party of Five, was canceled in 2000, the same year she starred in ABC’s The Audrey Hepburn Story. She appeared in movies for adults (Heartbreakers and The Tuxedo) and kids (The Adventures of Tom Thumb and Thumbalina and Garfield) and several films that didn’t receive domestic distribution (The Devil and Daniel Webster and The Truth about Love). Overall, she hadn’t achieved the traction she wanted in the feature film world.

Sure, she was known for looking beguiling in low-cut tops (there’s a fansite devoted to her breasts). But Hewitt wanted to show the world that she could handle an adult role. She developed a sitcom pilot in which she played a single-mom sports reporter struggling to raise her child. And yet, she says, “There were times when I was, like, ‘Really? I’m still proving myself? I haven’t arrived yet? Are you kidding me?’” Nonetheless, America needed to see Jennifer Love Hewitt as something new. Again.

Not as the adorable tyke from Killeen, Texas who sang her heart out at a pig auction when she was six. Not as the power-smiling nine-year-old who talked her family into moving to L.A. where she soon landed a dozen Barbie commercials and a role in a Disney series Kids Incorporated. Not as the wholesome, anguished teen Sarah, who spent four years falling in and out of love with Scott Wolf’s Bailey on Fox’s Party of Five. And not as the shrieking Julie James in the incredibly shrinking tank tops in the teen horror films I Know What You Did Last Summer and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

Hewitt’s pilot for ABC, In the Game which she coexecutive-produced, was shot, recast and re-shot. The network considered it for the fall 2004, then ordered six episodes for midseason before abruptly killing the project.

“It was a defining moment for me,” says the actress, who heads her own production company, Love Spell Entertainment. “I thought, ‘I waited so long to go back to television that people aren’t interested in me anymore.’”

Hewitt, who until recently lived with her mother and has never allowed a drop of alcoholic to pass her lips, handled the disappointment her way: “I went to Baskin-Robbins and got a lot of ice cream and had a pity party. I thought, ‘If they’re not interested in me for TV, they’re not interested in me for film either. I thought my time had passed.’”

Forty-eight hours and several ice cream cartons later, Hewitt’s agents arranged to meet with CBS President Leslie Moonves. “Les said, ‘Bring me the twenty-first-century girl-next-door,’” recalls writer-producer Kim Moses. And to the young woman whose breasts had their own website, Moonves brought the script for Ghost Whisperer.

It was love at first sight. Hewitt recalls, “I immediately understood Melinda’s need to help people. I liked it that she had to have a certain innocence to believe in the ghosts and follow them through the woods in the middle of the night. She was like a little girl who never grew up, but she was also a strong, empowered woman who wouldn’t let anybody take her gift away.”

This last, especially, could describe Hewitt herself. Working as a child and teen actor, she took on adult responsibilities at an early age. But like those super-smart kids who graduate from Harvard at thirteen, in some ways, she can seem very young.

“A lot of people say I haven’t matured past twelve, which is true to a certain degree,” she says with a giggle. She missed a rebellious phrase because she was too tired to express it. “I worked fourteen hours a day on Party of Five, and my character screamed and cried and yelled and had a smoking problem. I didn’t need to hang out after work. I needed to go to sleep!”

These days, she claims she does like to hang out -- which could mean playing charades with friends and family (her mother, Pat, her older brother, Todd, a Los Angeles chiropractor). “For some, blowing off steam is going out and having a bunch of drinks. For others, it’s working out. For me, it’s acting stupid and silly and being a kid. I carry a lot on my shoulders. A lot of people depend on me, so [in my downtime] I want to do the exact opposite of being a grownup.”

Hewitt’s dual persona is especially evident in the media. There she is, in Rolling Stone, naked in bed except for a towel; there she is on the covers of Maxim] and FHM, flaunting her assets in provocative outfits; and there she is in Cosmo Girl, a wholesome squeaky-clean, advising young readers to ignored people who are mean to them.

“That’s just who I am,” she says. There are two sides to my personality, and they switch on and off all day. I go from being Peter Pan to being this business-oriented grownup. I figured out at a very young age that the only way I would be able to do what I wanted to in this business was to be both. I can shut one off for a second, be the other person and then come back.”

Costar Conrad says he’s seen both. “She wants to be loved, so she knows how to throw down the charm and disarmed people. But then there’s this contrast where she’ll tell a joke that would make a sailor blush. Remember, she was raised around twenty-two year-old grips -- divorced, ex-soldier, substance abusing carny grips. That was her world, and she can take it and give it right back.”

John Gray who created Ghost Whisperer and exec-produces it with Moses, John Wirth and Ian Sander puts it another way: “She’s had a shocking lack of damage for someone who’s been in the business for so long.”

-----------------
“I like the happy world I live in. The times I’ve had to go to a darker place were not comfortable times. Maybe I fear that if I got to a dark place, I’d have more in me than I think. Maybe it would touch upon something that ...I’m not ready to deal with yet.”
-----------------

* * * * * *

Only half in jest, Hewitt counts the ways a young actress can be accepted as an adult actress: One, play a mom; two, take off your clothes or, three, appear in a dark, edgy movie. Well, she tried number one. She’s rejected number two. But why hasn’t Hewitt appeared in a dark, edgy film?

Curiously, she says, most of the dark, edgy scripts she’s been offered required to take off her clothes which she’s not about to do. “The rest of my life is in a public arena -- stuff that happens in my family, what I’ve looked like for the past ten years, my hair color, weight gains and losses, dating life -- all that is shared. My naked body shouldn’t have to be there in the public. I need something that’s mine alone.”

She is silent for a moment and then adds, “I haven’t lived a very hard life. If I had to play a drug addict, I don’t think I’d believed me, let alone an entire theater full of people. Maybe after living another ten years I will be pained by something that will allow me to play a part like that. But I’m just a softy. I don’t know if I have that kind of stuff inside me.”

Another long, thoughtful pause. “I like the happy world I live in,” she continues. “The times I’ve to go to a darker place were not comfortable times. Maybe I fear that if I got to a dark place, I’d have more in me than I think. Maybe it would touch upon something that would make me have to deal with stuff I’m not ready to deal with yet.”

Then again, she asks, “Is [playing a dark role] a necessary stop for someone whom people have been watching since she was ten years-old? Do you have to kick them in the butt and say, ‘Hey, I’m not that person anymore -- I’m something more?’ Well, I haven’t had to do that and I’m okay.”

Again a pause, “Of course I loved to be the next Julia Roberts. I loved to have played Keira Knightley’s part in Pride and Prejudice. Of course, I wish some big film director would watch this Friday night’s episode [of Ghost Whisperer] and be like, ‘Oh, she’s a film star.’ But all I wanted when I came out here was to be a working actor, and I’ve worked steadily for sixteen years, which is almost unheard of. So everything from here on is icing on the cake.”

As her dinner hour comes to a close and a p.a. comes to take her to her fitting, Hewitt remembers another way she can prove that she’s an adult actress. She lifts up the hem of her jeans to reveal her cushioned athletic shoes. “My feet hurt now,” she says. After sixteen years of standing for those hours, my feet hurt.” She gives one of her Tinkerbell laughs, and then she’s gone.
