Entertainer extraordinaire of stage, screen and studio. A well-known Kiwi face, Jackie has been gracing our New Zealand TV screens for more years than she'd probably like to count. We all remember her BLING on New Zealand Idol not so long ago, however before this, Jackie acted on TV3's hit comedy series 'Skitz' and has made numerous television cameo appearances, including on 'Saturday Live', 'Nightline', 'Options' and featured in television advertisements for Lotto and the electoral roll.

She wrote and presented the documentary Wise Women and Song for TV One's Work of Art. In 1998 she toured in 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat'. Jackie's versatile vocal chords have mastered opera at the Mercury, Cole Porter at Downstage and country'n'western.

As well as crooning at Christmas in the Park, she has toured and recorded with Annie Crummer, Putty, The Netherworld Dancing Toys, Paul McCartney, Ray Charles, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the New Zealand Brass Quintet. A hat fanatic and rumba queen, Jackie is a life member of the Carmen Miranda Adoration Society!
