"I love acting because it allows me to be as many different people as my imagination can conceptualize, and I can spill my guts, bare my soul, and be a bitch without actually offending anyone in the real world."
Jewel is best loved for her role as the indomitable and chipper spaceship mechanic, Kaywinnit Lee "Kaylee" Frye, in the sci-fi series Firefly. However, before she was shot into space, Jewel first shone her light at the "Maui County Most Beautiful Baby Contest" and has enjoyed a bit of star status ever since.

I finally added some content. I hope fans will enjoy!
It really is liberating! I wanted to be an actress, even went to special classes for gifted arts students when I was in high school, but I hated the audition process. That's how I found out how much fun doing stuff like special effects and conceptual art for theatrical productions can be.
