Jamie Michelle Luner (born May 12, 1971) is an American actress, producer, voiceover artist and chef. She made her first debut with a role on Growing Pains (1987-1990), which led to her performance as Cindy Lubbock on the ABC sitcom Just the Ten of Us (1988-1990).
Luner rose to prominence with her roles as Peyton Richards on Savannah (1996-1997), Lexi Sterling on Melrose Place (1997-1999) and Rachel Burke on Profiler (1997-2000). More recently, Luner portrayed Liza Colby on the ABC soap opera All My Children (2009-2011) and Cassie Siletti on Murder in the First (2015-2016). Luner is also well known for her lead roles in many Lifetime movies.
Career[edit]
1975–1994[edit]
Luner made her first television show appearance when she landed the role as Sheena 'Woo Woo' Berkowitz in the hit sitcom Growing Pains (1987–1990). Although she was cast in only one episode to play one of three prom dates of main character Mike Seavers who was played by Kirk Cameron, she was often referenced throughout the rest of the series.[1]
1994–2000[edit]
In 1994, Luner expanded her education and passion for cooking and joined the Epicurean School of Culinary Arts which taught classical French cuisine in Los Angeles, California.
"I grew up in a very food-oriented family, a lot of cooking, a lot of eating, and I have a passion for it, so I put myself through culinary school."[2]
2000–2020[edit]
She went on to guest star in the police procedural crime drama Criminal Minds (2013) with Matthew Gray Gubler and Shemar Moore.[3]
Between 2015–2016 Luner landed a recurring role as Cassie Siletti in Murder in the First with Currie Graham, Taye Diggs and Kathleen Robertson. At first, she had only been signed on for two episodes, but once producer Steven Bochco saw the chemistry on screen between her and Graham, they became the 'television couple to watch' and producers decided to keep her on for the entirety of the next season.
"It was exciting to watch Bochco expand my storyline with Currie Graham, and I am so blessed to have worked with him. It is a rare experience when you get an acting partner that you're so in sync with. Showing up that way raises the bar."[4]
In 2016 she played the lead character in A Mother's Revenge (aka Trial), and a year later she played the protagonist in A Lover Betrayed (2017) with Maurice Benard.[5]
2020 – present[edit]
In 2019, Luner produced her first movie, The Christmas High Note (2020), for which she also starred as lead, and both wrote her first song and performed it in the movie. This movie premiered to high numbers on "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" holiday lineup that year.[6]
Appearances[edit]
Luner was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on December 17, 1996 with 39th President Jimmy Carter and William Hurt.[7]
In 1997, she was invited to The Rosie O'Donnell Show with eponymous host Rosie O'Donnell.[8] That same year she was invited to the syndicated radio talk show Loveline.[9]
The following year she was invited back to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno alongside William Shatner.[10]
In 2009, Luner was invited to attend the talk show The View, and was interviewed about her roles on Melrose Place and All my Children by the hosts including Joy Behar and Sherri Shephard, Whoopi Goldberg.[11]
Business ventures[edit]
After learning of the acclaimed teaching of Bob Proctor from The Secret, Jamie began attending several of his live global events. Bob soon became her trusted friend and mentor. Thanking him with a box of her peanut butter squares, Bob unexpectedly proclaimed on stage that they were the best things he's ever tasted.[12]
Theater[edit]
Luner was cast in the musical Li'l Abner, based on the comic strip Li'l Abner by Al Capp.[13] It was produced by Tony Award winner Jason Alexander at the UCLA Theater.
