Bio of Jenny Alexander
Jenny Alexander was born
and raised in a small town about 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia. She was one
of two daughters born into a very creative household. Her father was a
photographer and her mother an artist.
Jenny was very active in the music and theatre departments during her school
years. She had an insatiable urge to perform, even though she was terribly shy.
Jenny was the kind of little girl who would hide behind her mother's skirt if
anyone spoke to her. How she wound up loving the stage so much is a mystery.
Jenny took this love of theatre and music and pursued a theatre degree at
Western Maryland College in Westminster, MD. During this time, Jenny began
studying magic. In her junior year, she met magician Scott Alexander. They began
performing together and, upon graduation in 1995, they ventured out and
performed at colleges nationwide for over a year.
In early 1996, Jenny and Scott moved to Florida to work at the five star Boca
Raton Resort and Club. Living only one mile from the beach, this job was more
like a vacation for Jenny. The beautiful landscape of southern Florida was
something that she fell in love with.
In May of 1997, Caesars
Palace contacted Jenny and Scott to offer them a contract at the brand new
Magical Empire. They packed up their belongings and headed out to Vegas.
They headlined in Vegas for over three and a half years to rave reviews. It was
during this time that Jenny realized that there were virtually no women in
magic. She saw performing by herself as a way to break out.
Jenny had Scott's blessing as she began to build her own act. In no time, she
had a videotape to sell herself and she sent it out to a producer in town. About
two weeks later, she was hired to appear in a show called HOT TRIX at the Union
Plaza Hotel & Casino. She became one of the only female magicians in the
world to be featured in a review show.
In October of 2000, Jenny was named "The Sexiest Woman in Las Vegas"
in a survey conducted by City Life Magazine. Both locals and tourists alike
voted in the citywide poll. "I was actually kind of embarrassed about the
whole "Sexiest" thing. I'm just a tomboy at heart so it was quite a
surprise. I don't think any of those people would have voted for me if they'd
seen me at Wal mart at 3 AM in my sweats! Nevertheless, I am quite honored
although I still think it's kinda
funny!"
Jenny is always busy now researching and developing new numbers, designing new
costumes, choreographing and rehearsing, along with running her business almost
single - handedly. "I like things done a certain way. Most times I find it
easier to do things myself than to explain to someone else how I like things
done. I guess that means I have issues with control, but, then again, who
doesn't?"
Jenny Alexander really is everything they say she is... beautiful, motivated,
sexy, alluring, funny and down-to-earth. She is the ultimate"
girl-next-door" and then some... a truly magical woman!
