BIOGRAPHY

After a five year absence, Melissa Reeves triumphantly returned to "Days of our Lives" and the role of Jennifer Horton, one of daytime television's most beloved characters.

Her first debut into acting was in an after school special called 'The Lakeside High Experiment'. After that she soon landed roles in daytime dramas such as 'Another World' and 'Santa Barbara' (both off the air).
