Jensen Daggett was born June 24, 1969, in Connecticut. Her grandparents were both child actors who met in Hollywood in their youth, and retired from performing before she was born. After studying theater at Agoura High School in Agoura Hills, California, Daggett moved to Los Angeles after her eighteenth birthday to study at the Stella Adler Conservatory for Acting in Hollywood. At 18 years old, her first acting role was in The Fabulous Baker Boys. Soon after, she portrayed Rennie Wickham in Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (both 1989). She also performed in several dozen television episodes before leaving acting in 1999 to raise her two sons. Some of her best-known roles were as Nancy Taylor, sister-in-law of Tim Taylor (wife of Tim's younger brother, Marty) on Home Improvement and Charlie in The Single Guy playing Jonathan Silverman's girlfriend. She also starred as Dr. Katie Cooper on the short-lived series Medicine Ball, a medical drama about doctors in a Seattle hospital.
