Islands in the Stream (From "9-1-1") - Jennifer Love Hewitt

Jennifer Love Hewitt (born February 21, 1979 in Waco, Texas) is an American actress, voice actress, and singer-songwriter. As a singer, Hewitt has been signed by Atlantic Records and Jive Records. She is primarily known for her recordings in the pop genre and has a contralto vocal range. To date, her most successful single on the Billboard Hot 100 is the 1999 release How Do I Deal, which peaked at #59. In addition, she has contributed music to the promotion or soundtracks of acting projects. In 2009, Hewitt announced she had begun working on her new album, which she describes as sporting a country sound as opposed to her previous pop records.

In 1991, Meldac funded the recording of Hewitt's first album Love Songs, when she was just 12. The album was only released in Japan in 1992 where Hewitt became a pop star. Her explanation for her success in Japan is that the Japanese "love perky music. The poppier the music, the better." As an actress, Hewitt began her acting career as a child by appearing in television commercials and the Disney Channel series Kids Incorporated. She rose to fame in teenage popular culture via her roles in the Fox series Party of Five, as Sarah Reeves, and the films I Know What You Did Last Summer and its sequel, as Julie James.

In addition to acting, Hewitt has also served as a producer on certain film or television projects. She can be seen on the CBS television program Ghost Whisperer as Melinda Gordon, a young woman who can communicate with ghosts. She won a Saturn Award in 2007 and 2008 for Best Actress on Television.
