Jaimee Monae Foxworth was born on December 17, 1979. She is an American actress, model, and singer. Jaimee is best known for her role as Judy Winslow. Judy was the daughter of Carl and Harriette Winslow on the TV show Family Matters. She was on the show for its first four seasons.
Career
Jaimee Foxworth started modeling when she was five years old. She soon appeared in many TV commercials across the country. Later, she got the part of Judy Winslow on the long-running TV show Family Matters. Judy was the youngest of the three Winslow children.
After the character Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) joined the show, Jaimee's scenes became much fewer. Her character did not have much to do on the show. Also, there were budget cuts for the series. Because of these reasons, producers decided to remove her from the show after its fourth season.
The character of Judy simply disappeared without any explanation. The Winslow family then only talked about two children: Eddie (Darius McCrary) and Laura (Kellie Shanygne Williams). Jo Marie Payton, who played the mother Harriette Winslow, was very upset about Jaimee leaving. She said that the producers thought "nobody would notice" Judy was gone.
After Family Matters, Jaimee did not get many acting jobs. She then started an R&B music group called S.H.E. Her two sisters, Tyren Perry and Jania Perry, were also in the group. They released their first album, 3's a Charm, on July 1, 1997. It was released through Shaquille O'Neal's T.W.IsM./Interscope Records.
Personal life
It was once rumored that a judge said her trust fund should be used to help her family. This was to save them from bankruptcy. However, Jaimee denied this rumor in an interview in 2009. She said, "I think [that came] from the National Enquirer. We never filed for bankruptcy. We were almost completely broke, but we never filed for bankruptcy."
In 2009, People magazine reported that Jaimee Foxworth and her longtime boyfriend, Michael Shaw, had a child.
