Jeri Ryan Detailed Biography -

Jeri Ryan was born February 22, 1968, in Munich, Germany. Jeri is an actress with a heavenly stellar body. She was born the daughter of a career Army master sergeant father and a social worker mother. Jeri's family moved back to the United States while she was still a child. As an "Army brat", she lived in Kansas, Maryland, Hawaii, Georgia and Texas, all by age eleven. Jeri graduated from Lone Oak High School in Paducah, KY, in 1986, then attended Northwestern University, where she earned her B.A. in Theater in 1990. While in college, she won the sixth annual Miss Northwestern Alpha Delta Phi Pageant in 1989. If you think she's all looks and no brains, Jeri was also a National Merit Scholar. Jeri was Miss Illinois 1989 and competed in the 1990 Miss America pageant, where she won the swimsuit competition and placed third runner-up. After Jeri graduated from Northwestern, she set out on a career as an actress, winning roles in numerous television movies and series including "Melrose Place", "The Flash", "Time Trax" and "Matlock". Jeri performed film roles in two independent features, "Men Cry Bullets", and "The Last Man". Then came "Star Trek Voyager", and Jeri joined the cast at the beginning of its fourth season, with the episode "Scorpion, Part II". Jeri is Seven of Nine, which is short for Seven of Nine Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero-One. Seven, as she is usually referred too, is a sensual creature, neither fully Borg nor fully human. Jeri has no problem with being sold as the sex symbol of Voyager. After completing four seasons as Seven of Nine, Jeri is now transitioning to a more contemporary role in the high school drama "Boston Public". Her character, Ronnie Cooke, is a disgruntled former corporate lawyer who leaves her practice to become a teacher at the troubled urban high school. Episodes featuring Jeri began airing in October 2001. Although an accomplished actress, Jeri considers her greatest role to be that of mother to her son, Alex. In her spare time, she enjoys snow skiing as well as cooking and baking.
