Jayne Kennedy
Jayne Kennedy Overton (née Harrison; born October 27, 1951) is an American television personality, actress, model, corporate spokeswoman, producer, writer, public speaker, philanthropist, and sports broadcaster.
Jayne Kennedy was born Jayne Gill Harrison in Washington, D.C., one of six children. Her parents Herbert and Virginia Harrison taught their children to "aim high, give God most of the credit, suffer disappointments silently, and avoid maliciousness." Kennedy was raised in Wickliffe, Ohio. In high school, she was on the cheerleading squad, was a member of the National Honor Society, was vice-president of the sophomore class, and president of the junior class.
A year after graduating from high school, Harrison met Leon Isaac Kennedy, a DJ and a struggling writer/actor. They married in 1971. Motown singer/songwriter Smokey Robinson served as best man at their wedding. They divorced in 1982.
In May 1985, Kennedy married actor Bill Overton in Bermuda. The wedding was small, and the parents of both Kennedy and Overton attended. The couple has four children: Overton's daughter Cheyenne (b. 1982) and their three daughters Savannah Re (b. November 20, 1985), Kopper Joi (b. May 17, 1989) and Zaire Ollyea (b. September 15, 1995). Kennedy and Overton celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary in May 2020.
Kennedy was crowned Miss Ohio USA in 1970, going on to compete in the top ten in Miss USA 1970.
In 1971, Kennedy first appeared as a dancer in Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, and performed with Bob Hope's Bases Around the World Christmas Tour (Vietnam, Japan, Thailand, Spain, and Cuba), which led to three years with The Dean Martin Show as a singer/dancer.
Throughout the 1970s, Kennedy played guest roles in such television shows as The Six Million Dollar Man, Sanford and Son, and Starsky & Hutch. She found work in many commercials of the era for such companies as Foster Grant, Chrysler Corporation, and McDonald's. She also played a lead role in the 1977 film Big Time, which featured a soundtrack by the film's producer Smokey Robinson.
In 1978, Kennedy replaced Phyllis George as co-anchor for The NFL Today on CBS. After a contractual dispute with the network, she went on to host the short-lived Speak Up, America in 1980.
