We’ve got lots of love for Jennifer Love Hewitt. See her best photos, here.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is really one of America’s sweethearts! Born on February 21, 1979, in Waco, Texas, the star began her career as a child actress. She appeared on Disney Channel’s Kids Incorporated before graduating into a teen icon, with films like I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Can’t Hardly Wait. Her career would continue strong in the 2000s with Heartbreakers, The Tuxedo, and the live-action Garfield movies.

Jennifer is no stranger to the small screen either. She starred as Melinda Gordon on Ghost Whisperer, in addition to starring in The Client List and 9-1-1. Oh, and did we mention she’s also a talented singer? She’s released four studio albums to date. Is there anything Jennifer Love Hewitt can’t do?
