Jenna Elfman, was born and raised in the city
of Angels (LA) on September 30, 1971. While she
was still young, Elfman had aspirations of becoming
a nun, but it soon became clear that she had more
of an act for entertainment than she thought.
And by the age of five, her parents put her in
classical dance lessons. Elfman was an energetic
young girl that was hard to control. This was
especially obvious when her elementary math teacher
sealed her mouth with electrical tape so that
she could pay attention to the lessons instead
of entertaining her classmates.
After she graduated from high school, Elfman tried
her luck with higher education by attending Cal-State
Northridge College. Once she realized that she
had little motivation to continue with her studies,
Elfman moved across town to Hollywood to try her
luck in the entertainment business.
