Jane Widdop: A Rising Star in the Entertainment Industry
Early Life and InfluencesBorn on April 23, 2002, to parents Bill and Cheyenne Widdup, Jane Widdop grew up in a supportive family that fostered her love for the arts. Despite not initially considering acting as a career path, Jane found solace on stage from a young age. Her mother, grandmother, and godmother played significant roles in shaping her personality and values. Jane holds them in high esteem, cherishing a collection of heirlooms that remind her of her heritage.
Acting Journey
Widdop made her acting debut in 2011 with roles in the film "Sound of My Voice" and an episode of "2 Broke Girls." She gained further recognition through her appearances in series such as "Kickin' It," "Awkward," and "Step Up." However, it was her portrayal of Laura Lee in the television series "Yellowjackets" that catapulted her to stardom.
"Working on the pilot, I was the same age as my character, Laura Lee—17. I was very young, so everyone on set was incredibly protective and took me under their wing. It was amazing to work with such senior actors who I could look up to," Widdop said in an interview.
Personal Life
Jane Widdop is open about her personal life and expresses her love and appreciation for her family, friends, and girlfriend, Raylene Tewkesbury. She is an advocate for animal rights and enjoys nature, beaches, pizza, rom-coms, and Taylor Swift. Widdop is also passionate about makeup, skincare, and music, and plays the ukulele.
Horror movies hold a special place in Widdop's heart, but her girlfriend prefers to avoid them. She credits M. Night Shyamalan's "The Village" as a formative experience, having watched it in the fourth grade.
Recent Projects and Future Endeavors
In 2023, Widdop continued her success with the release of "Yellowjackets" Season 2, "Tell Me Lies" Season 3, and the horror comedy "Scream VI." She played the lead role in "Scream VI" and was thrilled to work with writer Michael Kennedy, a long-time fan of his.
Widdop describes the filming experience for "Scream VI" as "a wonderful time," praising the positive atmosphere and supportive cast. She is excited about what the future holds and is eager to explore new roles and challenges.
