Jenilee Harrison (born June 12, 1958)[1] is an American actress who appeared as Cindy Snow, a cousin of and replacement for blonde roommate Chrissy Snow on the hit sitcom Three's Company, between 1980 and 1982. She went on to play Jamie Ewing Barnes on Dallas from 1984 to 1986.
Career
Before breaking into show business, Harrison was a cheerleader from 1978–1980 for the Los Angeles Rams.[2]
Harrison was just 21 when she landed the role of Cindy on "Three's Company." After Priscilla Barnes was cast as Terri, Harrison was made a supporting cast member and disappeared from the series after two and a half seasons, with producers saying she was too "inexperienced and unseasoned."[3]
She left showbiz in 2002 to focus on her real estate investments, caring for animals and car racing.[4]
Personal life
In the early 1980s, Harrison dated L.A. Rams guard Dennis Harrah and Major League Baseball star Reggie Jackson.[5]
In 1993, Harrison married Dr. Bruce Oppenheim, a Los Angeles-area chiropractor and the ex-husband of actress Cybill Shepherd.[6] Oppenheim and Harrison divorced in 2022.[7]
