Jaime King (born April 23, 1979) is an American actress and former fashion model. She also goes by the names Jamie King and most especially James King during her early modeling years, because her agency already represented another Jaime — the older, then-more famous model Jaime Rishar.
Born in Omaha, Nebraska, she is reputed to be named after Jaime Sommers of the 1970s television series, The Bionic Woman. Went to Westside Highschool Omaha, Nebraska from 1994-early 1995 and dropped out to move to New York to pursue modeling.
A successful early career as a fashion model peaked when she was aged 16 before her heroin addiction became widely known. Following the death of her boyfriend, fashion photographer Davide Sorrenti (younger brother of Mario Sorrenti), in 1997, she stopped using the drug.
She has since become a Hollywood actress, while still serving as a model and spokewoman for various companies.
She also starred in Gavin Degraw's video for "Chariot".
