Former ’80s Sex Symbol Unrecognizable in LA: You Won’t Believe Her Transformation!

BBG News

This former actress looked nearly unrecognizable while stepping out in Los Angeles this week.

On a typical Monday at my animal rescue sanctuary, I – a former soap opera actress now aged 66 – opted for a laid-back look, with my platinum tresses neatly gathered in a loose bun.

Previously, she gained notoriety when she was just 21 years old, playing the character Cindy Snow on Three’s Company in the 1980s, which catapulted her to sex symbol status.

Additionally, she made appearances on the popular series Dallas, playing the role of Jamie Ewing Barnes, the distant relative of the Ewing family, during a recurring arc that lasted for two seasons.

She played a character as a sex worker in the 1984 action-comedy “Tank,” and appeared in both “Murder, She Wrote” (a crime drama soap) and “That ’70s Show” (as a guest star in 1999). However, she chose to leave the glamour of Hollywood in 2002 to focus on caring for animals. Can you figure out who this person might be?

She’s Jenilee Harrison! 

In the ’80s, she was known as a striking, curvaceous woman with blonde hair, but later chose to devote herself to altruistic activities such as animal rescue and care on her ranch in southern California.

In the early 1970s, before she moved away from acting to dedicate herself to animal care, auto racing, and property investments, she was a popular television actress, particularly known for her roles in daytime soap operas.

She made a significant career leap by securing a role as the charming, air-headed, yet attractive California blonde roommate in Three’s Company, which marked her breakthrough performance.

The character’s position was filled in after Suzanne Somers left the show due to studio disagreements, and Harrison played this role on the sitcom for two consecutive years until her character was eventually removed from the series.

In the thrill of my adoration, I couldn’t help but follow her every move. And oh boy, did she shine when she joined the cast of Dallas! For a staggering 70 episodes, her presence was a beacon that guided me through the TV landscape. But alas, in 1986, with a heavy heart, she chose to bid farewell to the show, leaving an indelible mark on its legacy and forever etching her name into my heart as well.

Apart from featuring in the film “Tank”, she also played roles in “Fantasy Island”, “The Love Boat”, and “They Came from Outer Space”.

Additionally, she had a short cameo in only one episode of That ’70s Show, where she portrayed a character passionate about horses – a role that echoed her genuine affection and commitment towards animals in reality.

Her guest star appearance was in season two for the Red’s Birthday episode. 

Harrison was wedded to Bruce Oppenheim, who was previously married to Cybill Shepherd, for almost thirty years, starting in 1993 and ending in 2022.

Currently, she carries on operating her animal rescue ranch from her home in the verdant Agoura Hills region of Los Angeles, much as she did last week.

She wore a backpack designed for dogs, with her beloved pet by her side, as she tended to her animal sanctuary in Agoura Hills, carrying it on the front of her body.

On a Monday morning, the previous celebrity was taking care of her horses, chickens, goats, and donkeys, carrying her cherished puppy in a backpack-style pet carrier that faced forward.

For her busy day of work, she looked effortlessly stylish as she dressed for comfort and warmth.

She wore a long-sleeved, graphically designed brown T-shirt along with navy blue jogging pants as she tended to her ranch.

She completed her look with all-black, chunky sneakers for her work day.

Her blonde hair was pulled back into a tousled updo with windswept bangs framing her face.

And she showcased her natural beauty with light makeup on her eyes and cheeks.  

Beyond her affection for animals, she’s equally skilled in sports – earning gold belts at rodeos, and her passion extends to racing cars as well.

After leaving the entertainment industry, she now resides humbly with her cherished pets on her farm.
