Jacquie Cooper Theatrical HeadshotActress Jacquie Cooper is a Los Angeles native. She grew up in Pasadena where her Mom would say she was always an actor. She modeled early on but was not satisfied. Jacquie left Los Angeles for the bright lights of San Francisco at twenty-one to look for something more. While in SF she found what she was looking for and married him.

  • Hi my name is Jennifer Lynn Dempster. Born 2-27-80. Regarding Michael Fredric Gossard. His birthday is April 27th. He’s 26. He was probably born in 83. My question is, what’s going on between him, and I? And will he, and I be alone again soon, and talk about what happened? Because back in May of this year he, and I were alone, and got really physical for the first time, and I knew he was mad when I said no to sucking his thing, but he pretended he wasn’t mad, and continued to kiss me. I knew he was PO at me, because he’s been ignoring me for 3 months going on 4, but kind of warming up to me again so it seems like he might want to talk to me about it soon. I’ve been hurting so much from the way he acted afterwards, and not respecting me when I didn’t want to do what he wanted. That really hurt. I wrote him a letter Last Thursday or last Tuesday, and today I put another one on his soda, and giving him my new cell number. Do you think he will really text me this time? And than when I was leaving I was really PO, and upset with this girl Megan cause I know she wants him, and he saw me upset, and he was with a customer, but gave me that upset look, but the look like he, and I need to talk. Will he also really want to be alone with me and to talk, and work things out when he finally works 5-2? How did he respond to the letter? I already saw him this week, and I had to write how miserable he’s making my life, and thanks for showing he cares. I don’t know what to do anymore. I can’t deal with him. I saw him this last Tuesday when I was leaving, and he was coming in. He was waiting for me upstairs in the break room it seemed, and than when I was getting my lunch out of the fridge to get ready to go home he was putting his in the fridge next to me, and he was taking his time like he was trying to tell me something. What was that about? I’m still really upset with him. I don’t know how to forgive him when the time comes. I know my intuition is right about him, and how he, and I feel right now is right I’ve just been feeling really sad, frusterated, angry, hurt, and confussed. I know he wants me to talkl to him and work things out, but don’t know how right now. Anyway please help if you can. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks
