Los Angeles, California / Nelson County, Virginia
By Tommy Stafford
I first met Jennings Rice probably 15 years ago. She won’t remember it, back then she was just a young teenager bopping around her mom and dad’s dentist office in Nellysford. Jim and Jennifer Rice, DDS have been my dentists since moving here in 2004.
Fast forward to about 3 or 4 years ago and I really met Jennings. She said she’d, “gotten into her groove,” in the acting profession out in California, then Covid hit. In those first months everything became chaotic in the movie industry. For weeks at a time Jennings would come back to Nelson where it wasn’t quite so crazy as the pandemic would play out over the next couple of years. She’d often come to Margaratas in Nellysford at lunch with her mom and dad. That’s where I got to know the adult Jennings Rice. We had lengthy conversations about her acting, the pandemic, politics, and a whole lot more.
I could go on and on about how wonderful Jennings is and her successes in the acting industry, but it’s a lot easier for her to tell you about it. This past Sunday afternoon I did a remote interview with Jennings to discuss her movie, Secret Life Of A Pastor’s Wife on Lifetime. The movie had just aired for the first time the night before on April 13, 2024. This was Jennings debut in a starring role. Click above to hear the interview.
Secret Life of a Pastor’s Wife is now available in the Lifetime TV streaming app and is available on other platforms such as Amazon Prime as well.
Be looking for more from Jennings. She’s on a roll and no doubt we’ll be hearing more from her as her acting career unfolds!
