Jill Marie Jones

Jones wrapped production in Louisiana on "Major Movie Star" the Steve Miner-helmed comedy in which she stars alongside Jessica Simpson as an actress who joins the Marine Corps. Jones plays a fellow recruit of Simpson, who becomes her close friend. Jones most recently appeared in "The Perfect Holiday" opposite Queen Latifah, Terrence Howard, Gabrielle Union, and Morris Chestnut.

Jones may be best known for starring as Toni Childs, the somewhat self-involved, materialistic friend in UPN’s comedy “Girlfriends.” This role allowed Jones to transform from her soft-spoken, caring ways to a loud-mouthed and witty new mother trying to navigate her relationships. This balance allowed for a dimensional character that people loved to hate, who always drew a laugh.

Jones’s talent has caught the eye of many and earned her a nomination for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series for the 2006 NAACP Image Awards. In addition, Jones and her co-stars from “Girlfriends” were among the first women to be honored and invited to co-host the 2004 NAACP Image Awards. Her successes were also recognized in the form of a 2004 BET Nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a series for her role as Toni Childs.

Formerly, Jones was featured as the celebrity face of the Baileys campaign “Serve Chilled” which airs worldwide and spans across both print and television. The television ads consist of seven separate vignettes, directed by the renowned Paul Hunter, in which Jones stars as Kelly. Storylines revolve around Kelly, her boyfriend Lewis and a group of their friends “mixing it up,” and can additionally be viewed on the Baileys official Web site.
