Bastardly What Ever Happened To? Jodi-Lyn O'Keefe

Jodi Lyn O'Keefe (born October 10, 1978) is an American actress and model, who arose to fame at age 17 as Don Johnson's daughter, Cassidy Bridges on Nash Bridges.

Midway through her junior year she left school to star on the soap opera Another World, playing Marguerite “Maggie” Cory. She then got a role on Nash Bridges, playing Cassidy, the daughter of Don Johnson's title character. She and her mother moved to Hollywood, so Jodi completed her schooling by mail.

She made her big screen debut in 1998 in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later and later starred in such films as The Crow: Salvation, Whatever It Takes and Devil In The Flesh 2. She hit the spotlight when she portrayed her role as Taylor Vaughan in the teen flick, She's All That (1999). Jodi played Taylor Vaughan, the most popular (and conceited) girl in school and starred in it alongside Freddie Prinze Jr and Rachael Leigh Cook. When asked if it was hard to play such a character, Jodi replied, “Everybody knew a Taylor Vaughan in high school. Working in show business, you meet girls like that everyday.”

Jodi kept on filming both movies and Nash Bridges until the series ended in 2001. Later films have been Out For Blood where she played a vampire named Layla Simmons and Venice Underground. In 2005, she appeared for three episodes in the first season of Boston Legal.

Since then, Jodi has been at home and auditioning for roles.

O'Keefe was also in 3 Doors Down's video "Let Me Go", 2005, alongside Jesse Metcalfe of Desperate Housewives. She joins the cast of Prison Break in Fall 2007, her character working for The Company, a government organization.
