Early Life
Jolyn Christine Heutmaker, professionally known as Josie Bissett, was born on October 5, 1970, in Seattle, Washington. She grew up in Kent, Washington, with her parents and five siblings, two of whom are biological and three of whom are adopted. Bissett went by the last name Heutmaker until she began modeling. She then began using her mother's maiden name for professional purposes due to agents' inability to pronounce her father's last name. Bissett's parents, who owned a glass company in Kent, had saved up a college fund for her, but in seventh grade, she expressed her intention to model instead of extend her education beyond high school. She successfully convinced her parents to spend her college fund on modeling classes in Seattle, where she began to model commercially at the age of 12.
Bissett grew up at the end of a cul-de-sac in a white 1919 farmhouse, which her parents continued to reside in after she grew up and moved out. As a teenager, she briefly attended Thomas Jefferson High School in Federal Way but dropped out to pursue modeling. She later moved to Japan to model for cosmetics and sportswear but relocated to Los Angeles, California where she discovered acting and made the switch in her career path.
Film & Television
Josie Bissett's acting debut was in the 1989 Italian-American horror film "Hitcher in the Dark." She appeared as an extra in a handful of television shows before winning the recurring role of Cara on the sitcom "The Hogan Family." Her big break came in 1992 when she was cast on the "Beverly Hills 90210" spin-off "Melrose Place," playing Jane Andrews-Mancini, a married fashion designer. Bissett remained in the role for the first five and a half seasons of the show and then suffered a real-life miscarriage, necessitating her departure so that she could take some much-needed time off.
Bissett returned to "Melrose Place" during its final season, reprising her role as Mancini. The show eventually had its own short-lived CW spin-off simply titled "Melrose." Bissett stepped back into the role of Mancini for a two-episode guest appearance. In an interview with The Seattle Times, Bissett stated that she is open to a revival of "Melrose Place" and believes that talks with the Fox Network may have occurred. On September 15, 2024, she posted on Facebook, "Everyone (in the original cast) has agreed to do it."
