Biography

Jenn Gotzon is a multi-talented individual, serving as a producer, speaker, author, jewelry creator, international model, and award-winning actress. She is known for her natural radiance, emotional depth, and transformed ability to bring hope to the human condition through her protagonist roles on-screen.

Gotzon is married to her actor-producer husband, Jim E. Chandler, and they share their love story in the family Christmas movie "The Farmer and The Belle: Saving Santaland." The movie features a message about inner beauty, inspired by Gotzon's personal life. She created the #Beauty Bracelet, a charm necklace with five affirmations to overcome life's lies about physical appearance. This bracelet is the main story point in the movie and is sold on QVC. Gotzon also co-authored a devotional book, "Divine Beauty: Becoming Beautiful," based on God's Truth.

With two Oscar-nominated films under her belt, Gotzon has developed an uplifting brand as an American leading lady in wholesome and redemptive movies. She has appeared on several magazine covers, including Valley Social, which praised her Meryl Streep-like transformations.

Top film critic Ted Baehr, of Movieguide, has stated that Gotzon reveals character with an extraordinary emotional range, better than almost anyone in Hollywood today. Gotzon has won awards from the Film Advisory Board for her performances in "Doonby," "God's Country," "Forgiven," and "My Daddy Is In Heaven."

Gotzon's career began playing President Nixon's daughter, Tricia, in the Oscar-nominated film "Frost/Nixon." She has since starred in many family films on Amazon, winning awards and nominations for her performances. Her movies sell well to her loyal following in the faith and family market, globally.

Born in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, Gotzon was raised in a supportive family that encouraged her to pursue her passions. She became an all-star softball player, avid skier, and learned leadership skills in student council. Her mom taught her how to pray and have faith, while her dad instilled stamina and confidence in her creativity.

Gotzon's dedication to personal growth led her to continue her education at The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts and Joanne Baron/DW Brown Studio. She worked as a dancer for Walt Disney World's Entertainment Department and later moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career. She has appeared in several TV shows and films, including "Pushing Daisies," "House," "CSI: NY," "Yes Man," and "500 Days of Summer."

In 2008, Gotzon starred in the dramatic short film "Stained," which was the first film shot on the RED Camera to win multiple awards at a film festival. She received the Rising Star award for her ROM-com short "Chemistry." Later that year, she received a Rising Star award for her performance in the film "Frost/Nixon."

Gotzon's career exploded on the red carpet at the world premiere of "Frost/Nixon" in London. Her attributes were championed and encouraged by her late publicist, Scotty Dugan. She has since starred in over 20 film and television productions, many of which were directly offered to her.
