Biography

Josie Breen, a native of Seattle, embarked on a remarkable journey in the entertainment industry at the tender age of 12, where she initially made a name for herself by modeling in print advertisements and television commercials. This early start in the spotlight served as a catalyst for her ambition, and at the age of 16, she took a bold and unconventional step, leaving the comforts of home to pursue her dreams in Japan.

Josie's initial foray into the spotlight was characterized by her impressive two-season tenure as the character 'Cara' on the widely popular television program "The Hogan Family". Within a remarkably short span of just two years after relocating to Los Angeles, Josie secured a significant role on the highly acclaimed series "Melrose Place", rapidly ascending to become one of television's most recognizable and beloved faces. Throughout her illustrious career, Josie has had the privilege of portraying a diverse array of characters across various projects, including the ABC-produced films "The Fire Above" and "Dare to Love", the FOX telefilm "Deadly Vows", and the USA cable film "Baby Monitor: Sound of Fear".

Josie's remarkable career trajectory extends far beyond the confines of television, as she has also made a profound impact on the world of cinema. Her inaugural foray into feature filmmaking was a pivotal moment, as she made her debut in Oliver Stone's critically acclaimed "The Doors", where she brought to life the character of the wife of Doors' renowned guitarist Robbie Krieger. This initial foray into the realm of feature films was merely the beginning of a promising career, as she went on to star in the heartwarming coming-of-age comedy "Book of Love", and later, the thought-provoking psychological thriller "Mikey".

Josie, a multi-faceted individual, has branched out into the realm of hosting, where she has co-hosted the popular morning talk show "The Balancing Act" on Lifetime Television, offering a unique blend of entertainment and informative content to her audience.

In addition to her work on "The Balancing Act", Josie has also had the opportunity to host her own show, "Parenting & Beyond", a program that aimed to provide parents with creative and practical solutions to the everyday challenges they face.

Furthermore, Josie has also lent her hosting skills to the PBS educational special "Teach More, Love More", a thought-provoking documentary that delved into the complex and often emotional journey of parenthood, featuring insightful interviews with renowned experts such as Dr. T. Berry Brazelton.

Josie has had the distinction of serving as the iconic spokesperson for numerous high-profile national commercial campaigns, leaving an indelible mark on the advertising landscape. Her impressive portfolio boasts a diverse range of esteemed brands, including Neutrogena's renowned skin care line, a testament to her enduring appeal and versatility as a brand ambassador. Additionally, she has lent her striking visage to the Dr. Scholl's Pedicure Essentials campaign, further solidifying her status as a sought-after talent in the industry. Moreover, her association with Murad Skin Care's Resurgence Regimen, a comprehensive line of products meticulously formulated to revitalize and rebuild hormonally aging skin, underscores her commitment to promoting a culture of wellness and self-care.
