Happy Birthday HOLLY ROBINSON PEETE!!! (in 21 Jump Street) An American actress and singer. She is perhaps best known for her roles as Judy Hoffs on the Fox TV police drama 21 Jump Street, Vanessa Russell on the ABC sitcom Hangin with Mr. Cooper, and Dr. Malena Ellis on the NBC/WB sitcom For Your Love. After graduating from high school, Peete entered Sarah Lawrence College in New York. She majored in psychology and French, and can speak four languages. During her time as an undergraduate, she spent a year abroad at the Sorbonne in Paris, France. After she graduated in 1986, she considered attending graduate school and perhaps working in languages for the U.S. State Department. However, her love of acting contributed to her decision to give an acting career a chance for a few months first. Within a short time, Peete found roles on a television series and in two films, and thoughts of graduate school were left behind. Peete served as one of the original five co-hosts of the CBS daytime talk show The Talk. She was not asked back for the shows second season for untold reasons. Peetes childrens book, My Brother Charlie, won her an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in March 2011.
