Jackie Rice

Born to an American father and a Filipino mother, she grew up in Olongapo City, Zambales. She was a student at St. Anne Academy in Olongapo City when she entered showbusiness through GMA Network's reality search contest StarStruck, where she became the Ultimate Female Survivor in the show's third season. After StarStruck, she appeared in Love to Love and Fantastikids and then later starred in Fantastic Man. She later joined Dyesebel and then Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang. After that, she played Mercedita in Kung Aagawin Mo ang Lahat sa Akin.

She currently lives in Quezon City and is a contract artist of GMA Artist Center. She appeared as the cover girl of Maxim for the month of July 2009. As of late 2009, she played as one of the villains in Darna. In early 2010, she was also included in the fantaserye Panday Kids. She was then cast into lead roles via Dear Friend Presents: Tisay and Ilumina where she played a black sorcerer possessed by a demon. In 2017, she joined My Love from the Star wherein she replaces Bea Binene because Jennylyn Mercado's fans said the latter was too young for the role of Lucy.

In 2018, Jackie became famous again when she became the lead antagonist of Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka as the insane Ava and also the heartless ex-girlfriend of Marco who died in the finale episode after attempting to kill Thea. She portrayed a character that is similar to Ryza Cenon's villain and femme fatale character in Ika-6 na Utos. Later in 2019, she was cast as the comical supporting villain in TODA One I Love as Tiffy who will become the rival of Jelay. Jackie Rice's antagonist role in that series is far from her previous character as she said, "Her Ava character in Hindi Ko Kayang Iwan Ka was very dark and cold-blooded murderer while in TODA One I Love is flirtatious and comical."
