Louisville’s Own Jennifer Carpenter Stars in the Upcoming Horror Movie Quarantine

While watching Survivor Thursday night, we saw a trailer for a new movie, Quarantine. I’m a sucker for horror movies, even though they generally mean I won’t sleep for about a week.

Can you say chicken butt?

The lead actress (Jennifer Carpenter) looked amazingly familiar to me, so I Googled her. To be honest, I still have no idea where I’ve seen her before, because I haven’t seen anything she’s been in (see her filmography below).

But I did learn something interesting – she’s a Kentuckian!

Jennifer Carpenter was born in Louisville, Kentucky on December 7, 1979. She grew up in Louisville and went to Sacred Heart Academy.  She’s a real stunner and, judging from the trailer and other video clips I found her in on YouTube, she’s very talented as well.

Filmography:
Quarantine (2008)
“Dexter” …. Debra Morgan (2006-2008) – She’s been on 25 episodes of Dexter.
Battle in Seattle (2007)
The Dog Problem (2006)
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
Lethal Eviction (2005)
Queen B (2005)
Last Days of America (2005)
White Chicks (2004) – Her character was “Lisa.”
D.E.B.S. (2004)
Ash Tuesday (2003)
People Are Dead (2002)

I guess I recognize her from a Dexter commercial or something. Now that I know she’s one of our own, I’m going to make a point of renting and seeing her movies. I’ll definitely see Quarantine next month – the release date is October 31.

Edit: It just hit me – she reminds me of the girl who was in a killer Ford Edge commercial about a year ago. Click HERE for the video of the commercial. It looks a lot like her. Hmmm….
