By: Jayne Kennedy
From award winning sportscaster and actress Jayne Kennedy comes a compelling, inspirational, and unflinchingly honest memoir about her meteoric rise in Hollywood.
Jayne Kennedy is one of the most photographed, glamorous, and intriguing women ever to set foot in Hollywood. Perhaps best known for her ground-breaking work on the Emmy-Award winning CBS’ The NFL Today, she’s a trailblazer in every sense of the word. From becoming the first Black woman to win Miss Ohio USA, to the only woman to host the long-running Greatest Sports Legends, one of the first women to host her own syndicated sports show, and her Love Your Body exercise videos and platforms along with Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons dominated the fitness space in the 80s. Along with a NAACP Image Award for starring in and co-producing the feature film Body and Soul, nobody has had a career trajectory quite like Jayne. And she has never gone on the record about her personal experiences and the joys and scars that resulted thereof—until now.
Her candid and conversational storytelling will endear her once again to her existing fans as well as open her up to a new audience that will admire her message of resilience and empowerment. Jayne has long been a beacon of Black and female excellence and has opened doors for female talent and media executives. Inducted into the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture in their Media and the Television Landscape exhibit, Jayne is indeed a pioneer. Tracing her upbringing in Ohio, and her journey shattering ceilings in American contemporary media, Plain Jayne is a breathtaking story of endurance, survival, and achievement.
