Jennifer Love Hewitt's acting career
At the urging of talent scouts, Hewitt relocated to Los Angeles with her mother when she was merely 10 years old.

In her formative years, Jennifer attended Lincoln High School in Los Angeles where she met Jonathan Neville.
Their encounter would later prove to be a blessing for Jennifer, as Jonathan grew up to become a talent scout.

Fans also remember her playing the role of Amanda Beckett in the teen comedy Can't Hardly Wait (1998).
Comedy and teen drama were not the only genres she dabbled in, however. Her success as a teen star also stemmed from her role as Julie James. Julie James appeared in the horror movie I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and its sequel, which was released a year later.

Security forces apprehended Diana, who was trying to enter the premiere of The Tuxedo, where she had posed as a friend. After that, she was arrested for stalking Hewitt and threatening to kill Steven Spielberg.
Six charges were brought against Napolis in connection with the incidents, especially considering her track record of harassing celebrities, as per The San Diego Tribune. Following nearly a year of imprisonment and involuntary confinement, Napolis entered a guilty plea.
