Remember this little cutie-patootie from the 1995 movie, Space Jam? She played the role of “Jasmine Jordan,” the fictitious daughter of Michael Jordan (who played himself) and actress, Theresa Randle’s, character in the film. You may also remember her from several other TV shows, like Half & Half, The Parent Hood and others; as well as from films, such as Nothing To Lose (starring Martin Lawrence) or The Color of Love (starring Louis Gossett Jr.) and more. Some of us probably even thought we were watching her in some roles that she actually didn’t play- those could have been one of her two actress sisters at work instead. Yep, the Super Jam actress comes from a super talented family and you won’t BELIEVE who her very famous old school actor uncle is…

She went from Space Jam cutie to Mommy with a little one of her own…

ACTRESS, PENNY BAE, TODAY

Okay, first let’s get past the initial shock and questions we’re asking ourselves like ‘Am I really that doggone old?!! This baby was just a baby like…YESTERDAY!’
Whew! Now that we’ve gotten that out of our system, meet Penny Bae. She’s 30-years- old now and has added a few new careers to her resume.’ She’s still an actress, but she also still has to pay the bills. So since she hasn’t done much acting in recent years, she has other skills that pays the bills- she’s as an artist, singer, and a hairstylist. Talk about multi-tasking!

SHE’S ENGAGED

Penny is also engaged to her fiance, pictured above. In one online post she wrote, “I couldn’t ask for a better partner. The road has been by no means smooth sailing. But the way we continue to tackle problems, to be there to reflect and help the other heal, is more than I would have asked for. It’s a nice feeling when you finally have partnership. Because the truth is we all need someone that loves us enough to put in 70 when all we have that day is 30 ❤️🌼🌱 #myfamily #partnersincrime #angermanagement #perfectionism #therapy #healing #togetherness”

Like we mentioned earlier, Penny Bae has two other actress sisters, who are Jimmy’s kids as well- Brooke Bridges starred as “Lilly Winters”, the young child of “Drucilla” (Victoria Rowell) on The Young & The Restless; and Rachel Bridges made various appearances in TV shows like My Wife & Kids in the early 2000’s.The family is incredibly talented and I’m sure they couldn’t be more proud of Penny Bae getting her grown woman on and handling her business.

Penny Bae Bridges’s most important job yet is as a mommy to her eleven year old son, Elijah Bridges, whom she prefers to keep out of the limelight – understandably so. So we’ll respect her wishes and do the same.
