Jennifer Syme Wiki, Age, Early Life, and Education

Born Jennifer Marie Syme on the 7th December 1972 in Pico River, California US, she was the daughter of Charles Syme and Maria St. John. She lived in her hometown until she turned 18, before she moved to Los Angeles, California.

Career Beginnings

Upon moving to Los Angeles, Jennifer found a job at David Lynch’s studio as his personal assistant – their business relationship turned into a friendship and the two grew quite close so that David dedicated his “Mulholland Drive” to Jennifer upon her death. Through David, she met Marylyn Manson, with whom she also struck-up a friendship.

Rise to Prominence

Gradually, Jennifer’s career was improving and she made a few minor appearances, including the par in the film “Lost Highway”, while she was still attached to David Lynch. After this, she moved on and started working as a personal assistant to Dave Navarro, the famous guitarist of Jane’s Addiction and later the Red Hot Chili Peppers. However, it wasn’t her career that made her popular, but her relationship with Keanu Reeves and the aftermath.

The two started dating in 1998, and were together until 2000; they almost had a child together, stillborn at birth, which put a strain on their relationship and a few weeks later the couple broke up. Following these two events, Jennifer fell into depression and started using drugs.

Car Accident and Death

On the night of the accident, Jennifer was at the party organized by Marylyn Manson; she had a designated driver with her to take her back home, but later decided to return to Manson’s party, driving her Jeep Cherokee and hitting three parked cars on Cahuenga Boulevard, which ejected her from the car – she died at the scene. Her mother later filed a lawsuit against Manson, stating that he drugged her, which he denied. The lawsuit was later settled out of court, with Manson stating that he only wanted good for Jennifer.

Born Charles Reeves on the 2nd September 1964, in Beirut, Lebanon, of mixed Irish, English, Chinese, Hawaiian, and Portuguese ancestry, he is the son of Samuel Nowlin Reeves Jr. and Patricia, née Taylor. His childhood was rather tough living in several countries – his father was incarcerated for selling drugs, but left the family when Keanu was only three years old, and though he kept contact with his dad until turning 13, since then he has been estranged from him. He spent his childhood in several places across the world, living in Sydney Australia, New York US, and Toronto, Canada, with his mother who remarried three times. During his adolescence, Keanu suffered from dyslexia which had a negative effect on his education; in fact, he never finished high school. He focused on acting and ice hockey, and once the injury stopped him from becoming a professional hockey player, Keanu turned to acting full-time.
