Most famous for her role as Debra Morgan on Dexter - Showtime's fabulous series - she also starred as Emily Rose in the 2005 The Exorcism of Emily Rose. 

If you don't recognize her its because she's a great actress who changes her look to match her character.  Debra Morgan is the rough-around-the-edges police detective with a heart of gold who in private life recently married the Emmy nominated actor (Michael C. Hall) who brilliantly plays Dexter.

Jennifer Leann Carpenter was born in Louisville, Kentucky on December 7, 1979.  The long and lean 5'9" brunette. 

The gorgeous actress went to Sacred Heart Academy in Louisville, Kentucky before attending the Juilliard School in New York City.  Growing up in Kentucky she frequently went shooting with her father.

Since her marriage to Michael C. Hall at the end of 2008 the gorgeous actress has been stepping into the fashion limelight by walking the red carpet on the arm of her handsome blonde husband.

Most recently Jennifer was given a "Best Dressed" nod by many of the fashionistas for her stunning gown worn to the 2009 Emmy Awards where Michael C. Hall was nominated for an award which he sadly did not capture.

The actress will turn 30 in December of 2009 and it appears she is just now hitting her fashion and beauty stride.  It will be exciting to see her blossom as a major actress and fashion trend setter.
