Biography
Needham was born on March 28, 1967, in Dallas, Texas,[1] where her father was a homebuilder.[1] She has three brothers.[2]
In 1975, when Needham was 8 years old, her parents moved to Denver, Colorado, and her father's work dictated the family move back and forth between the two cities.[1] She attended both Cherry Creek High School and Plano Senior High School.
1980, in the 8th grade, Needham reached her adult height (she stands 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m)). Her high-school teacher said she was too tall to appear on stage, instead working on the technical crew. After her high-school graduation, Needham traveled throughout Europe and Australia.[1]
1988, Needham went to Los Angeles to study acting and audition for roles. She made her TV acting debut on Jake and the Fatman. After acting classes, she landed the role of Paige Thatcher, the big sister, on Life Goes On, beginning in the series' second season.[1]
While growing up, she was always jumping into football games, wanting to be treated equally by the males and not have boys take it easy on her. She re-called her past to play the strong feminine LTJG Meg Austin in the first season of JAG. Needham portrayed a Navy judge advocate and a computer-weapons expert.[citation needed]
Needham married actor Tommy Hinkley in January 1995[3] and they have a daughter, Katie, born in 1999.[4] Needham and Hinkley moved to Colorado to open a children's acting school.[5]
