I plan on drawing out key points in her life before rising to fame. I watched an interview with her on the Hallmark Channel (http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/home-and-family/videos/jessica-lowndes-interview-home-family) where I earned much insight on her personality and early life. I gathered more basic information from biography type websites, watching out for bias. I couldn't find much regarding any major childhood events, maybe because they weren't significant in her life, or maybe because she has not released any stories to the press. If I come across any more information to expand on what I have already learned, I will include it. The article currently has one sentence in the 'Early Life' section stating her place of birth. This is what I have drafted so far:

Jessica Lowndes: Early Life

Growing up in Vancouver, Lowndes attended private school, which later she learned was not for her. She knew from an early age that she had a passion for singing and acting. Growing up in a household where her mother was a piano teacher and her father held the teenage record for running across Canada, Lowndes knew accomplishing a goal and making her dreams come true was possible.

While Lowndes, as a young child, was notorious for singing and dancing all the time, she finally earned her first major acting opportunity in high school. Lowndes also produced much of her own music from an early age. During the summer before her senior year, Lowndes worked on a project for Showtime, and instantly knew she wanted to work on-screen one day. While working on this project, Lowndes met people from LA and got representation in the entertainment industry.

After experiencing what it was like to have a real role for a production, Lowndes told her parents that she did not want to go back to high school, and instead wanted to pursue a career in acting in Los Angeles. With encouragement from her parents, Lowndes moved to LA at the age of 16 and began her career.
