Jen Lilley is a talented actress, singer, producer and philanthropist recognized for her roles in both television and film. She first gained prominence through her work on soap operas, including "Days of Our Lives," where she portrayed Theresa Donovan, and "General Hospital," in which she played Maxie Jones. Lilley has also become a beloved leading lady in countless Hallmark Channel and Great American Family films, making her a household name, especially during the Christmas season.
In addition to acting, Lilley launched her music career with the release of her debut Christmas album Tinsel Time, which topped Amazon’s jazz charts, surpassing legends like Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr., and Ella Fitzgerald. In 2020, she released Hindsight, her debut original album, a 60s-style collection featuring new songs with a retro sound and Lilley’s sultry vocals.
Lilley is a passionate advocate for foster care and adoption, drawing from her own experience as a foster parent to multiple children, some of whom she later adopted. She actively raises awareness about the needs of foster children, supports child welfare organizations, and encourages others to consider fostering. She also helped start the Tulsa Girls Home to support teen girls in foster care.
As an entrepreneur, Lilley co-founded Christmas is Not Cancelled, which helped provide Christmas presents and school supplies for over 95,000 children and families during its 4-year run. She recently founded Raise the Reel, a groundbreaking platform that helps filmmakers finance and market their films while connecting with fans.
