Biography
Jeri landed in show business almost without really wanting to. As a child, she did not seriously entertain the idea of becoming a famous actor.
Jeri heard about a casting call for a comedy show named Mil Oficios (Jack of a Thousand Trades), and she attended the casting. Perhaps surprisingly to her, she was chosen to play one of the show's main characters, one of the two so-called Hermanas Terremoto (Earthquake Sisters), the other one being Sandra Arana, who had had more acting experience.
Mil Oficios became a hit on Peruvian television, giving Jeri celebrity in that country, as well as in some countries where the show was available via satellite television. She and Sandra Arana became sex symbols once the show hit the airwaves, and Jeri continued her acting career.
Jeri has also had her share of endorsements, including one for Clinica Renuance, a well known institution in Peru, where she admitted to having had a liposuction.
Jeri could most recently be seen on the comedy show Teatro Desde El Teatro (Theatre From The Theatre) which is shown on America Television in Peru.

“The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Had Dr. Johnson written his own life, in conformity with the opinion which he has given, that every man’s life may be best written by himself; had he employed in the preservation of his own history, that clearness of narration and elegance of language in which he has embalmed so many eminent persons, the world would probably have had the most perfect example of biography that was ever exhibited.”
—James Boswell (1740–95)
“The best part of a writer’s biography is not the record of his adventures but the story of his style.”
