Biography

Joyce Jimenez was born in Los Angeles, California to Filipino migrant parents. Her real name is Joyce Herrín Reintegrado. She is well known for having large breasts. Jimenez grew up in the Los Ángeles area where she studied at Bishop Amat High School in La Puente, California. She was accepted to UCLA but decided to forgo schooling to move to the Philippines; most recently she finished a college degree at a university in Australia.

In 1996, Jimenez participated in the Miss Philippines-Hollywood pageant. Although she did not win the title, she did win the "Miss Photogenic" title. She got her break when one of the judges of the pageant, who was also a movie talent manager, asked Jimenez to get in touch with her if she ever came to the Philippines, which she did in 1997. Since then, Jimenez has starred in over 20 movies, most of which involved nudity. Though she is a popular actress in the Philippines, her critics are quick to point out that her overt sexuality in her movies is what makes her prominent and not necessarily her acting ability.

Jimenez started to venture out from films and into business. She owns "Skin-Private Joyce", which specializes in bath and beauty products. She also opened a lingerie line "Private Joyce Intimate Collection" partnership with Ever Bilena Cosmetics Inc.

On September 29, 2008, Jimenez suffered serious injuries in a car accident in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan (coming from a Baguio City taping for ABC TV5's "Philippine’s Scariest Challenge"). Avoiding a truck, her Toyota 4Runner flipped four times and was total wreck when it rolled over in a rice field. She was treated at the Urdaneta City Sacred Heart Hospital and transferred to Medical City, Pasig City. Her legs were badly injured, she had minor bruises, had to wear braces on her neck, and had minor stitches on her face.
