Biography

Raised on a narrow barrier island, Fox attended Holy trinity Episcopal Academy, Hoover Junior High in Indialantic, Florida, and later, Melbourne High School. While growing up she took modeling classes, did some drama work in high school, and volunteered as a candy striper in a local hospital. At 16, Fox won a modeling contest at a local mall; midway through her senior year (1985) she left high school and moved back to her birthplace of New York to pursue an modeling career. During her time as a model, Jorja was roommates with Paula Ciccone, Madonna's younger sister. She took night classes at the American Academy of Dramatic Acting and also attended the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.
Enjoying moderate success for independent films, Fox entered the lime-light in 1996 when she appeared on the hit NBC show, ER, as the no-nonsense medical intern and recurring character, Maggie Doyle, who happened to be a lesbian. Playing up that fame, Fox went on to guest star (uncredited) on the now-infamous 'coming out' episode of Ellen.
Fox went on to film the movies Velocity Trap, and The Hungry Bachelors Club/Food For The Heart. In 1999, Fox was cast as the recurring character of the Secret Service Agent Gina Toscano on NBCs The West Wing. Fox also appears in the movies Memento, Forever Fabulous and Down with the Joneses.
As the co-founder of Honeypot Productions, an independent avant garde theater company, she has mounted a number of plays, including Dear Bernard, which ran in LA in the summer of 2004. Fox also writes for the troupe, including the play Loving Stanley. Another of the founding members is Heather Reid of Gush, whom Fox met in 1991 at the American Academy of Dramatic Acting. ~JFO
