Jennifer Love Hewitt's Five Best TV Moments

Wendy Rose Gould
Since her on-screen debut in the late 80s and early 90s, Jennifer Love Hewitt has graced her fans with classic TV moments in shows like Party of Five, Kids Incorporated and her most recent television series, Ghost Whisperer.

Now, the 31-year-old talented actress will add "The Client" to that list, a Lifetime movie premiering Monday, July 19th at 9 p.m. EST. The made-for-TV movie features Hewitt's character, Samantha, a post homecoming queen from a small town in Texas who becomes a prostitute after losing her job. This role comes after three nominations for best actress Saturn Awards (2006, 2009, 2010) and two wins for the same category (2007, 2008) for her work on Ghost Whisperer.

Clearly Jennifer Love Hewitt knows what she's doing when it comes to acting. That's apparent in her ongoing list of acting awards and nominations. And, all credentials aside, her acting ability is apparent in her dynamic body of work. Here are five of what we consider Hewitt's best TV moments. Judge for yourself.

1989 - Kids Incorporated, "Magic Toy Shop"
At a mere 10 years old, Jennifer Love Hewitt dances and sings Brenda K. Starr's hit, "I Still Believe" on Kids Incorporated. It's this moment that lets TV viewers know that this upcoming starlet means serious business when it comes to the acting world.

1997 - Party of Five, Season 3 "Hitting Bottom"
Hewitt's Party of Five character, Sarah, tries to convince under-the-influence Bailey to not drive. After a convincing, tear-filled plea, Sarah ends up in the car with Bailey who gets into an accident behind the wheel. Viewers are sucked into the entire scene, largely because of Hewitt's ability to fully commit to her role while never going over the top.

2000 - Audrey Hepburn Story, "Moon River" performance
Playing a classic movie star like Audrey Hepburn is, without a doubt, a daunting task. But that didn't make Jennifer Love Hewitt shy away from playing her for the TV movie, "Audrey Hepburn Story." In fact, Hewitt shined so brightly and portrayed Hepburn so accurately that at times we forgot it wasn't actually Hepburn on the screen.

2008 - Ghost Whisperer, Season 4 "Imaginary Friends and Enemies"
One of Hewitt's most heart-wrenching scenes is played by Melinda Gordon in the TV series, Ghost Whisperer. In episode six of season 4, Melinda must face the death of her long-time partner and husband, Jim. Shortly after he passes away in the hospital, Hewitt meets his ghost and refuses to believe her husband has truly died.

2009 - Ghost Whisperer, Season 4 "Stage Fright"
In episode 20 of Season 4, Melinda finds out that she's pregnant by complete surprise. This heartwarming scene displays Hewitt's fine-tuned acting skills as she convinces the audience of her shock, happiness, gratefulness and love toward the baby and her husband, Jim. Try not to get teary eyed while watching this one.
