Jenny Lewis Born: January 8, 1976
Known for: Being indie, being alt, being not indie enough, being not alt enough.
The Jews' greatest contribution to music is undeniably in the field of jazz, but we're overrepresented in every other genre too - even indie rock. That's right: Jenny Lewis, lead singer of the lightly country-fried indie band Rilo Kiley, darling of the alts, and in constant competition with Meg White for the dubious title of woman most lusted after by men who wear their sister's jeans, is a Red Sea pedestrianette. The leggy, buxom, guitar-slinging redhead got her start as a child actress on that other Lucille Ball sitcom (Life With Lucy), and had a smattering of low-wattage roles before reinventing herself as a rock star. Six well-received albums later, Jenny Lewis is on top of the indie heap, which means, in indie terms, that's she's now on the bottom of the indie heap - but remember, Jenny, when the hipsters reject you, your people are waiting with open arms.
