Jennifer Frances launched JennyBenny Blankets in April 2004 on the heels of her success with Throws of Passion, a Los Angeles based company that sold beautifully designed, luxurious wraps for ladies, babies and furniture. Many of the products appeared last season as style props on critically-acclaimed television shows, such as ER, Friends and The West Wing. The baby blankets, in particular, instantly won the hearts of kids and moms alike, generating scores of customers and an exclusive celebrity following. With JennyBenny Blankets, Frances is focusing solely on selling higher-end baby wraps made of silky soft seal velvet in vibrant bold colors on one side and inviting, cozy flannel in whimsical, playful patterns on the other. The new company is also located in Los Angeles.

Frances holds a Bachelor of Theatre Arts degree, a Bachelor of Communications degree with a minor in theology from Douglass College at Rutgers University. She also earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Professional Actor’s Training Program at Rutgers. She taught acting on a university level while attending Rutgers and has numerous credits in stage, television and film.
