Jewel Staite: (commenting about her 1995 appearance on The X-Files episode "Oubliette") It was a tough job getting mouth to mouth from David Duchovny but somebody had to do it.
Jewel lists "a really nice pair of shoes" as one of her turn-ons. She wears size 8 1/2.
Though not a professional singer, Jewel loves to sing and has performed at a number of charity events including a benefit for the Dyslexia Foundation and the Children With AIDS Project.
During the filming of her series Flash Forward, Jewel had to move, temporarily, from her hometown of Vancouver to the studio in Toronto. She moved back as soon as production wrapped.
Despite her busy acting career, Jewel maintains a close relationship with her family. She currently lives within three blocks of her parents' house in Vancouver, BC.
In 1998 Jewel was nominated for a Gemini Award for "Best Performance in a Children's or Youth Program or Series" for her role as Becca in the Flash Forward episode "Presents" (1x17). The Gemini Awards recognize English language achievements in Canadian television.
Jewel's character on The X-Files was the first in the series to share an onscreen "liplock" with David Duchovny's "Agent Mulder." He gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Ever since her uncle died of AIDS, Jewel has worked extensively with AIDS Project, a non-profit organization with branches in many major cities.
Jewel's least favorite episode of Firefly is "Shindig" because of the dress she had to wear.
Jewel married Matt Anderson on April 25, 2003.
