Jennifer Love Hewitt In 'Kids Incorporated' (VIDEO)

We've seen her go from teen dream in "Party of Five," "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Can't Hardly Wait" to crime solving babe in "Ghost Whisperer," so yeah, pretty much all of America has been well acquainted with Jennifer Love Hewitt for quite a while now.

But if you were a little kid growing up in the late 80s and early 90s, you've known JLH from the very start of her career. In 1989, 10 year old Jennifer -- or, as she was known on stage then, just plain Love Hewitt -- joined the cast of the Disney Channel show, "Kids Incorporated." It tackled contemporary issues facing kids at the time, including just what color sweatband to wear and how high to wear their socks. She stayed on til 1991, when all problems facing the youth of George H.W. Bush's America were solved.

You may laugh, but it also helped launch the career of Fergie and Mario Lopez.

I remember this show, I loved it! Ironically, I hated her on this show - her facial expressions were obnoxious.

In what parallel universe is JLH, as the main page headline claims, a "major star"?

Such a serious song for 10 year old's. I'll stick with the Peter Gabriel version. I did guess it was her from the picture, though.

My question concerns the way over done eyelashes from Ghost Whisperer. Does she still have them? Did she wear them because her real eyelashes fell out? I liked watching Ghost Whisperer, but that always bugged me about the show. Oh yeah. While on Ghost Whisperer, another question. Why was she always jumpy around ghosts? You would think that after all her exposure to them over the years, she'd be used to them popping up out of nowhere. Best two episodes were the ones with the military ghosts. After that was the 3-part plane crash.

I thought it was Jennifer Beales.

But I sure wish they would put "The Byrds of Paradise" on DVD!
Very underrated show.

I loved that video also. And as i read all these comments...I can't believe no-one mentioned that she actually is a talented singer. She has more than 1 CD/Album available. And she does have talent and a nice voice. I think i'll look up that video now...lol. Thx.
