Theater
Shawnee acted in a stage production of “A Christmas Carol” and various other productions between the ages of eight and 11. When she was 15, she starred alongside Richard Dreyfuss in “The Hands of its Enemy” at the Huntington Hartford Theatre, receiving high praise for her performance.
She was part of the original cast of “To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday,” a performance which earned her the Dramalogue Critics Award; at the time, she was the youngest actor to receive the award.
Film
She played an orphan in “Annie” in the 1982 film adapted from John Huston’s Broadway musical of the same name, with Aileen Quinn starring in the titular role.
In 1987 she played pregnant student Rhonda Altobello in “Summer School”, and the following year she portrayed Meg Penny in the remake of “The Blob,” the original being a Steve McQueen classic. Shawnee appeared in “Who’s Harry Crumb” as Nikki Downing in 1989, a rich teenager who helps John Candy find her sister after she was kidnapped.

Although she was never on set during “Saw IV” and “Saw V,” she was still featured in them thanks to footage from previous movies that were never used. On 20 March 2009, Mark Burg, the producer of “Saw VI,” announced that Shawnee would appear in the film. Shawnee has admitted that she cannot watch the “Saw” movies because she doesn’t enjoy horror movies. In fact, she initially turned down her role as Amanda, ‘I don’t like to see a scary image because it sticks in my mind.
Which is maybe why I get hired to do the scary movies because I’m truly scared and upset.’ After she turned the role down, she was shown a short film by James Wan and Leigh Whannell that was eight minutes long – she was offered the role for the second time and accepted. In 2004 she was part of the “Saw” panel alongside Costas Mandylor and Cary Elwes at the Texas Frightmare Weekend convention in Dallas.

Television
Shawnee portrayed Carol in the television film “Not My Kid.” That year she also appeared in another television film, “Crime of Innocence” as Jodi Hayward. Her performance earned her the Youth in Film Award for Best Actress in a Television Film.

Jasmine was quite close friends with the late American rapper and actor Tupac Amaru Shakur, the two having met when he made a guest appearance in the series “A Different World”; after Tupac was shot in 1994, he recuperated at Jasmine’s home. She was featured in his 1995 music video “Temptations”, and later helped write Tupac’s mother’s biography “Afeni Shakur: Evolution of a Revolutionary”; some people believe that the two might had been romantically linked, but this hasn’t been confirmed.
Jasmine exchanged vows with non-celebrity American Terrence Duckett in 1998, and she gave birth to their daughter Imani in 1999; Jasmine and Terrence divorced in 2008, with Imani staying with Jasmine.
She hasn’t spoken of her other relationships; Jasmine seems to be single as of April 2023, was married to Terrence Duckett, and has a daughter with him.
