February, 2001: CBS' official bio for Jerri
during the Survivor: The Australian
Outback season:
"Jerri Manthey has been living in Los Angeles, California,
for the last six years, pursuing her acting career while
bartending to help pay the bills. She credits her acting
coach, Manu Tupou, with whom she has been studying with for
four years, for pushing her beyond her own limitations and
encouraging her to write and direct, as well. Her biggest
accomplishment was a play that she and her best friend wrote,
directed and produced, titled Beautiful Chaos, for the Hudson
Theater in Los Angeles. Additionally, she has had roles in
various independent films, commercials, and feature films,
including the telefilm That Championship Season.
As Manthey
puts it, she grew up an "army brat";
her father served 28 years in the United States Army, having
retired in 1997. Due to the military way of life, she moved
every three to four years of her childhood, spending a total
of 12 years on various Army bases in Germany. Graduating
from high school in 1988 in Neu Ulm, she then attended the
University of Maryland in Munich, Germany [sic.].
Manthey describes
herself as adventurous, fun loving, spontaneous, honest,
and kind. Her favorite hobbies include photography, cooking,
painting, writing, reading, and her all-time favorite, camping.
She enjoys hiking and/or backpacking to very remote, unknown
places in order to escape the craziness of Los Angeles. Her
favorite event is Burning Man, a festival that takes place
every year in the vast, barren Black Rock desert of Nevada.
She has gone for the last two years and says she will go
every year for as long as she lives or until the event no
longer takes place. At Burning Man 2000, she and a group
of friends from all over California organized a theme camp
and stayed for 12 days. They built their own shelter and
brought all the supplies necessary to survive in the harsh
environment and extreme weather. Manthey named their temporary
residence "Camp Chaos" and adopted the
slogan "The Ultimate Order Lies in Chaos," a motto
she believes applies directly to her life.
A perfect day for
Manthey always begins with a cup of coffee! Then, a hike
in one of the various canyons of Los Angeles, playing with
her dog Gidget and her cat Kiya, writing in her journal,
surfing the net, e-mailing, watching a good movie, spending
time with a close friend over dinner, and curling up with
a good book. Her favorite movies are The Big Lebowski and
Search for the Holy Grail. Her favorite TV shows are The
Sopranos and Sex and the City. She enjoys all types of music-depending
on her mood- ranging from Al Green and Barry White to Creed
and Tonic. When she's ready to dance, she enjoys funky, soulful,
house music.
Manthey
was born in Bad Konstatt Hospital on the Army base in Stuttgart,
Germany. She is proud to report that her mother and father--both
from South Dakota--are still together and happily married.
She has two brothers and one sister. Her birth date is September
5, 1970."
