Around the time she met Reeves, Jennifer worked as an assistant to director David Lynch, and was even featured briefly in his film Lost Highway (1997). She and Reeves started dating casually in 1998, and were expecting a baby girl in 1999. Sadly, Ava Archer Syme Reeves was stillborn around Christmas 1999. The couple separated permanently not long after the baby's death, but were said to have remained good friends. At the time of her death, Jennifer was working as a record company executive in Los Angeles. She died April 2 at 6:20am, after her Jeep Cherokee crashed into a row of parked cars in Los Angeles.
