Penny Johnson Jerald

Jerald has been married for over twenty years and has an adult daughter. The first single "Let Me Go" is already gaining airplay on rock and alternative formats. In 2003, Jerald played Condoleezza Rice in a TV movie about the September 11 terrorist attacks. 3 Doors Down released their third studio album on February 8, 2005. To date, Jerald is the only real exception to this rule, having worn around six different costumes in the first season, two in the second season and at least three in the third season. The album went on to sell over 3 million copies. Given that each season of the show takes place over the course of one day, most actors on 24 are restricted to one or two outfts. "Here Without You" became another multi-format smash while singles "The Road I'm On" and "Away From The Sun" were minor hits.

Ironically, her manipulations and death were a significant factor in the destruction of Palmer's Presidency, her ultimate goal. It also became their second biggest hit to date on rock radio, spending 17 weeks on top of the chart (second only to the band's own "Loser"). Her manipulations ultimately saw her be shot to death by her brother-in-law Wayne (DB Woodside)'s lover Julia (Gina Torres). Featuring a video in tribute to American troops, the single's popularity enabled the hit to remain on the charts for almost a year, again garnering multiple format airplay from rock to pop to alternative radio. Palmer called Sherry in to help him get rid of a threatening campaign financer, but this time she was just as interested in ruining him for turning her away. In 2002, "Away from the Sun" was released with the hit single "When I'm Gone". In the third season, massive fan response convinced the producers to bring her back, even though her return - along with the return of the show's other leading villainess Nina Myers (Sarah Clarke) - strained credibility. While the band experienced a lot of exposure and fame for the singles on their first album, the followup proved to be just as successful.

It didn't work, and she was almost sent to jail but he intervened and saved her. The album went on to sell over 5 million copies, thanks to the longest running #1 single on rock radio in Billboard's chart history, "Loser" (21 weeks at #1), "Duck & Run" (a #1 rock smash) and another Top 40 crossover smash "Be Like That", which peaked at #25 on the Hot 100. An angry Sherry returned in season 2 - where she fought with Palmer's aide Lynne (Michelle Forbes) and it was ultimately learnt that she had helped smuggle a nuclear bomb into the country so that she could ultimately report the traitors to her ex-husband (now President) and win him back. The single crossed over several formats, peaking at #1 on rock, alternative and pop radio. Sherry was ultimately revealed to be dialobical and manipulative, a personality at odds with that of her husband, and after her schemes almost cost the life of Kim Bauer (Elisha Cuthbert), Palmer told her he was filing for divorce. They received international attention with the release of their song; "Kryptonite". Jerald earned her most well-recognised role in 2001 when she appeared in the pilot episode of the Kiefer Sutherland-led FOX series, 24, playing Sherry Palmer, the wife of African-American Senator David Palmer (character). During the first season, Palmer faced an assassination attempt as he ran for President of the United States. They signed to Universal Records in 2000 for their first record, The Better Life.
