Jocelyn Jones is one of Hollywood's most prized secret weapons. A legendary acting teacher of 30 years and an artistic advisor to the stars, she has served as a confidential Creative Consultant on some of the highest-grossing pictures of our time.

Jones' Amazon #1 best-selling book, Artist: Awakening the Spirit Within (winner of 18 International Awards) has earned praises like "A road-map of how to become a brilliant human being" "Life changing!" "Masterpiece!" and "A tribute to the soul of the artist."

Jones recently released a one-of-a-kind, 16-episode masterclass on acting, In Class with Jocelyn Jones which is a phenomenon both here and internationally.

Ms. Jones' mission statement: I believe there is an artist in everyone and that living is a creative act. I wanted to write a memoir sharing my life's epiphanies and how they led to the techniques and exercises I give actors to summon inspirational choices at will. With this book, my desire is to give readers the tools they need to approach their live as a work of art and live in coherence with their own heart.

Ms. Jones began her acting career at the age of 12, appearing alongside her father (Henry Jones) and E.G. Marshall in an episode of "The Defenders." Her work in motion pictures includes Clint Eastwood's "The Enforcer;" "The Other Side of the Mountain," with Beau Bridges, Al Pacino's "Serpico;" as well as starring in the cult classics "Tourist Trap" and "The Great Texas Dynamite Chase."

Ms. Jones has appeared on stage in both New York and Los Angeles, most notably at The Mark Taper Forum, playing Greta Garbo in the world premiere of Christopher Hampton's "Tales From Hollywood." She also appeared with The Matrix Theatre Company, playing Violet in George M. Cohan's "The Tavern;" and Constance in Alan Bennett's farce "Habeas Corpus." Further, she received critical acclaim for her role as Lucy Brown in Ron Sossi's groundbreaking production of "The Three Penny Opera"

As a Creative Consultant, Ms. Jones has advised clients on everything from acting, to the choice of project; script doctoring; and development of future projects. Her consulting work has been considered an invaluable asset by some of Hollywood's biggest stars.
