Jordana Beatty was born to a family of Australian descent. Her mother, Alexandra, is a Honda attorney, and her father, Zac, is a nightclub bartender.

After seeing the incredible musical Mary Poppins, she realized she wanted to act all her life. She began her career doing national commercials in her native Australia, before landing her first on television with a recurring role on Legend of the Seeker. In 2006, she made her feature film debut in America with a small cameo in Superman Returns. She then made a guest appearance in two episodes on the Australian series All Saints.

It wasn't until 2010, however, when she was cast in the lead title role in Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer, opposite Heather Graham and Preston Bailey. Released on June 10th, 2011, it became her major breakthrough role, earning her international glory.

During her spare time, Jordana Beatty enjoys singing, playing with friends, traveling, collecting American Girl dolls and showcasing her ballet talents as a member of the Australian Ballet Junior program.
