She was soon cast in the Lanford Wilson play The Rimers of Eldritch where she played the pivotal role of Eva Jackson directed by guest director Edward Binns. At the closing night cast party at Mr. Binn's home Jeanine asked Mr. Binns if he had any advice for her in pursuing a career in Hollywood.

She didn't follow that suggestion.Soon after Jeanine heard about The Melrose Theatre, an acting company headed by actor and teacher Paul Kent. She auditioned and was accepted as a member and there she performed in many plays.
